DJI Fly App Update v1.4.12 - Live-Stream From Your Drone

The DJI Fly App for iOS has recently been updated to version 1.4.12 and this update has now added the ability to live stream from your drones such as the DJI Mini 2, DJI Air 2S, and the Mavic Air 2. I have not fully tested the live stream capabilities I will be doing that shortly so keep an eye out for that. This update has been available for android devices for several weeks now, but finally, live streaming is now available on iOS.

All my YouTube videos are filmed on an iPhone and edited on an iPad Pro in LumaFusion. I am a minimalist/mobile YouTube creator. I like to keep things simple.

So apparently you have to first name the live stream within YT, and set the visibility to public. I hope DJI comes out with a more user-friendly setup for this. This is pretty clunky, so your tutorial is really appreciated!

No way! Literally the other day, I was like “it’d be interesting to livestream drone footage to a platform or another device” and now it is an official feature!

A lot of people have had trouble getting the live-streaming to work on their IOS devices. So thanks for getting this video up quickly, it should help a lot of folks out.

Hopefully they get back to the level of the DJI Go app which had Facebook/YouTube direct connections and displayed comments live on the screen so you could actually respond to comments, at least it's a step in that direction

Is there an option to livestream via alternative software other than YouTube?

[nkosijackson]

Is there a way to live stream to Facebook??

[Haniflylivewithme]

Cool. Can you live stream from Mini 4 pro?

[theloganpresley]

Does this work from the Pro controllers?

[JohnDoe-vsfm]

How is the quality of the stream when you're flying ?

Will it live stream to Facebook or just YouTube?

[jessiepvlogs]

Wish they made it like the p3 standard or p4. Just choose fb and automatically does it

In this video you have put the drone shot at the end, which drone did u use for that and how did you raise the color to that extent

Great update! I logged in to your live video earlier and was lost about what was going on 👍

I tested it yesterday with iphone 11. About a 30 second lag and audio was horrible. After talking with a friend that has been using it quite a bit, he has found newer devices, audio is worse, the older the phone or tablet is, the better. I have a 2017 ipad, going to try it out on that soon. Super easy to set up, just took a few tries and a phone reboot to get it to work.

It worked! You just have to make sure your password and address for you tube dont auto fill

U are right. For Android the bitrate is 5Mbps and 3Mbps. So its much higher. But its still too complicated for common people to use is.

Since youtube requires 100 followers to livestream from your phone, I figured out how to get it running with twitch. Not hard once you understand the terminology. But anyway, I got LOTS of drop-outs during my little test. I'm using Android and I'm on a fiber-fed wifi -- no excuse for drop-outs -- but it would miss like 30 seconds at a time and then come back. I hope it gets more reliable than that. So far, reporting news is the only real idea I have for legitimate use, but it does seem cool if it's reliable. I did seem to get a second update just now, not sure if it will improve it or not.

Hopefully they add support for Facebook soon🤞🏻

That was very useful. The YouTube Live stream works fine, but the FB one doesn't. Not sure if I'm not entering the address/key correctly. You do have to remove the s from rmtp in order for the app to see it as a valid address. Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong.
