Larix Broadcaster Keeps Asking for Camera Permission During a Prerecorded YouTube Stream: What to Check

Larix is documented as a mobile camera encoder, not a local prerecorded-file player. Identify whether the source should be your phone camera or an existing video before changing permissions.

If you are streaming an existing video file, a repeated camera-permission prompt may mean Larix Broadcaster is opening its camera-capture workflow—not that it can play the file. Larix is documented as a mobile encoder for live camera video, while the reviewed official materials do not document it as a local prerecorded-video or playlist player. If your phone camera is meant to be the live source, camera permission is relevant; if the file is meant to be the source, check that your encoder supports file playback.

First identify what you are trying to send

The right next step depends on the intended video source. Larix Broadcaster is described by YouTube and the app listings as a mobile live-video encoder that captures from a phone camera. Its documented functions include switching between cameras and recording MP4 video; those descriptions do not establish local prerecorded-file playback.

  • Phone camera: Larix’s documented camera-capture role makes camera permission relevant. Check the permission status in the phone’s app settings. The exact menu and available permission states vary by device and OS version.
  • Existing video file or playlist: Verify that the encoder you selected explicitly supports file input or media playlists. The reviewed Larix materials do not document that capability, so granting camera permission should not be treated as a fix for a file-playback mismatch.

If the phone camera is supposed to be live

  1. Open the phone’s system settings for apps and find Larix Broadcaster. Check the camera permission status shown there; the precise path depends on the device and OS version.
  2. If camera access is denied or blocked, change it using the phone’s permission controls, then reopen Larix and test camera capture.
  3. Note the exact prompt wording and when it appears: on launch, when opening a camera preview, or after starting the stream. If it continues, record the device model, OS version, and permission status before troubleshooting further.

The available documentation does not identify a universal cause or fix for a repeated prompt. Without the device, OS version, current permission state, prompt wording, and steps that trigger it, attributing the behavior to an OS bug, reinstall, or particular setting would be guesswork.

If you are trying to stream a prerecorded file

Choose an encoder workflow that explicitly supports playing a local file or playlist as the program sent to YouTube. The reviewed Larix listings describe live camera capture and recording, not local file playout. YouTube’s encoder instructions explain connecting an encoder; they do not establish that Larix can play a prerecorded file.

For a YouTube encoder stream, copy the live server URL and stream key from YouTube Studio into the encoder. Keep the stream key private: anyone with access to it may be able to send a feed to that stream.

Starting a scheduled YouTube stream

  1. In YouTube Studio, create or open the scheduled live event and obtain its server URL and stream key.
  2. Enter those values in the encoder that supports your chosen source, then start sending the encoder output.
  3. In Live Control Room, wait until the encoder preview appears, then click Go live.

Scheduling the event alone does not start an encoder or make a prerecorded file play automatically. YouTube says streams under 12 hours are automatically archived.
