You'll need a GoPro HERO camera and a MAC or PC for transcoding the live stream with both wired and wireless connections (read below why) Pen apps for mac.
For sending a live video stream from your GoPro HERO to Facebook Live, YouTube Live or any other media server, you will need internet connection.

Connect GoPro to Computer: 4 Step Guide
Here are four ways to upload GoPro videos and photos to your computer.
1. Upload with SD Card Reader (Fastest Method)
This is my favorite method because it is the fastest method. And this isn’t just me saying that.
Here’s what GoPro says on their own site:
Pro tip:Using an SD card adapter is the fastest way to offload your media onto your computer.
I also like this method because it’s foolproof. It eliminates points of fail – like needing Quik or the GoPro app.
And this is also how I upload photos and footage from my other cameras (DSLR, video, and point and shoot).
You’ll need either a micro SD card reader or adapter (more on this below) and a computer.
Here’s how to do it.

2. Use Quik for Desktop by GoPro
Quik for Desktop is free software that you can download for managing your GoPro media on your computer.
It automatically imports and organizes your photos and videos. It also does some basic editing and can manage your firmware updates.

I’ve used it and it’s okay. I prefer to manage my library directly inside of File Explorer.While GoPro makes a solid camera, I’ve never been a big fan of their software.
3. Auto Launch Connect with USB Cable
So this option is similar to the previous – but without using GoPro software.
Windows has an Auto Launch feature. This can be customized to perform specific function when your camera is connected.
Here’s how to do it:
