Adding a radio stream link to SwiftChat
Once you have your server link from Step 1 and it's successfully broadcasting with Step 2, you can add it to SwiftChat by going to the radio list page, and pressing the "+" button.
On New Custom Radio you can enter the link for your server.
Are you hearing echoes in your broadcasts?
If your broadcasting application is streaming audio from your microphone, and your device is nearby playing the audio from your
broadcast, such as through SwiftChat, make sure it is not being recaptured by the broadcasting application. For some broadcasting applications, such as Rocket Broadcaster, you can reconfigure your broadcast to record from sources other than
the microphone.
