Recommended Apps

You basically need these.

Introduction

With streaming backpacks, it's pretty much required that you're controlling everything with your phone. You're going to start and stop your stream from your phone. You're going to troubleshoot server problems with your phone. You're going to read chat on your phone. Alerts with sound are going to play through your phone.

OBS Blade

OBS Blade is an open-source mobile application which uses the OBS WebSocket plugin. This allows you to remotely control OBS Studio on your streaming server. With this application, you will start and stop the stream, change scenes, and show and hide specific layers in your OBS scenes. It is available on both Android and Apple devices from their respective app stores.

Stream buddy

The Stream buddy application can display both the chat and your alertbox on one screen. The paid version allows you to also see and control aspects of OBS Studio, as well as display some very useful statistics like bitrate. This app is only on Android and is not available on Apple devices, and I'm unaware of an Apple alternative.

Remote Desktop / Chrome Remote Desktop

Setting up one of the several remote desktop apps will save your life. Sometimes things happen on your streaming server that can only be fixed by logging into it and changing or restarting something.
