There is no watermark, no time limit and no paid upgrade. Sparks are optional purchases viewers send in live chat to support streamers; recording, streaming, co-hosting, chat and clips are free for everyone.

OneStream Live is a cloud streaming service from OneStream Live Oy. It schedules pre-recorded video to play as live, hosts a browser studio for real-time shows, accepts encoder streams, and sends to many destinations at once. Its iPhone app on the App Store needs iOS 16.6 or later.

Screen capture on iPhone

OneStream Live's App Store listing says you can share your screen during a real-time broadcast, and its September 2026 release post lists your screen among the sources you can bring into a Studio session from the phone. The pages do not describe whether that captures other apps or a game.

EveryCord uses Apple's screen recording. You pick EveryCord in the recording controls, confirm Start Broadcast, and everything on the screen goes out, with app audio, microphone or both. It needs no EveryCord account for YouTube, Twitch or custom RTMP.
