iOS: Capture video from view rather than camera

Wowza GoCoder SDK

Is there a way to stream video from a UIView inside the app rather than the camera?

I am trying to do a livestream of what is displayed on the screen of my app, i.e. a screencast. Does the SDK allow me to capture video from the screen rather than the camera?

Yes the GoCoder SDK allows you to capture video from custom sources or from the screen rather than the Camera. Please take a look at our iOS sample app named ‘WowzaGoCoder.SceneKitReel’ to how to broadcast a view buffer.

Hello p3b1m4,

If you can get the video from the GoPro on the iOS device screen, then theoretically you can broadcast a view buffer as mentioned by @vijay_p

Does this mean the source of a stream can be a GoPro camera for instance?

Is there a similar approach for Android SDK?

yes, you can capture the stream, encode yourself and push it to the WOWZ MP4 broadcaster
