DJI Live Bridge

Live stream your DJI Osmo camera to Instagram, TikTok and more

DJI Live Bridge is not only for drones. DJI's action and gimbal cameras stream over RTMP from the DJI Mimo app — exactly the kind of stream the app receives. Point an Osmo Action, Osmo Pocket or Osmo 360 at DJI Live Bridge and it goes to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Twitch or Kick, several at once, in vertical or horizontal format — or into Zoom and OBS as a wireless webcam.

In short

  • DJI Mimo (version 1.2.20 or later) offers RTMP livestreaming on the Osmo Action, Osmo Pocket and Osmo 360 series.
  • The camera joins a Wi-Fi network itself and pushes RTMP; put it on the same network as the computer running DJI Live Bridge.
  • DJI Mimo's own platforms are Facebook, YouTube and RTMP — Instagram and TikTok are reached through DJI Live Bridge.
  • DJI lists 480p, 720p and 1080p at up to 6 Mbps; choose 1080p 6 Mbps when the Wi-Fi allows it.
  • The same stream can become a wireless webcam for TikTok LIVE Studio, OBS, Zoom or Meet.
