# Tips: Going Live on Mobile

### Before You Go Live

{% step %}

#### **Device Setup**

* Use a recent high-end device on the latest OS.
* Update to the latest version of the Tilt app.
* Close all unnecessary apps — only keep Tilt running.
* Set screen brightness to 40–60% (use external lighting instead).
* Free up at least 5GB of storage.
* Clean your camera lens to ensure crystal clear quality.
* Remove your phone case — it can trap heat and block cooling.

#### Charging

* Charge to 90–100% before your stream.
* Unplug before going live — charging adds heat.
  {% endstep %}

### During Your Stream

{% step %}

#### **Internet Connection**

* Use Wi-Fi, preferably 5GHz.
* Stay close to your router for a stronger signal.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Keep it cool**

* Stream in a cool room with airflow — a small fan pointed at your device helps.
* Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Power Management

* Don’t charge during your stream (cable or wireless).
* Turn **off** Low Power Mode (it reduces performance).

Charging generates heat, which is your biggest enemy while streaming.

{% endstep %}

#### Monitoring

* Keep an eye on battery level and device temperature.
* Watch for warning signs: lag, frame drops, or slowdowns.
* Avoid switching apps, screen recording, or letting notifications interrupt.

These steps will help, but can’t guarantee a crash-free stream. Long sessions may still cause performance issues if your phone runs out of memory or overheats.
