Streaming with Larix Broadcaster

In this article, we walk you through the steps of pairing your Larix Broadcaster app with sidelineHD. The Larix app is no longer needed since the development of the sidelineHD App. However, it is still an option that still choose to use it.  A subscription is required to use the Larix app.

‍

While we do support the Larix Broadcaster app, it is not needed to livestream with sidelineHD. Larix requires an additional subscription for livestreaming to get the most out of the experience. For these reasons, we highly recommend using the sidelineHD app over Larix Broadcaster app. Learn more about the sidelineHD App here.
