Stream Screen Capture

Stream a Screen Capture of Your App

This example creates a webview and broadcasts your apps screen.

Please note that streaming is paused if you move your app into background. To enable streaming from background, you will have to implement a broadcast extension.

override func viewDidLoad() {

    // Prepare webview that we are going to broadcast
    view.addSubview(webView)
    webView.anchor(top: view.topAnchor, leading: view.leadingAnchor, bottom: view.bottomAnchor, trailing: view.trailingAnchor)
    webView.navigationDelegate = self
    
    let url = URL(string: "https://www.video.io")!
    webView.load(URLRequest(url: url))
    webView.allowsBackForwardNavigationGestures = true
    
    let vkLive = VKLiveStream()
    
    // Set streaming mode to screen and audio capture
    vkLive.streamingMode = .appScreenCaptureAndAudio
    
    // Start Broadcasting
    vkLive.host(type: .lowLatency) { (stream, error) in
        guard let stream = stream else {
            print("There was an error starting your stream.")
            return
        }
        
        print("Stream started: \(stream.id)")
        print("Playback url: " + stream.getPlaybackUrl()?.absoluteString ?? "Error retrieving stream URL")
    }
