Larix Broadcaster Configuring

Larix Broadcaster is a freeware feature-rich application for live streaming from mobile devices. It supports simultaneous streaming to multiple destinations with dynamic orientation, adaptive bitrate, content records and other capabilities.

Step 1: Get stream settings

Once you register and create a new resource, go to "Setup instructions" tab. Take "URL primary" and "Streams" fields content and copy them into a single string.
