I’ve been pulling my hair out cuz I want to stream on twitch but I live in remote alaska where the internet speed is trash. I thought I found a way around this when I bought a 5th gen iPad Pro, the internet speed I get from the tower are 5 times faster than I get from a hard line connection from my homes internet. I knew that you could use adapters to plug USB A into the iPad and I guess I assumed that meant that the many streaming apps built for iPad would allow you to access and use the game footage plugged into it but I haven’t found a single one yet that does. It’s hard to find a solution on a google search because it uses all the same keywords as someone trying to screen capture their iPad screen to something else. It seems odd to use an iPad as your streaming station but between the m1 chip and faster internet speeds it seems like my best option if I could get it to work. I’m tired of the audio in my streams constantly studdering. Any help someone could provide would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I finally found this, but the capture device he's using is like $350, at this point id try it but if anyone has ANY alternative im all ears.
Here’s the link to the capture device required to use the medialink app
Genuinely curious, why not just recording the screen with your ipad instead of a capture card? If you set up up right on a stand it can look almost better than capture cards sometimes. But if you just really want to use a capture card (as someone who uses them a bunch and prefers them over video), I can recommend a few good capture cards, but I can't really tell you how you'd connect them to an iPad without a lot of work/adapters.
Something you might be able to do is somehow hook up your iPad to a PC display and basically use a capture card hooked up to a PC to then go to your iPad with bluetooth or something and record that, there's probably some software for that (not that'd I'd know of any).
Another thing is, have you tried to connect your PC to a hotspot on your iPad? I know that makes it a bit slower, but it might be fast enough depending on what you want to do.
As for the audio stuttering in streams, do you mean that it keeps losing and then gaining connection a bunch? or is the audio itself just stuttering? That could be an issue w/ OBS settings if it's not a loss in connection. You could also try lowering your bitrate, but there's kind of a limit to that to the point where it becomes unwatchable.
I'll try to check back on this thread to offer whatever help I can as soon as I can, or if you want to add me on discord or something and try to figure it out there, feel free.
This gives me a lot to work with, thanks a ton. The audio issue I’m having is it will cut out for half a second every two seconds or so, this makes it really hard to communicate with viewers but my video is fine. I’ve been using twitch studio so maybe I’ll try other software and see if it changes. I’ll check back here when I either get it to work or run out of ideas again. Thanks.
