Do you need help with the setup?
Smartphone
Unless you invest in a major setup, the Smartphone is your camera and connection to your streaming destinations.
We recommend an iPhone that is no more than 5 years old if you'll be streaming by use of our Sprii Host App, but an Android device should also work just fine if you're streaming with native social media apps.
Ring light
Ring lights are an effective way to achieve good lighting, and can be purchased from most electronics retail stores. However, if you're unsure, we recommend taking inspiration from our partner Let's Go Live.

Some ring lights come with a mount for two smartphones.When purchasing a ring light, consider this feature to accommodate multiple devices for your live streaming setup.

Microphones
Ensuring clear audio for your viewers is essential. While you may not need to purchase microphones before your first live session, you'll likely find that the viewer experience improves with a set of high-quality microphones. These can be found at most electronics retail stores. If you're uncertain about which to choose, we suggest drawing inspiration from our partner Let's Go Live. See the recommended product here.
