How do I use the mobile client?

The LiveCLIQ mobile application works much like your phone's own photo capture/video recording software, but it also streams the content live¹ while still recording. Your videos and photos are stored on your account on the LiveCLIQ.net website.

¹The iPhone app from the App Store first waits for video to complete and only then uploads the recording. This restriction is because Apple doesn't allow video streaming live from the iPhone.

Is Internet connection from my phone required? Can I record videos offline to my phone's memory?

Internet connection is required if you want to stream live, but you can also choose to only record videos from the 'Options' menu. After recording you can choose to upload 'now' or 'later'. You can record offline as long as you want and later, when you're on a stronger signal or have wifi Internet, you can sync all the content at once with the 'Sync' functionality.

How do watch my streams to LiveCLIQ?

All your content is viewable in your library on the LiveCLIQ.net website. You can then edit their titles and descriptions, make them private/public

I don't want everyone to be able to see my videos. Can I stream privately?

Yes, you can choose to stream privately in 'Options'. In this mode, your content is uploaded in a way that's only visible to you when you're logged in.

Can I change video quality?

Yes, you can choose among four video resolution settings by selecting 'Low', 'Medium', 'High' or 'Maximum' under 'Options > Settings > Camera'. Lower quality uploads faster and maximum quality should be used when the connectivity is very good.

Can I use the front camera on my phone?

If your phone has more than one camera you can choose to use either the front or back camera in 'Options > Settings > Camera'.

How do I zoom while recording a video?

While in preview, streaming or recording mode you can use the up/down selector to zoom in (up key) or zoom out (down key). The bar on the right side of the screen shows the extent of the zoom.

Can I record without sound?

To mute a recording or stream, press the left arrow key on the mobile phone and to unmute press the right arrow key.
