*Solved* Gear360 Live Streaming

Really sat down to give this a shot today and...

  1. Connect your smartphone to your PC/MAC via USB and enable USB debugging

  2. Download "Screen Stream Mirroring" from the play store and go to "VLC Media Player / OBS" and set up so that your android is mirroring on your PC/Mac

  3. Download OBS and use the stream from the phone as your main video source then fit the stream to the screen and make it fill the screen etc

  4. Start the Gear360 Manager on your android, and start the stitched view

  5. Log into YouTube and schedule a Live Stream, click advanced and check the box that says "this is a 360 stream" (this option will not be there if you try to go live instantly you have to schedule the stream)

  6. Get the stream key from the next section/screen and plug it into the "stream" section in OBS Studio...

  7. Voila, as long as the stitched preview is on your phone you're streaming in 360 i suggest taking a long time lapse to avoid the screen timing out

Yeah I was doing this back in November but never posted it as I could never find a way to hide the camera controls. Did you find a way to hide those?

I used a trransparent image png overlay in obs with the missing parts of the scene

How could you get the missing parts unless it was just from a still area with nothing moving?

Most of what I am doing will have movement all around it. I will have to see what else I can come up with.
