# Apple Devices

## Introduction

I do not personally recommend using an Apple device for IRL Streaming. This is mainly because the applications are all more limited than their Android counterparts ([Android Devices](/android-devices.md)). There are also known issues with playing alerts, which is related to Apple blocking random third-party services in apps (according to Prism staff).

However, if you're set on using an Apple device for IRL Streaming, there are applications in the App Store, and this section will cover those.

## Moblin (Recommended)

[Moblin ](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/moblin/id6466745933)is a newer app on the scene for Apple devices. It is [open source](https://github.com/eerimoq/moblin) and offers a ton of features. It has a community discord linked on the [GitHub](https://github.com/eerimoq/moblin) page as well. It seems to boast the most features and may very well be the best solution for IRL Streaming on an Apple device at this time.

Further, it appears to play alerts on iPhone 13/14 devices, where Prism Live Studio struggled, and in many cases didn't work at all.

To add overlays in Moblin, open the application and navigate to 'Settings.'

1. Open 'Scenes' and click 'Widgets'
2. Scroll down and click 'Create'
3. Click the new widget it creates, and then click 'URL'
4. Add your desired overlay URL (ex: <https://powerchat.live/loulz/tts>)
5. Go back to the 'Scenes' page and click one of your scenes (ex: BACK, FRONT)
6. Under 'WIDGETS' click 'Add' and add the Powerchat overlay widget you created. Do this for all your scenes.

## Prism Live Studio

I recommend referencing the [Prism Live Studio](/android-devices/prism-live-studio.md) Android page, as the app is very similar on both platforms. This has historically been the most popular Apple application used by people I personally know for IRL Streaming. I would still personally use [Moblin](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/moblin/id6466745933), but Prism Live Studio is very easy to setup and use. You can [download it here](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/prism-live-streaming-app/id1319056339).

## Streamlabs Mobile

The [Streamlabs Mobile](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/streamlabs-live-streaming-app/id1294578643) application for Apple devices is more limited than the Android version. The Apple version does not allow using third-party overlays and limits you specifically to the overlays provided by Streamlabs. This means that any platform they don't natively support isn't going to be supported by this application when it comes to chat and alerts.

## Recommended Accessories

Check [Recommended Accessories](/android-devices/recommended-accessories.md), as the accessories I recommend are universal for Android and Apple devices.
