My trainer is moving back to Europe. I was wondering if there is anyway to live stream a lesson so I can get her responses live? I have a great headset that I can hook to my phone but the actual viewing is the question
Anyone,
Thanks

Do you have good signal or access to Wi-Fi at barn?
I’ve used my Pivo and phone to host a meeting on what ever video conferencing tool you prefer. Options are zoom, GoTo meeting, Google meet, and countless others. I just use one ear bud for safety or a clip on speaker.
Otherwise you need someone to point the phone at you for how ever long.
I am looking for a camera that can either have a very wide lens or can follow the motion?

Pivo uses your cell phone. It would be good to 1) check cell/wi-if at barn 2) buy Pivo and start practicing with it. Some find it easy, but for others there is a learning curve. Get good at using it before you take the next step to live stream.

Pivo does this - will automatically track and zoom in and out, and the person on the other end can take control and adjust it if they need to. I use it once or twice a month for a video lesson with my trainer when she is traveling. As long as you have a good cell signal works well enough. It uses your phone so you just connect a Bluetooth headset to your phone and good to go.

Is it easy to set up? My trainer will be international…
I’ve never been on the receiving end only the sending end but it’s pretty easy. You start a Pivo Meet and then send a link to invite the other person. They click on the link on their phone or laptop and they are connected to the video call.
There are lots of videos on YouTube on using Pivo you could check out.
A lot of people seem to put the Pivo in the middle of the arena but that seems problematic for dressage to me although I guess you stay closer to the camera. I always put it at A or C and it generally does fine. Sometimes loses me in a corner.
