How Does Mevo Start Communicate With My
Mobile Device?
In order for the Mevo App to detect a nearby Mevo Camera, you must have Bluetooth & Wifi enabled on
your mobile device.
If you launch the Mevo app but do not have Bluetooth enabled, the app will prompt you to turn it on.
Tap Settings.
You will be redirected to the Bluetooth settings menu. Toggle the switch to On. It will take a brief moment to
turn on.
Once you have Bluetooth turned on, go back to the Mevo app and you can proceed with pairing the app to
your camera

What is the Difference Between "Mevo Hotspot"
and Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network?
Mevo Start supports a variety of ways of connecting to the internet so that you can go live from your
event. We understand that some of the terms and methods may be confusing, so we break it down for
you here.
Mevo Hotspot refers to Mevo Start's ability to create a wireless access point to which your mobile
device can connect via its Wi-Fi settings. This is a similar concept as connecting your phone to a
wireless device via Bluetooth, but it's more reliable.
Connect to Wi-Fi means you configure your Mevo Start to connect to the internet via a local Wi-Fi
network. When using this connection type, streaming would occur via the Wi-Fi network and not your
mobile device's data plan.

Can I Switch Between Multiple Mevo Start Cameras?
The Mevo app currently supports controlling only one Mevo camera at a time.
If you would like the ability to switch between multiple Mevo cameras, you can integrate Mevo Start as
a remote camera source in the Livestream Studio production switcher. This allows you to wirelessly
connect your Mevo to Livestream Studio, and thus gives you the ability to seamlessly switch between
multiple cameras during one event.
You can learn more about Livestream Studio here.
