FAQ: Your Questions Answered!

❓Can I upgrade to Premium or switch to 1-on-1 while streaming like this?

-Yes, but only from your Web device.

❓Where should I handle chats, gifts, and guest invites?

-All of that is done from Tango Web. BoarCast is only your video/audio feed.

❓Can I stream from Android using this flow?

-Yes! Use the Tango Android app + BoarCast in the same way. The QR process is the same.

❓What if my BoarCast app disconnects?

-You can rescan the QR code anytime to reconnect. Your stream stays live if the Web session is still active.

❓Can I use filters, flash, or switch cameras in BoarCast?

-Not yet - the current version uses your default camera. Stay tuned - more Enhancements are on the way.

❓Can I start the stream from BoarCast instead of Web?

-No - BoarCast only works as a second device. Always start from Web first.

❓Can I stream in Premium mode or 1-on-1 from BoarCast?

-Yes - just activate Premium or 1-on-1 from Web, and BoarCast will follow.

You’re Ready to Stream!
