Stream GoPro videos to PC
To be able to stream videos from your GoPro on your PC, you need a WiFi-enabled action cam model. If you have an HD Hero or an HD Hero2, you can simply equip it with a WiFi Bacpac. Here's what you need to do to stream the videos from your GoPro to your PC:
- Turn on your GoPro.
- Activate your camera's WiFi. There are two ways to do this: Either you switch it on directly using a built-in button with the wireless symbol on the camera side or you activate it in the GoPro menu under the "Wireless Controls" option.
- Connect your GoPro to your PC via WiFi. If the connection is successful, you will receive the information that you no longer have Internet access.
- Open your internet browser and enter the query code: 10.5.5.9:8080 in the address bar. You should note that not all browsers support a connection. In the test, a connection was established with the Google Chrome internet browser.
- Select the "Videos" folder. Now just click on the file you want to play. Via the "Live" order you can use your GoPro as a webcam and thus start a live stream.
Further useful information and setting options for your GoPro can be found in the operating instructions for the Hero2 or Hero3. You can find out which app you can use to control your GoPro using a smartphone. In another practical tip, we will introduce you to the best accessories for the action cam.
