Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Streamhand.
You can stream directly from Meta Ray-Ban glasses to one destination for free using the app.
Streaming to multiple destinations requires a paid Streamhand plan.
No watermarks are added to your broadcasts.
The Meta Ray-Ban integration is currently in beta due to Meta's platform restrictions. According to Meta, these limitations are expected to change within 2026.
Meta does not yet allow apps using Ray-Ban Meta glasses to be distributed publicly on the App Store, so the iOS beta is available through TestFlight. The app is fully functional through TestFlight, including iPhone camera streaming and supported Ray-Ban Meta glasses streaming.
Streamhand supports both RTMP and SRT ingest. You can stream from any source that outputs RTMP or SRT, including OBS Studio, Streamlabs, and hardware encoders.
You can stream to every major platform, including YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, X (Twitter), Facebook, Kick, and any custom RTMP or SRT destination.
Meta Ray-Ban glasses stream in the HEVC video format. Some platforms accept HEVC directly (YouTube and TikTok), so the mobile app can publish to them without any conversion. Others destinations (Twitch, X, Kick, Facebook) don't accept HEVC, so streaming to them directly from the glasses isn't possible.
A paid Streamhand plan solves this by routing your stream through our servers and transcoding it to H.264, making your glasses compatible with every major platform.
The maximum supported bitrate is 12,000 kbps.
You can stream to up to 6 destinations simultaneously within a single broadcast.
