QikStream Mobile
BetaYour phone is the encoder
QikStream Mobile turns an Android phone into an IRL encoder. It streams over Wi-Fi and mobile data at the same time, sends the video to QikStream Relay and can share your position on the live map.
Built for streaming on the move
Bonding on your phone
Send over Wi-Fi and mobile data at once. When one connection weakens, the other keeps carrying the stream.
Modern codecs
H.264 and H.265 on most phones, AV1 on supported Google Pixel devices. What is available depends on your phone's hardware encoder.
SRT and MoQ
Streams to QikStream Relay over bonded SRT or MoQ, so OBS receives it like any other relay source.
Location for the live map
Optionally shares your GPS position, so viewers can find you on QikStream Map. You decide if and when it is visible.
You stay in control
Location sharing is off until you turn it on, and you can stop it at any time from the app.
One account
Sign in with the same QikStream account you use for the dashboard, relay and OBS dock.

Mobile questions
FAQ →Is there an iPhone version?
Not yet. QikStream Mobile is Android-only for now. On iPhone you can stream to QikStream Relay with a compatible third-party encoder app.
Why is the app not on Google Play for everyone?
It is in beta. Google Play requires a group of testers before an app can be published openly, so access is invite-based for now.
Does the app share my location automatically?
No. Location sharing stays off until you turn it on, and you choose whether you appear on the public map at all.
