Coming from IRL Pro

Your settings move across in one paste, and your bonding keeps working. Here is exactly what carries over and what to set up fresh.

IRL Pro built the audience for phone based IRL streaming on Android, and plenty of people are still happily using it. Its last Play update was September 2024, so if you have been looking for something under active development, this page is for you. LOLS IRL is on Google Play, free, and shipping updates regularly.

You do not have to uninstall anything to try it. The two apps are separate installs with separate settings, so you can keep IRL Pro exactly as it is while you test.

The quick part: import your setup from a link

IRL Pro and Larix Broadcaster both export their settings as a larix:// link. LOLS IRL reads that link directly, so your encoder settings and your destinations arrive without you retyping a single host, port or stream id.

Export from IRL Pro or Larix. In its settings, use the export or share option that produces a settings link. It starts with larix://set/v1?. Send it to yourself, or copy it straight to the clipboard if both apps are on the same phone.
Paste it into LOLS IRL. Open Settings, tap Import from IRL Pro, paste the link and confirm. The app tells you how many destinations it added.
Check, then switch on. Imported destinations arrive switched off on purpose, so nothing goes live before you have looked at it. Open each one, confirm the details are what you expect, enable the ones you want and go live.

What carries over

Setting	Imported	What to know
Resolution	Yes	Clamped to what your phone can actually encode, which the app probes and shows you.
Video codec	Yes	H.264 and HEVC.
Bitrate	Yes	Your figure becomes the ceiling. Adaptive bitrate works below it and climbs back when the connection allows.
Keyframe interval	Yes	Carried across as set.
SRT destinations	Yes	Host, port, stream id, passphrase and AES key length, plus latency.
SRT latency	Yes	Kept, and clamped to a sane range. The app shows the round trip it measures so you can judge the number.
RTMP and RTMPS destinations	Yes	The URL comes across and RTMPS is detected from it. Check the stream key on each one before going live.
Destination names	Yes	So you can tell them apart straight away in the list.
Bonded destination	Set up fresh	Bonding services are not interchangeable. Takes about a minute: see below.
Scenes and overlays	Set up fresh	Different scene model, composited on the GPU rather than layered as views.

A malformed or partial link never breaks the import: whatever the app can read, it takes, and it guesses at nothing.

Setting up bonding here

Bonding needs a receiver at the far end that speaks BELABOX compatible srtla, and every app brings its own. Yours will be one of these two, and the app treats them the same:

A free LOLS Cloud relay. Relays in the UK, Singapore and Australia, no account and no card, with a fair use allowance of 20 hours a month. Get a key, tap your nearest region in the SRTLA editor and the host and port fill themselves in. See using the free relays.
Your own receiver. If you already run srtla_rec, or a BELABOX server, point the app at it and nothing else changes. See self-hosting an SRTLA receiver.

Either way, the whole setup takes about five minutes end to end: bonding in five minutes is the walkthrough.

What feels different

Bonding is resilience, not extra bitrate. Two links do not add up to a bigger pipe here or anywhere else. Set your bitrate to what one good link can carry, and the second link is what keeps you live when the first one dies. There is a longer answer in the FAQ.
Your receiver is your choice. Free relays or your own box, the same app, the same settings screen, no different tier.
Everything is composited on the GPU. Text, images, browser sources and live chat are drawn into the video itself, so overlays land in the recording and at every destination identically.
Twitch and Kick chat are built in. Reading needs no login. On Twitch you get 7TV, BTTV and FFZ emotes and real badge icons.
Two cameras at once. Front and rear together as picture in picture, no external hardware.
Android 12 or newer. That is the floor, and it is what lets the app use the modern thermal and performance APIs that keep a long stream alive.

Keep both installed while you test. Import your setup, run a short stream on bonding, kill Wi-Fi on purpose and watch what happens. That is the test that tells you whether to move across, and it takes ten minutes.
