This article guides the user through the process of streaming video from the mobile Switcher Studio app to Switchboard Cloud.
NOTE: After following the steps to connect Switcher Studio and Switchboard, we suggest using separate devices to manage them independently.
- If you are attempting to use Switchboard and Switcher Studio on the same iOS device, you will run into difficulties doing so because when you tab/switch out of the Switcher Studio application to start your destinations in Switchboard via your web browser, you will lose "app focus" and the video will stop in Switcher.
- We are aware of this extra step and hope to work with Switcher to provide a more integrated, simpler solution moving forward, but for now, we recommend using Switchboard on a second device (computer, phone, tablet) and using the Switcher Studio app as usual on your primary iOS device.
