FAQ: Your Questions Answered!

❓Can I apply makeup filters while live?

❓Does Picture-in-Picture mode affect video quality?

-Not at all. Your audience continues seeing the full stream from your camera with no downgrade.

❓Can I read messages while applying filters?

-You’ll need to toggle between PiP mode and Tango Web. We recommend setting filters first, then managing chat.

❓Can I stream in landscape mode?

-Currently, BoarCast supports portrait mode only for optimal layout on Tango.

❓What happens if my phone rings or I switch apps?

-If BoarCast is fully closed, your stream ends; if minimized briefly, PiP continues. Try to avoid interruptions.

❓Where can I see chat and gifts?

-Minimize BoarCast and return to your browser with Tango Web open.

❓Can I upgrade to Premium or 1-1 mode?

-Yes, this action is done in the Tango Web browser.

❓How do I invite to a Live Party or Battle?

-Tap the Invite button on your BoarCast overlay.

❓Where do I see my co-host or battle opponent?

-Maximize BoarCast to full screen (exit PiP).

-No! Picture-in-Picture mode lets it run in the corner while you manage chat.

Pro Tips

  1. Always allow camera & mic access when prompted
