Add Bani Captions to Streamlabs on iOS
Live Stream Bani Captions From an iPhone With Shabad OS + Streamlabs
Understand how to use Streamlabs with Shabad OS
This only works on the iOS version of Streamlabs until the developers fix an issue requiring "https" links on their Android app. A laptop or desktop is required to run the Shabad OS Presenter app. Both the iPhone and the laptop/desktop running Shabad OS must be able to communicate with each other on the same network.
Add a URL layer to the Streamlabs Editor
Even though the hint text in Streamlabs mentions https, be sure to use http instead. For example, if the Overlay URL is 192.168.1.200:1699/overlay, then use http://192.168.1.200:1699/overlay for Streamlabs. Learn more about finding the Overlay URL in Shabad OS.

Resize the layer in Streamlabs
Here are some tips for resizing the layer in Streamlabs.
- Move the layer by tapping and dragging the center of the layer.
- Resize the layer in the Streamlabs Editor by tapping and dragging either the squares in the corners or the lines on each side of the layer.
- An easy way to full screen a layer is to move the layer to the bottom left and then use the top right corner to resize it all the way to the top right.
- When switching from landscape to portrait mode, it is possible to reset all the layers to their original size by tapping Reset in the top right corner. If the Reset button is being covered by the Overlay layer, it might be easier to simply delete and recreate the Overlay layer.
- Play with different heights to control the font size. Decreasing the height of the Shabad OS Overlay will make the font sizes smaller. This is especially helpful for portrait mode.
