My phone says it is getting hot

What to do when your phone warms up during a stream, and how to prevent it.

Your phone loves sports. It does not love direct sun.

Streaming on its own isn't the problem. In our indoor tests, phones stayed cool. On a hot day in direct sun, any phone can warm up, streaming or not.

The app is already on it: when your phone heats up, Reeplayer lowers the stream quality a little to keep you live, then turns it back up when things settle.

Help it out

  • Keep it in the shade. An umbrella or sun shade works wonders.

  • Lose the case on scorching days, so the phone can breathe.

  • If your phone shows its own heat warning, give it shade and a few minutes to cool off.
