Getting Started With TrovoCast

This video provides a guide on how to get started with TrovoCast to stream mobile gameplay from a phone or tablet to a computer (0:16).

Here's a summary of the steps and key information:

• What is Trovo? Trovo is a streaming platform similar to Facebook Gaming, Twitch, YouTube Live, and Glimesh (0:00-0:10).

• TrovoCast Purpose: It allows users to bring mobile gameplay from their device to their stream by connecting via Wi-Fi or USB to their computer and then to OBS (0:13-0:33).

• Getting Started:

  1. Download the Trovo App: Download the Trovo app from your app store (iOS or Android) as it integrates all necessary features (0:46-1:10).

  2. Download TrovoCast Software: From the Trovo live FAQs support page, download the TrovoCast software to your computer (1:14-1:24).

  3. Extract and Run: Extract the downloaded 7-zip file and create a shortcut of the executable file to your desktop. Ensure it's set to "run as administrator" for proper functionality (1:31-2:21).

• Connecting Your Device:

  • USB Connection: This method is recommended for its reliability and low latency (2:45-3:04, 3:34-3:48). The video demonstrates how it instantly recognizes and mirrors the phone's display with almost zero latency (3:13-3:32).

  • Wi-Fi Connection: This is also an option, requiring both your computer and phone to be on the same Wi-Fi network (4:41-4:55). Within the Trovo app, you can select "Cast to PC" to initiate the connection (5:02-5:47).

• Integrating with OBS: To add TrovoCast to OBS, add a "Window Capture" source in your scene and select "Trovocast" from the available windows (6:06-6:41).

• Current State: TrovoCast is currently in beta, and changes are ongoing, especially concerning audio input on Android devices where both microphone and system audio are captured (7:09-7:33).
