Wirelessly Stream GoPro Hero 7/8/9 to OBS Studio, VLC, Computers, etc.

Why use a capture card when you can wirelessly stream your GoPro Hero 7/8 to your computer using an RTMP server. MonaServer is a FREE open source program that creates a RTMP service that your GoPro can connect to and stream the live video. While there is a little delay for the footage to arrive, a lot of possibilities are here.

If you get an error message saying your rtmp address is incorrect, add “/live” to the end of the address. (Without the quotation marks)

You can also try adding just the “/“ to the end of your rtmp address if you get an invalid address error. (Without the quotation marks)

If you have problems connecting to MonaServer, your firewall (Windows Defender or alternative) may be preventing MonaServer from Accessing Port 1935 on your computer. (See Below for more details)

If VLC Video Source isn't available in OBS, you can try adding Media Source. In the Media Source settings, uncheck the "Local File" box and in the Input section, add your RTMP address there. I haven't really used option, so can't speak further on the other settings. I've heard that using the Media Source Option can help if you are having freezing issues using the VLC option.

If you have problem connecting to your computer & use an iPhone, Go to Settings on your iPhone and look for the GoPro App settings, Make sure "Local Network" is turned ON so your phone can look for your computer

Another user, shooflypieordie, posted this and you may find it useful. Basically it says your firewall, (Windows Defender, etc) may prevent MonaServer from accessing Port 1935 on your computer.

1) MonaServer likely needs to be given permission to communicate over PUBLIC networks rather than just private. If you don't do this your GoPro will be unable to stream to that port if you're on public wifi.

2) I needed to make sure port 1935 was open and not blocked by windows defender or another antivirus.

3) Although likely not necessary, I ended up specifying my rtmp server as "rtmp://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS:1935" which seemed to be more stable than leaving the port off the end.
