Live Stream Video with Yi 4k Camera

The Yi 4k ($107) and Yi 4k+ ($159) allow you to stream directly to Facebook or YouTube without the need for a dedicated encoder or smart device running an app (other than initial setup). All that is needed is a 4G MiFi or a 4G hotspot (such as your Race Capture display tablet).

2) Click on the camera icon on bottom left and then click Live top right

This brings you to the configure live settings page

3) Configure the settings, Make sure that your MiFi or Tablet Hotspot is setup and turned on first.

Configuring via app can be done before the race without the camera, just don't close the app or you'll lose the info

NOTE: Using the out of box YouTube settings is currently not functioning due to a change in YouTube live stream policy. However you can still stream to YouTube without needing 1000 subscribers by entering in Custom Live Push URL for YouTube.

Please follow this video on how to use the Custom Live Push URL for YouTube.

4) Turn on Yi Camera and click where it says Video bottom middle.

5) Scroll down to where it says Live and click it.

6) Go back to your phone with the Yi app from step 3 and click the green Start Live button, which will bring up this QR code.

This QR code will be stored in the 'SportsCamera' directory of your smart device's photo gallery in case you need to restart the camera and continue the live video.

7) Stick the QR code in front of the camera and wait up to a minute for it to configure and start streaming. Check app for success or failure status.

9) Add your live streaming video to your Podium.live event page
