The Livestream app has been updated today with a couple of new features, including bug fixes for iOS 8. The headline change however is that the app has added integration with GoPro Hero cameras. This means you can now stream straight to the web whilst in the midst of action.
Effectively, the iPhone acts as a network hub, connecting the GoPro camera to the Internet. The GoPro connects to the phone wirelessly, so the iPhone can just be left in a pocket — like a wireless hotspot. The app handles the uploading of the video in realtime.
You can download the Livestream app for free from the App Store.

FINALLY! the very first GoPro was supposed Live Stream to the web. “Our Engineer Team is working on it” is the response I got back in 2012 when I contacted GoPro on the matter. I was trying to do this graphic design project live using a GoPro: http://youtu.be/kA5jLEztcLM or R3FLECT.com for other projects
Huh? The “very first GoPro” was in 2004.
Cool! So the internet can see your fail before you do!

But why bother with a GoPro Camera when you can use the iPhone + Bambuser’s regular or Iris Mobile Reporter app to livestream in a really lightweight and professional way? Bambuser also offers an audio Talkback feature for real-time interaction between contributors and eg a newsroom during the stream.
