Frequently Asked Questions
What devices do I need to use IRL?
At minimum, one iPhone to stream. For bonding, you'll need additional iPhones, Androids or a device with hotspot capability. Self-hosted servers can run on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac.
Does IRL work on Android?
We have an app that lets you bond the connection of Android device but you cant stream from an Android device yet. You can download that app Here.
How much data does a typical stream use?
It depends on your bitrate and stream length. At 8 Mbps output, expect roughly 3.5 GB per hour. With HEVC encoding, you can reduce that significantly while maintaining the same visual quality.
What happens if ALL my connections drop?
Your viewers see a holding screen instead of "Offline." The moment any connection returns, your stream resumes automatically. No lost audience, no panic.
Can I use IRL without bonding?
Absolutely. Solo streaming gives you multi-RTMP output, connection drop protection, HEVC encoding, and server options. Bonding just adds extra reliability when you need it.
How do I stream to multiple platforms at once?
In the app, add RTMP keys for each platform (Twitch, Kick, YouTube, etc.). You can start and stop each one independently, even mid-stream. One tap to go live everywhere.
What's the difference between Cloud and Private Cloud?
Cloud servers are shared infrastructure — cost-effective and reliable for most streamers. Private Cloud gives you dedicated resources with no shared bandwidth — better for high-volume streaming or professional use where you need guaranteed, consistent performance.
How does the $200 free credit work?
