Google is rolling out a cool new feature for its Pixel devices that makes it incredibly easy to elevate your livestreams with multiple camera angles. The feature lets you connect your phone to other Pixel phones or action cameras and switch between their feeds in real time, giving your stream a more professional look.
The new multi-cam streaming feature is rolling out to the Pixel 9 series devices with the March 2025 Pixel Drop. You can use it to connect to another Pixel phone or GoPro action cam over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and add more video feeds to your livestream. Once connected, the feature displays the connected devices in a pill-shaped bar on the livestream dashboard, and you can switch between the available video feeds with just a tap.
Although the connected cameras feature is only available on Google’s latest flagships, it supports Pixel 6 and newer devices for secondary video feeds. GoPro HERO 10 Black and newer models are also supported. It works in all popular live-streaming apps, including Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat.
The March 2025 Pixel Drop brings a couple of other useful features to Pixel devices, including improvements for the Pixel Studio and Screenshots apps, AI-powered scam protection, the ability to share your location with others in the Find My Device app, and Satellite SOS support for more US users.
