Smartphone's built-in microphone may not deliver the best sound quality and may create noise. Consider using an external microphone or headset for online broadcasting.
Bluetooth headsets can create noticeable delay and often produce poor sound quality. Use smartphone original headset or other wired one. USB noise canceling headsets from Plantronics, VXi and Logitech can provide much better sound and can be connected to the iPhone or iPad with iPhone USB3 Lightning Camera adapter

FAQ
- What router should I use for such amount of listeners
Recommended routers:
1. RUCKUS ZoneFlex, Asus AC routers, TPLink Archer C7, C9
For consumer routers BeONAIR recommends DD-WRT or OpenWRT firmwares. We have made tests and found that the same router flashed with DD-WRT or OpenWRT performs with BeONAIR much better than with original firmware. So, everyone owning DD-WRT compatible router ( check database here) is strongly advised to reflash the router... Also we do recommend to use Asus routers, as our experience shows that they usually work out of the box with original firmware. We do not support mobile routers(except custom modified - see facebook blog), even when they work - wifi range is rarely exceeds 5 meters and amount of connections are usually only 5. To feed 20 people consider buying from $300 model.. - I don't see any available audio stream. -
a) Check if You are on the same Wifi network as Speaker. If so - try to restart "Listen" service.
b) Check the router settings - it should support and has enabled UDP and Multicast - Audio delay is so noticable that I have an echo effect.
Restart "Listen" service. In common, delay mostly depends on router speed and presence of repeaters between speaker and You. - How to prevent incoming call from terminating my speech?
Don't pull out your SIM card. Just go to Settings -> Airplane Mode. Turn it ON. You will see that WiFi will also turn OFF. All You have to do is just turn WiFi back ON. You will have WiFi working while phone cellular radio will be OFF. - How to prevent fast battery draining?
Please keep the screen locked during the broadcast and reception. (iOS only) - How to prevent echo and self-induction effects?
Always use headset or headphones.
