They research that issue and plan the product specifically around how to solve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We, the team at LiveU, certainly had that in mind when we planned, designed and built LiveU Solo. We saw the need for a small, portable cellular bonding encoder that could easily reach online platforms reliably. The only problem? At the time we made those plans, Twitch wasn\u2019t even on our radar, and (like some of you still), we didn\u2019t know what \u201cIRL\u201d meant (at least in the context of streaming!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But starting from \u201cnot knowing each other\u201d didn\u2019t change our eagerness to work with the community of streamers who create content for Twitch (and similar platforms) once we were kindly introduced to the world of IRL streaming by one of its founders. And the wild ride since then has brought us many, many new friends and of course, hours of amazing content. Not just hours: months and years worth of content \u2013 certainly more content than a single viewer could ever consume!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we head home from TwitchCon 2023, the five-year mark since our first TwitchCon, we thought we would look back at all those who helped us learn about this community and hopefully express a bit about what it has meant to us. Plus, look at the tech that makes up the original IRL Backpack, and give you some important guidance if you want to give IRL streaming a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Twitchcon-2018.jpeg\" alt=\"HUNDREDS OF CONTENT CREATORS WILL STREAM LIVE FROM TWITCHCON 2018 USING LIVEU TECHNOLOGY\" class=\"wp-image-51260\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777;width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Twitchcon-2018.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Twitchcon-2018-300x169.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before We Begin: What is IRL Streaming?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>IRL or \u201cIn Real Life\u201d streaming, is basically just what it sounds like \u2013 streaming things from real life. If you are not deeply familiar with the Twitch platform, this might sound a bit strange \u2013 isn\u2019t all live streaming about streaming real life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we see now as Twitch started as Justin.tv &#8212; an early pioneer in the online live streaming landscape. Founded in 2007 by Justin Kan and Emmett Shear and a handful of others, the platform started as a project to broadcast Justin&#8217;s life 24\/7, an endeavor referred to as &#171;lifecasting.&#187; Justin wore a camera on his hat and streamed nearly every aspect of his day-to-day life, live on the internet. Over time, Justin.tv expanded to allow other users to create their own channels and stream their own content, making it a more extensive platform for live broadcasting. With time, gaming content became a primary traffic source for Justin.tv, eventually being split off into Twitch.tv in 2011. A few years later, Justin.tv was shut down to focus efforts on Twitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitch has grown over the years into a platform largely focused on the world of video games and the personalities that play them. Content creators there are often streaming themselves playing games by themselves or with others, and if you check out the homepage, more than likely the first content you see will be a game. Justin.tv and Twitch pioneered distinctive features in the live streaming realm that set them apart in the industry. While other platforms had introduced these concepts, Twitch was the first to master them. A prime example is the chat feature, which allowed content creators to do more than simply speak to a camera during live broadcasts; it enabled them to interact directly with their community. Twitch\u2019s emphasis on chat as a primary mode of interaction with creators swiftly became one of its signature triumphs. In recent years, monetization tools like Subs, Donations &amp; Ad-based revenue made Twitch a mainstay for the live content creator. Anxious to use these tools to create a new experience for viewers, but also anxious to provide content other than games, the IRL Streamer was reborn \u2013 using the Twitch platform and its core concepts of live and interactivity, but for content other than gaming. Indeed, the resurgence of IRL streaming on Twitch reflects its historical roots, harking back to the platform&#8217;s origin as Justin.tv<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gunrun, A pioneer in the IRL space and founder of the \u201cGunrun backpack\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-292303\" style=\"width:380px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pictured is UnlimitedIRL founder Gunrun with the IRL Backpack v7<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>LiveU has had a long history in mobile broadcasting &#8212;&nbsp; founded in 2006 &#8212; primarily serving customers in Sports and Broadcast markets. Our journey with the creator first \u201cIRL Streaming\u201d style of content&nbsp; began in 2018 when Justin Ignacio, popularly known as Gunrun (@theGunrun on Twitch\/Twitter), then a Twitch employee, began experimenting with the LiveU Solo as an encoding solution and the \u201cnucleus\u201d to what would become the \u2018Gunrun\u2019 IRL Backpack &#8212; a solution combining hardware and cloud tools to become the defacto method to accomplish high-quality mobile IRL streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long hours of working with Justin ensued, including testing all around the world, from the Twitch building in San Francisco to the streets of Tokyo. At the time, the Solo was limited to two cellular 4G modems (Solo PRO can now handle 4!), and Justin pioneered the technique of using two additional MiFi-style devices to add even more connections \u2013 using the LAN and WiFi capability of the Solo \u2013 which allowed for more bandwidth, greater reliability, and redundancy wherever the content took the IRL Streamer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UnlimitedIRL, Our Partner<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1017\" height=\"1526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture3-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-292375\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6669921875;width:379px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture3-edited.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture3-edited-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture3-edited-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture3-edited-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1017px) 100vw, 1017px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pictured is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/harrisheller\">@HarrisHeller<\/a> trying the IRL Backpack v7 out at TwitchCon 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Following his departure from Twitch, Justin embarked on several new ventures, one of which was co-founding UnlimitedIRL alongside Taylor Webb, a friend and collaborator who had previously worked with him on the Gunrun backpack project.

We met content creators with a focus on travel streaming (sometimes called travel vlogging), fishing, playing chess, tabletop gaming, roleplaying (like Dungeons and Dragons), and even beekeeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would go on to attend TwitchCon 2019 and the very first TwitchCon EU held in Berlin, before the COVID pandemic put a pause on in-person tradeshows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-292351\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.499267935578331;width:686px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.liveu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture4.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pictured left to right is IRLToolkit\u2019s Kyle Manning (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tt2468\">tt2468<\/a>), UnlimitedIRL\u2019s Joel Wilcox (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/xocliw\">Xocliw<\/a>), Twitch Rival\u2019s Alex Chiricosta (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RagingCherry\">RagingCherry<\/a>), UnlimitedIRL COO Taylor Webb (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/taylorwebbirl\">SeaOtter<\/a>) and LiveU CTO Dan Pisarski (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/danpisarski\">@danpisarski<\/a>) at the IRL Party in Las Vegas at TwitchCon 2023.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>TwitchCon 2023 has been an incredible sight to witness &#8212;
