Live Now has recently introduced a groundbreaking feature tailored to enhance your live streaming experience on mobile devices. This innovative feature offers three distinct options: Fit, Stretch, and Fill. Today, we’ll delve into the functionality of the Fit option, a tool specifically designed to ensure your live stream video maintains an optimal aspect ratio across various platforms.

Whether you’re streaming games, sharing tutorials, or apps, the Fit option guarantees your content is presented in the best possible aspect ratio for live streaming platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok, etc.

Understanding the Fit Option

The Fit option helps you display your phone screen in either Landscape (16:9) or Portrait (9:16) aspect ratios, aligning with the requirements of your chosen live streaming platform, such as YouTube, Twitch (16:9), or TikTok (9:16). When your phone’s screen doesn’t match these ratios, the Fit option creates black borders on the top and bottom in Landscape mode or the left and right in Portrait mode to help your content displayed accurately.

Moreover, whether you’re streaming a game or app vertically (9:16) on 16:9 platforms, or vice versa, the Fit option ensures precise, full, and crisp screen display on each platform. Fit eliminates image distortion or partial cropping, preserving the integrity of your content across all live streaming platforms, especially suited for multistreaming.
