How EveryCord does it

Start the stream by picking EveryCord in Apple's recording controls and confirming Start Broadcast. The Live monitor shows each output; if one drops, the others keep running. On iOS 18 or later, Show my camera puts your camera in a small floating window over the screen.
Invite up to three friends with an invite link and their cameras appear as bubbles in your stream. Viewers chat on EveryCord Social, where you can delete messages, time out, ban, set slow mode or block words, and clips get a link anyone can open.
