Want to livestream games for my parents.

I see people hook their phones up on a fence, but there has to be a better way. I am the bookkeeper so I can't walk around with a camera.

If any of you livestream games. How do you do it? or What you use to do it?

The simplest method seems to be a smartphone to Facebook. From there it can get as complicated and as advanced as you want. I would stay away from GoPro for streaming; the streaming view is fixed to a wide view. Streaming with any device to YouTube requires at least 1000 followers. There is a way around it, but is, again, complicated.

Here is a video we put together for many of the options available, with regard to hardware:

Facebook page via Smartphone works fairly well as long as you have a good internet signal.

A little tip: If you make the Facebook page public, people can watch the video without a Facebook account (at least on a computer; haven't tried it on mobile). Just go to the direct link (facebook.com/yourpagename).
