This article outlines how to use two phones while you're live, one as a controller and one as a camera. In general, the device that you use the start your livestream is the device that will act as a camera. Your second device can then be used as the controller.
Using Two Phones
- Open Whatnot on the device you wish to use as the camera
- Navigate to your profile and open your scheduled stream
- Hit Start Show - your livestream will start using this device as a camera
- On your second device, open Whatnot and navigate to your profile
- Click on the livestream that you are currently running to open it
- Once you open the stream on your second device, you can now control the stream separately from the device being used as the camera
Note: you can use a desktop as your second device by following the same steps. Simply start the stream on your mobile device to use as a camera, and then open your stream from your Seller Hub on Whatnot.com to use your desktop as the controller.
