How to Play and Stream Games on Bigo Live

So, you want to stream games on Bigo Live. It sounds simple, but when you try to figure it out, you find conflicting advice. One guide says you need a PC, another says to just use your phone, and a third talks about in-app games you've never seen before. It's confusing and frankly, a bit frustrating.

Here's the secret: they're all correct. Bigo actually offers three totally different ways to game on its platform, and each one is designed for a specific purpose. Forget the confusion. We've broken down all three methods into simple, step-by-step instructions. Let’s figure out which one is right for you and get you live.

Method 1: Stream Any Game Directly From Your Phone

This is the easiest and most direct way to stream. It's perfect for broadcasting your favorite mobile games like Call of Duty: Mobile or Mobile Legends on the go.

Install Your Game First Before you even open Bigo, make sure the game you want to stream is already downloaded and installed on your phone.

Open Bigo and Find "Game Live" Tap the video icon at the bottom-center of the Bigo app. At the bottom of the next screen, you’ll see options like "Live" and "Multi-guest". Swipe over until you find Game Live.

Select Your Game Tap the "Select a game" button. Bigo will show you a list of games installed on your device. Choose the one you want to stream.

Add a Title Give your stream a catchy title like "Let's Play a Game!" or "Road to Victory."

Go Live Hit the "Go Live" button. Your phone will ask for permission to display Bigo over other apps. Grant this permission.

Switch to Your Game Now, simply exit the Bigo app (don't close it!) and open the game you selected. You'll see a small Bigo icon on your screen, which confirms you are live. Everything you do on your screen is now being broadcast to your Bigo audience.
