How it works

Set it up before.
Then let it run.

The stream you want, without the production work. Do the setup ahead of time. On the day, someone sets a phone on a stand, taps Go Live, and gets back to what they came to do.

Before
Set everything up ahead of time

Create your event, choose which phone's audio stays on, add your intro and closing images, and send your private watch link to the people who can't make it.

During
Go live and get back to your event

Set a phone on a stand and tap Go Live. Anyone there can add another angle by scanning a QR code. Nobody operates anything once it's live.

After
Every angle, live and on replay

Your watch page and your recording both show every angle you captured. Viewers choose which one to watch, live or later.

What makes Switcher Now different

The market made you the producer.
We made the audience the producer.

A mount, not an operator

Anyone at your event scans a QR code and sets their phone on a stand. Start line, finish line, the crowd: any position works. Each camera runs independently once it's set down, and nobody has to hold the shot.

Your audience chooses their view

Every angle you capture shows on the watch page and the recording. Viewers switch between them, live or on replay, and follow who they came to watch. You're not running a show. You're running your event.

Private by default

Your stream goes to a direct link you control. No public feed, no algorithm, no chance of it going somewhere you didn't intend. Only the people you share the link with can watch.

A few things people ask

What do I set up before the event?

Your event page and watch link, which phone's audio stays on, and your intro and closing images. Do it ahead of time and there's nothing left to decide on the day.

Short on time? You can still open Switcher Now and tap Go Live with no setup at all.

What happens to the sound when viewers switch angles?

With Pinned Audio, you choose one phone's microphone before the event, and that sound plays no matter which angle someone is watching. The phone's built-in mic works fine. An external mic on that phone is an optional upgrade.

Do the people running extra cameras need to download an app?

No. Anyone at the event scans a QR code with their phone's camera. No download, no account. They set the phone on a stand facing the action and it's a live camera. Their job is done in under 60 seconds.

One thing to know: the browser tab needs to stay open and the phone needs to stay awake for the whole event. Closing the tab or letting the screen lock pauses that camera.

What happens if a camera drops during the stream?

The stream keeps going from any other active cameras, and viewers automatically see another angle. The dropped camera reconnects by scanning the QR code again, which takes about ten seconds.

The most common cause isn't signal. It's a phone's screen locking or the browser tab losing focus. Keeping the tab open and the screen awake prevents it.

Can viewers watch the replay after the event ends?

Yes. Every camera angle is recorded automatically, and the watch link stays active after the stream ends. Anyone who missed it can watch the replay at the same link and choose their angle. See the full streaming guide →
