Hello everyone, I'm wondering if it's feasible to stream live on YouTube using an iPad. My concern is that running both my PC for gaming and streaming simultaneously might slow things down. Even though the iPad has a M1 chip, I've played a lot and wondered if streaming could work alongside gaming without affecting performance. Streaming is just a hobby for me, and I want to enjoy it at its best without any lag. Could there be a way to combine Windows PC gaming with iPad streaming? Thanks!

Have you tried streaming on your gaming PC? Most good gaming rigs can handle streaming alongside games fairly well. You might be able to use a USB video port, but a slightly older desktop would offer a smoother experience for two PCs. Software designed for desktops tends to work better in these situations.

It seems unlikely this could work in a practical way. iPad likely lacks video input features required. The YouTube app should handle screen recording, similar to Android. However, unless you own an old computer, streaming might function. Streaming capabilities often depend on sufficient internet upload speeds.
