Need some video streaming advice

I am looking for some advice for an upcoming performance. I would like to feed the live stream of an iPhone6/GoPro/Drone to my Mac that is connected to the professional PA system of a conference center. Ideally wireless, aka my iPhone/GoPro/Drone etc. should not be wired to my Mac or another PA system. All indoors.

The person holding/operating the iPhone/GoPro/Drone (most likely myself) would walk around on stage and/or in the audience around a number of props and the video images should be fed in real-time to the main conference screen, ideally overlapping an existing PowerPoint/Keynote presentation. Audio from the video feed is not important/relevant. The audio soundscape comes from different software on my Mac.

How to achieve this with minimal hocus-pocus?

Many thx in advance

Warm regards

    • Hi Ed! Thx for reconnecting. The Wifi at the venue is ok, but I would not call it “robust”. Why? Do you know something that would work with the venue Wifi? Warm regards, Petervan

  1. Thx for all the feedback.

    I probably used the wrong terminology. What I was looking for was just mirroring my iPhone/GoPro on my Mac

    For GoPro, looks like using VLC Player will do the trick. Here is another tutorial for Mac by a very young dude 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peUG3HxiFR8

    For iPhone, using AirPlay seems what I need. Several solutions here http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/ and https://www.airserver.com/Mac but https://www.apowersoft.com/ come for free with basic features. But Reflector seems more stable

    I also found a great (non-free) tool to combine different audio sources into one virtual audio device. The tool is called Loopback from Rogue Amoeba: https://www.rogueamoeba.com/loopback/ Should have been in my toolbox many years ago.

    Cheers,
