In this article, you'll learn how to connect the Larix Broadcaster app to your Switchboard Cloud Encoder workflow.
Access
Larix Broadcaster is free through the App Store on both Apple and Android devices. Once downloaded, you may begin with the following tutorial (the steps are the same for both Apple and Android users).
Give Larix Broadcaster access to your Camera and Microphone.

2. Give the connection a name - in our example, we labeled it "Switchboard Cloud"
3. You'll see the Connection URL on the Switchboard monitor.
4. Larix has one field to input the RTMP info.
- You'll need to copy and paste the server URL and Stream Key into Larix as one string of characters separated by a forward slash.
- We've made this step easy:
Click the Copy button next to the "Connection URL" and paste it into the Larix URL field.
[Note] If you’re using a workflow with a separate RTMP URL and Stream Key
Use this format: Server URL / Stream Key
-
- Copy and paste the Server URL
