Sometimes cellular connection may not be available during a mobile stream. In these cases, you'll be prompted to Record Only.
How do I Record Only?
The Record Only option is available both when there is cellular connection and when there is not.
No cellular connection:
- This feature enables you to record the service locally on the device. Once a connection is available, simply upload the recording directly from the app to the original viewing link.
Cellular connection:
- Use this mode to record a previously scheduled event without the risk of the stream dropping -ideal when live streaming isn’t critical.
- You can also start a last-minute recording if you forgot to schedule an event in advance. Note: You’ll need to schedule the event on the Dashboard afterward to generate a viewing link for uploading the recording.
A note about audio & Record Only
As the Record Only option does not show an audio meter in the app, there are a few ways to verify your audio prior to starting a Record Only stream depending on your setup. Note: Do not test audio or leave the LiveControl app after a recording has been started to avoid audio interruption.
If you have the Enterprise Mobile Kit:
- Verify your audio by turning on the receiver and one or both microphones prior to the event. Speak into the microphones and you'll see the audio meter on the receiver in the kit.
If you have a LiveControl iPad with the Hollyland audio accessory:
- Plug in the Hollyland audio accessory to the iPad and turn it on
- Open the Hollyland app on the iPad
You'll see an audio meter and be able to test both mics
If you have another audio accessory and your own device:
- Check with the manufacturer if there is an app that can be downloaded to test your audio
- If that's not available to you, you may always run a mobile app Test stream and test audio on a test event
