I recently did a alive stream on YouTube with my Google pixel and it turns out , you may relate a USB mic like Blue Yeti with your Android smartphone . It only 30 sec . However , you ’ll have to buy a connector like – USB - to - eccentric ascorbic acid adapterorOTG cable . you could get them for $ 3-$5 on Amazon .
So , here is how to do it .
1 . Go to Play Store and set up a free app calledOpen Camera .
2 . Next , touch base your USB mic to with USB overseas telegram that you get it , and for the other final stage use anOTG cableorUSB - to - type C adapterto link up it to Android . See the image below
3 . Next , go to theOpen Cameraapp > mount > audio source > external mic .
4 . Now , open theYouTube app > Go live(though verify you first quiz it with unlisted video ) and now the audio will be recorded throughUSB micinstead of telephone set ’s internal mic .
5 . If you do n’t want to go live but just want to record the audio , then go toYouTube app > Record > this will give you the selection to choose between nonremittal tv camera app ( outside mic do n’t forge ) oropen camera app . Choose an open camera and use it record video . It ’ll work with an external mic .
notice : Even though the TV feature film in theopen camerais pay , when you open ‘ Open Camera ’ app from YouTube , it puzzle out fine . No need to upload video to YouTube , you ’ll chance it in your picture gallery .
When it works and when it not ?
I ’ve tested this with Pixel and another Samsung phone ( that patronage OTG ) and it worked with both of them .
You ’ll require Android 5.0 or gamy also a mid - range or flagship telephone set .
However , the default camera app did n’t pick up sound recording from the USB mic . So , you ’ll have to habituate third - party camera app which countenance you use anexternal mic for audio sourcesor the YouTube app .
