So, let’s look at some of the essential equipment/tools you can use to improve your live stream.

For a higher quality video, buy an external camera with preferably an autofocus feature, a field view between 65 and 90 degrees, and 720p or 1080p resolution.Microphone: Investing in a microphone could be a wise decision. Make sure the microphone you buy has dual connections (USB or XLR) with a frequency response of 50 Hz – 15,000 Hz. The most common type is a cardioid microphone.Tripod: When streaming on your phone, a tripod will allow you to stabilize your videos and move independently without constantly worrying about where you should place your phone. A mini tripod with flexible legs can be a great choice. Lighting: Lighting is another important factor that determines the quality of your videos. You can simply buy a ring light, which is much cheaper and has a multi-light feature. Capture Card: It helps to record and then stream videos and audio seamlessly from one device to another. Preferably get a capture card that is capable of capturing videos up to 4K and 60 fps from your device.
