Could you add a feature to stream with the screen turned off? It should save a lot energy.

Apple does not allow streaming in background, so it will disconnect. Not much to do about it. Screen does not use as much power as you think. Networking and widgets use way more. That said, I think iOS has some feature built in to make screen black/off. Not sure how. Someone in Discord knows.

From Xcode:

I've only tested Bluetooth mic, but I think wired works as well.

Maybe this could be a solution

how can I choose the mic? I only see the mics from the iphone? Or will it appear if I connect it?
