Best Game Live Streaming Apps for Android

If you enjoy playing casual games on your smartphone, you might be looking for good live-streaming apps for Android.

In this article, I’ll cover the best Android live-streaming apps so you can stream your favorite mobile game to the most popular game streaming services.

I’ve listed the best apps to check out, and even though the list is numbered, the apps aren’t ranked. Most apps have the same functionality, i.e., they let you stream, chat, and more.

So, in the end, it comes down to whether you like the user interface, how much you’re willing to pay if you’re looking for a particular function only on app offers, and so forth.

So here’s a list of the best live-streaming apps for Android phones to give you a quick overview.

1. Streamlabs

Streamlabs is a popular live-streaming app because of its simple user interface.

You can stream simultaneously on Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and other popular platforms (multistreaming). Also, you can add overlays, include guests, receive tips, and more.

You can stream your phone screen and your camera simultaneously, but if you want to take a break from gaming, you can also use the app to stream your other activities, meaning you can use it for vlogging fx.

All-in-all, it’s a great all-around streaming app for your Android phone. But it’s also available for Windows and console, so check it out.

2. Mobizen Live for YouTube

The next app is Mobizen, which also has a simple user interface and is simple to use.

The only downside is that you can only stream your videos directly to Youtube, so it isn’t as versatile as other apps on the list. But if YouTube is where your primary audience is, then this is a great app.

You can simultaneously stream your front camera and game in 1080p at 60 fps – that is, if your phone can handle it.

Also, you can interact with your viewers live.

3. Omlet Arcade

Omlet Arcade is another streaming platform for Android. It lets you stream to the most popular platforms, including Twitch and YouTube.

Also, with Omlet Connect, you can stream directly from your smartphone to PC.

With Omlet Plus, you can stream to two external platforms, create IRL streams, stream in 1080p FullHD, edit videos, get overlays, back up your Minecraft worlds, and more.

You can also join mobile eSports tournaments.

4. StreamElements

The StreamElements app will allow you to stream directly to Twitch or YouTube.

The app has an intuitive interface and lets you stream live gameplay videos, making it easy to talk to your subscribers or followers simultaneously.

You can also earn money, as fans can make donations to you.

5. Twitch

Did you know you can use Twitch as a live-streaming app?

Twitch is probably the most famous streaming platform for anything gaming related – for smartphones, PC, and consoles.

The downside is that Twitch doesn’t allow you to broadcast your camera and game simultaneously, which is strange since this is the number one streaming platform. So you’d expect the app to have all the bells and whistles.

Anyway, if you are fond of Twitch and want to stay within the platform and not show your face and screen at the same time, check it out.

Also, check out how to stream privately on Twitch.

6. Nimo TV for Streamer

Nimo TV for Streamer is a good option if you want to save cash, as it’s free – although it does offer in-app purchases!

Also, it’s a nice stripped-down streaming app that doesn’t support ads.

This creates good streaming and viewing experience, although it also means that you can’t earn money as a partner or affiliate like you can with Twitch.

I’d say it’s more focused on viewers – hence the “TV” – than on the streamer. 

7. Turnip

Turnip is a neat live-streaming app that allows you to stream in portrait and landscape mode to all the most popular streaming platforms.

All games are recorded and streamed in HD for free, which is nice for a change. Some of the other apps require you to pay to stream in 1080p.

Turnip will let you create communities and host watch parties, and much more. You can add custom overlays, thumbnails, and effects and interact with your fans in real-time.

It also has good voice chat, supports mic and in-game sounds simultaneously, animated overlays, and it lets you add a face cam. Plus, you can earn money by getting donations.

So check it out.

In Closing

I hope you found this overview of streaming apps for Android useful. As I said in the introduction, most share the same functionality, although some have limitations.

So it comes down to whether you like the user interface, how much you want to pay, and if you get a lag-free experience on your particular Android device.

So I recommend try-before-you-buy – and maybe try out two or three apps before you decide. Some will let you test it for free if you can live with a watermark or other limitations in the trial period.

Until next time, happy streaming.
