Attention Livestreamers! - Larix (Not Needed)
We recommend switching to the sidelineHD app on iOS or Google Play if you're currently using Larix. Recently, Larix has added a full-screen watermark for users not subscribed to their paid plan, which can impact your viewers' experience. It makes for subpar streams and clips.
With the sidelineHD apps, you can enjoy a smooth, watermark-free experience for all your streaming needs!
Learn more about the sidelineHD App here:
The Larix Broadcaster app now has two modes of operation (as of May 22, 2023).
- Streaming with regular compression (H.264) is free. This is comparable to Mevo, GoPro, OBS, and other standard forms of video streaming. The free version now has an obnoxious overlay.
-
Streaming with advanced compression (HEVC) costs $9.99/month. HEVC is helpful because it has the same quality but only requires 1/2 the bandwidth. Note: sidelineHD is not affiliated with Larix and does not receive this fee.
If your app was set-up for HEVC compression, you'll see this screen after the app updates:
To use Larix for free, turn off premium features. You'll stream as you did before. Change your mind? Re-activate HEVC by following these instructions.
Keeping HEVC allows you to get the same video quality at 1/2 of the bandwidth. It's helpful when you have poor coverage or congestion. Larix charges $9.99/month for premium features (we are not affiliated with Larix).
Larix is one-click configured by a URL, offers the HEVC video compression mode, and can save video to your phone’s memory.
Staring May 24, our Larix configuration URLs will use the free (non-premium) compression. You can upgrade to HEVC any time by following these instructions.
We have since developed the sidelineHD App, which uses HEVC compression . The Larix App is no longer needed.
