Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CameraFi Live is a mobile live-streaming and recording app for individual creators, mobile gamers, sports broadcasters, and small streaming teams. It can broadcast a smartphone camera, smartphone screen, or connected external camera to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Restream, RTMP, and SRT. The app is available on Android and iOS, with camera controls for zoom, focus, exposure, white balance, and ISO.
Its feature set extends beyond basic mobile broadcasting. CameraFi Live supports image, text, video, audio, chat, and web-browser overlays, along with video filters, motion effects, and picture-in-picture. Instant replay, audio mixing with microphones and audio files, presets, and local saving support more involved productions. External cameras connect through USB and capture devices, making the app a fit for mobile setups that need more than a phone camera. The published category specifications show 4K maximum output quality, while multistreaming is available through Restream.
CameraFi Live uses a freemium model with a free plan and a 30-day free trial. The listed starting price is 14.99, and the All-In-One Package adds premium CameraFi Live features. Pricing may vary by country and app store. Its ecosystem includes YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Restream, RTMP, SRT, OBS, vMix, and Streamlabs, but its verified application platforms remain Android and iOS. Choose it for mobile-first production with external cameras, overlays, replay, and recording; choose an alternative if you need a desktop-native encoder or a platform outside mobile operating systems.
