# RoomCast Go

> RoomCast Go is an iPhone app that broadcasts live sound from the iPhone over local Wi-Fi. Listeners on the same Wi-Fi (or the iPhone's Personal Hotspot) scan a QR code or type a link and listen in their phone's browser. RoomCast Go is coming soon to the App Store; it is not available yet.

- Platform: iPhone with iOS 17 or later.
- Cost: free, with an optional Pro upgrade.
- Status: coming soon to the App Store.
- Sound sources: the iPhone's built-in microphone, a wired headset, or a USB sound card or line-in (for example from a mixer or DJ desk). RoomCast Go cannot capture audio playing in other apps such as Spotify or Apple Music.
- Listeners: a phone browser on the same Wi-Fi or Personal Hotspot. The listening page is served by the iPhone.
- Delay: usually around half a second, even on busy Wi-Fi.
- Listener count: depends on the Wi-Fi network; test with a realistic number of phones.
- Features: broadcast title shown to listeners; mono or stereo; 96 kbps Music quality option; Live Activity and Dynamic Island while live; alerts and a new QR code when the Wi-Fi drops or the iPhone's address changes.
- Permissions: microphone, local network, and Location (iOS requires Location to read the Wi-Fi name; the app does not track location).
- Relationship to RoomCast for Mac: separate apps that do not connect to each other. RoomCast for Mac is at https://roomcast.channel/.
