For more than a decade, live creators have been using technology to bring audiences closer to the action. From desktop broadcasting software to mobile streaming and AI-powered production, creators have worked to reduce friction and create a more engaging experience for audiences. Today, Streamlabs is excited to introduce the next evolution, enabling IRL creators to go live hands-free from their AI glasses from Meta.
Logitech and Streamlabs have been long-standing partners of Meta, collaborating on multiple projects over the last decade. Working with Streamlabs and Meta's new SDK for wearable devices is another example of how we are continuing to push boundaries of human potential.
We’re sharing an early look at something we’re building that puts IRL creators at the center of innovation. Streamlabs has received early access to the Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit for AI glasses, enabling us to bring livestreaming directly from the glasses’ camera into the Streamlabs Mobile app, complete with your overlays, alerts, widgets, and even multistreaming layered on top.
“Over the past year, IRL streaming has seen explosive growth. On Twitch, hours watched surged by 133% to more than 280 million, and broadcast hours nearly doubled,” said Ashray Urs, Head of Streamlabs. “Creators want IRL streaming to feel as natural as possible. With early access to Meta Weables Device Access Toolkit, we’re building toward a future where sharing your perspective is as easy as putting on glasses and pressing go live.”
What this enables
- Go live from your glasses: Connect your AI glasses to Streamlabs Mobile and send a first-person video feed straight into the app so you can go live to your usual platforms.
- Keep your Streamlabs setup on the go: Apply your existing overlays and alerts, see chat, and manage widgets from the Streamlabs mobile app while broadcasting the feed from your glasses. Multistreaming is supported for Streamlabs Ultra subscribers.
