Microphone live streaming from your Android device to any streaming music player

Features & Capabilities

LANmic is a powerful Chrome extension that enables live streaming of your Android device's microphone to any compatible streaming music player over a local area network. It supports a variety of audio streaming protocols including HTTP WAVE, MP3, AMR, OGG, and RTSP AAC/AMR, allowing you to select your preferred sample rate and port. The extension features a mic volume indicator, live streaming via Chromecast, and the ability to share streaming URLs with apps like BubbleUPnP, making it easy to forward streams to UPnP/DLNA renderers such as XBMC.

Designed with versatility in mind, LANmic works seamlessly even on older Android devices and continues streaming in the background or when the screen is off. Use cases include baby and child monitoring, one-way or two-way communication within your home, and recording or spying capabilities when set up appropriately. With configurable options to minimize latency, LANmic enhances your local streaming experience securely without routing traffic through the internet. Support the developers by using the app responsibly and providing feedback through their forum.

Automatic connection to router and easy IP address discovery.
Supports multiple streaming clients like VLC and WinAmp without issues.
Options to choose audio format (WAV or MP3) and sampling frequencies.

Cons

Lack of support for stereo output, making it unsuitable for some use cases like FM radio music sharing.
Frequent and intrusive full-screen video ads, including TikTok ads, are disruptive to user experience.
App is unstable at times, with hang-ups and packet loss issues after client disconnections.
No support for Chromecast or Google Home streaming despite some user expectations.
Missing features such as pause/resume, mute/unmute, user permissions, custom port setting, and background service support.
