Optimal Xiaomi Streaming Settings

Using Xiaomi Camera in Streaming Apps

• Xiaomi's Dual View mode (front + rear simultaneously) works in some streaming apps.
• Use Game Turbo if streaming gameplay — it prioritises network bandwidth for streaming.
• Reduce screen brightness during long streams to save battery.

Tip: Place your Xiaomi phone on a tripod using the Photography Kit Grip or any standard phone tripod mount for stable framing during live streams.
