Livestreaming has become incredibly popular in recent years. People of all kinds are sharing their talents for video games, makeup, cooking, animal training, and the ever-popular battle royale, Fortnite.

The Roland GO:LIVECAST Smartphone Streaming Studio is a simple and affordable way to rival the pros and take your stream to the next level.
Plug 'n' play simplicity
The GO:LIVECAST is super simple to use. Just plug in your smartphone, connect your headphones, and you're ready to go! If you don't have any external gear, you can still stream, thanks to the built-in mic that delivers high-quality audio with optional reverb. For more impressive audio, plug in a mic, guitar, or synth into the combination TRS/XLR input. The GO:LIVECAST has an intuitive control layout. With a single touch, you can start your broadcast, play music, launch sound effects, and more. The two-volume knobs and a mic-mute button give you easy control over the mic and media levels.
Compatible with major streaming platforms
When they designed the GO:LIVECAST, Roland made sure that all streamers could use it on their favorite streaming platform. No matter where you stream, you can use the Roland GO:LIVECAST because it's compatible with Twitch, Facebook Live, YouTube, and other major platforms. If you use multiple platforms, the GO:LIVECAST app has it handled. The app logs directly into all of your streaming accounts, so when it's time to go live, you just have to pick a platform to launch the stream. A helpful scrolling window shows your chat in the app in real-time.
Create your own library of visuals, sound effects, and more
The GO:LIVECAST is a complete pro-production studio for streaming with your smartphone or tablet. As such, you need to be able to launch your effects, emotes, sound bytes, and more. The interface includes easy-to-use tools that add some serious production value to your streams. The GO:LIVECAST offers pre-installed effects that you can supplement with your own music, photos, and videos. You can also create custom titles and texts that your audience will love.
Get the most out of your smartphone camera
The GO:LIVECAST doesn't just make it easy to manage your stream, it also optimizes your smartphone's camera. When you set up your phone or tablet for your stream, the GO:LIVECAST allows you to select the front or rear camera within the app. If you don't like the lighting or need to soften how you look, you can add one of the pre-loaded skin filters. The interface automatically adjusts your stream to portrait or landscape mode, depending on the positioning of your device, while in-camera mirroring makes sure that your audience sees the correct left/right perspective. Think you'll need even more visual variation? You're in luck, the GO:LIVECAST lets you add a second smartphone camera via Wi-Fi. To switch views, simply hit the camera switch button on your interface.
