IRL (in real life) streaming is a term used to refer to any kind of live streaming that is not gaming. Nowadays, however, people typically use the term to refer to outdoor live streaming.
To do an IRL stream, at the minimum you typically need:
- Video camera and microphone to capture the audio/video footage,
- Audio/video encoder to convert and compress the captured footage to be transmitted for delivery,
- Video streaming platform to receive the encoded footage and further process it for delivery to the viewers, and
- Internet connection as the medium to transmit the footage to the streaming platform.
Most modern smartphones have a built-in video camera and sufficient processing power to do the necessary encoding process. This means all you need to start IRL streaming are simply a decent smartphone with the appropriate app installed, a reliable mobile internet connection (with sufficient data quota), and an online live streaming platform.
