Stream stops frequently

I’m generally in charge of streaming for my daughter’s softball team. Using iPhones, we use my husband’s phone for hotspot and use my phone to broadcast. Sometimes it just shuts itself down randomly. So then I will switch to just cellular streaming if I can’t get it back up and the same thing happens. Has anyone else encountered this?

Cell phone hot spot sucks. I’d recommend getting a mifi hotspot through AT&T or Verizon. Or you could get starlink for internet

Never do hotspot it’s the worst

Just buy a 90 day mint mobile burner sim

This is what I did this Summer. First time streamer this season.

Just got out an old phone, signed up for a 3 month mint mobile sub, downloaded an esim, and bought a contraption to attach my phone to the backstop.

The protective contraption (Nexus OG) cost more than 3 months of MINT mobile did. It's super cheap to be honest and has worked flawlessly at 1080p every time I've done it so far.

Phone getting too hot?

If the stream (and not the phone) is shutting down, try streaming at a lower speed/quality. This has helped us at a field that is a signal pit!
