How to live stream when traveling without internet
If you’re full of wanderlust — or even a travel vlogger — you’ve probably considered or experienced first hand the trouble of streaming live while on the road. Whether you’re simply a neighborhood away from home or halfway around the world, here’s how you can guarantee a solid, dependable live stream with poor or no internet connectivity.
“I have a thriving lifestyle live stream. Unfortunately, when I’m on the road, all that comes to a screeching halt — including the ad and affiliate revenue. I would love to maintain my live video while I travel, but work takes me to rural areas where dependable internet is unheard of.”
Fortunately, when you’re on location somewhere exotic or rugged, your live streams can continue working for you — no lost revenue, no lost momentum, no disappointed viewers.
With one simple tool, you can schedule pre-recorded videos to publish automatically as live video on all your channels. Whether for a day, week, month or more, Restream Scheduler will maintain your live video calendar, guaranteeing that all your content streams live on time.
Using Restream Scheduler to publish live video
Restream’s Scheduler is easy-to-use. At a high level, Scheduler allows you to upload your polished, pre-recorded videos to a calendar. You can set the date and time for stream publication as well as the platform you want to stream to. From there, Restream’s technology takes over and your videos will publish as live video at the designated place and time.
“I work in the field as a travel vlogger. People love unique, remote locations abroad; however, these places rarely are serviced by good internet connectivity. I looked at expensive hardware and data plans to solve my connection issues, but then I found Scheduler. I was just like: ‘Yes. Exactly this. I’ll save so much money.’
Now, I shoot my footage, head to a café, then — over a cup of cappuccino — upload and schedule my streams. I am building my live stream audiences and exploring at the same time!”
