Strea.ma is optimised for mobile devices, so you don’t need to be sitting at a computer to get started.
To show Strea.ma on a big screen, read ‘How do I show Strea.ma on a big screen?’ (below).
If you’re using Strea.ma for an event, make sure you try Strea.ma out on the screen or projector you’ll be using – before the event starts!
No matter your budget or technical expertise, it’s easy to show Strea.ma on a big screen or projector. Strea.ma is supported on a range of display options, ranging from full-fledged digital signage solutions to smart TVs to the good old ‘plug your laptop into your TV’ approach!
- For dedicated digital signage solutions, we recommend TruDigital and ScreenCloud. These systems are cloud-based, feature-rich, very cost-effective, and feature Strea.ma in their app stores.
- There are a number of small devices that turn any HDMI display into a smart TV. We recommend Airtame (http://www.airtame.com). It’s powerful enough to run Strea.ma, it saves you from needing to plug a computer into the display, and you can stream the display from your computer or mobile device.
- WARNING: Some devices (e.g. Chromecast) scale the display resolution down to 720p when you mirror your device, so Strea.ma will revert to its mobile-optimised view. This might not look so great on a big screen.
- If you have a smart TV with a built-in web browser, you can show Strea.ma directly on the TV.
- If you have a ‘dumb’ display, the easiest way is to plug your computer into your display with a VGA or HDMI cable.
Then you just need to navigate to your stream’s public URL in your device’s web browser. Simple!

We support all modern smartphones and tablets including iOS, Android, and Windows Phone devices.
We always use best practices to meet industry standards for web development and we do our best to ensure that Strea.ma will be functional on all mainstream platforms. However, because of the increasingly large number of web accessible devices available, we cannot guarantee that Strea.ma will look identical from one device to another, and the user experience of Strea.ma may change to best fit the viewing platform.
As a standard practice, we support the current and previous major releases of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on a rolling basis. Each time a new version is released, we’ll begin supporting that version and stop supporting the third-oldest version.
We support Internet Explorer 11 but we do not support any previous versions of Internet Explorer. Microsoft has ended support of their older browsers on any platform newer than Windows 7. If you require legacy Microsoft support, please let us know.
