What is IRL+ Cast?

A native Android app for going live from a phone, whether that means broadcasting from its cameras, casting the screen to OBS, or bonding several connections into one stream that survives a walk through a dead spot.

Built for streaming on the move

Core Features

Everything needed to get a stable picture out of a phone and into your stream.

Camera Broadcasting

Live from the phone's cameras over RTMP, SRT, UDP or SRTLA.

  • Camera picker listing every lens with its field of view
  • Pinch to zoom, presets from 0.6x to 10x
  • Video stabilisation, on by default
  • Frame rate selector, 30 or 60
  • Landscape 720p and 1080p presets

Screen Casting

Send the phone's screen to OBS, or straight out to a local machine.

  • Casting to OBS over RTMP and SRT
  • UDP RAW for low latency on a local network
  • Plain SRT built on libsrt
  • Works with GStreamer, OBS and MediaMTX
  • Optional SRT encryption with an AES passphrase

Network Bonding

Combine cellular, Wi-Fi and relays so one dropout does not end the stream.

  • SRTLA bonding across cellular and Wi-Fi
  • Interface bonding via Moblink relay
  • Adaptive and Balanced modes
  • Per-link priority sliders
  • Maximum bitrate per connection
  • Bonded links panel showing rate and share

Twitch & Kick Chat

Read your chat over the stream, with no account needed.

  • Merge Twitch and Kick into one window
  • Every message tagged with its service
  • BTTV, FFZ, 7TV and Kick emotes, animated included
  • Draggable and resizable, with a lock
  • Text size, background opacity and message fade
  • Chat kept across restarts

SRT & RTMP Inputs

Feed another camera into the Broadcaster over your local network.

  • Send from a second phone or an action camera
  • GoPro, Osmo and similar
  • Both SRT and RTMP inputs
  • Show as Picture-in-Picture or promote to main
  • Choose where the audio comes from
  • Status pill for waiting, receiving or a problem

Picture-in-Picture

Both cameras at once, arranged how you want them.

  • Front camera inset over the rear feed, or the reverse
  • Draggable, pinch to resize
  • One button to swap them
  • Adjustable frame border
  • Colour picker for the frame

Connection Health

See what the network is actually doing while you are live.

  • Live RTT, buffer, loss and retransmits
  • Status pill with connection, elapsed time and bitrate
  • Bitrate turns red below your low-bitrate threshold
  • Adaptive bitrate responding to real conditions
  • Tap to collapse the pill

Data & Battery

Know what a stream is costing you in data, charge and heat.

  • Per-connection data usage, live and in history
  • Data warnings per link, with optional vibrate
  • Battery level and temperature on screen
  • Automatic bitrate reduction when the phone overheats
  • Hide the preview to save power without affecting the stream

Privacy & Safety

For the moments you would rather not broadcast.

  • Privacy mode pixelates the camera
  • Applies to both the preview and the stream
  • Notice stays on screen while privacy is active
  • Screen lock freezes controls against stray presses
  • Keeps streaming when you switch apps

Audio

Pick your source and watch the level before you go live.

  • Microphone selection including USB mics
  • Live level meter
  • Choose the audio source for incoming feeds

Dead Spot Map

Learn where your usual routes fall over, before they do it live.

  • GPS tracking with its own toggle on the Map tab
  • Optional and off by default
  • No location prompt on install

Stream History

Every session recorded, with the numbers that matter.

  • Recorded whether GPS is on or off
  • Per-connection data usage per stream
  • Track data from Streams toggle
