FanaticalLive

Streaming games is cool.If I can take the stupid out of it.

Fanatical Live is me making tools I want to use for live production. The first is Fanatical Live Switcher — an iPad app for multi-camera live video switching and streaming. Connect your cameras, mix audio, and broadcast to YouTube, Facebook Live, or any RTMP destination, all from one iPad.

I named it this because I am a FAN, and making this work the way I want has become a bit of an obsession. Now I am distracted less by the cameras, network, connection, etc. and have more fun streaming my kids' games.

First product

Fanatical Live Switcher

A live streaming switcher for iPad. Multi-camera, audio mixing, native camera controls, instant replay, dynamic camera sorting, real-time stream metrics, media playback and broadcast-quality output, simple and intuitive.

Built for sports parents, community broadcasters, and anyone tired of fighting their tool instead of watching the game.

If you choose to connect your YouTube or Facebook account, Fanatical Live Switcher uses that access for one purpose only: creating and managing your live broadcasts and highlight links on your behalf. Your data is never sold, shared, or used for anything else — see our Privacy Policy for the full details.

In development. App Store launch coming soon.
