The XbotGo camera system allows users to stream video to GameChanger through the XbotGo App. XbotGo devices that are supported are:
- XbotGo Falcon
- XbotGo Chameleon
- XbotGo Sports Gimbal
Please make sure that your XBotGo app has been updated to the following versions of the app or higher:
- Android - 4.4.7
- iOS - 4.4.7
When streaming using an external camera using an RTMPS URL and Key, generated by GameChanger, users are dependent on the software of the camera manufacturer. In that streaming setup, settings such as focus, resolution, and zoom are those of the device manufacturer and are controlled in the XbotGo app. Unfortunately, controlling those settings is out of our GameChanger application's control. Please reach out to your respective manufacturer to resolve any issues with those features.
GameChanger supports a maximum streaming resolution of 1080p for external cameras.
Even if your camera supports higher resolutions, select 1080p or lower. If you stream above 1080p, GameChanger will not broadcast or record the video.
GameChanger recommends that users determine their upload speed to help determine the best resolution to stream based on network connection and conditions. Please visit our Improving Stream Quality for External Cameras support site for more information.
