Are you a fitness instructor who loves to plug your streaming device direction into your sound system for professional quality audio, but your phone runs out of battery and you can’t plug both in at the same time? The good news is, there are solutions to this problem that can make your life much easier. Let's explore two convenient options that cater to different device types.

Live streaming with a wireless charger

For users of iPhone 8 and newer models or many Android devices, wireless charging is a game-changer. With options like the MagSafe charger or Wireless Qi charger, you can conveniently charge your device without worrying about tangled cables. These wireless chargers attach magnetically to the back of your phone, leaving your lightning or USB-C port available for audio devices.

Here's a simple guide to using a wireless charger with your iPhone:

  • Place your iPhone on the MagSafe or Qi wireless charger.
  • Ensure it's properly aligned for charging.
  • Plug your audio source into your Lightning or USB-C port.
  • You're all set to enjoy your audio while your device charges wirelessly!

If wireless charging isn't an option for you, don’t worry! The Belkin 3.5mm Audio + Charge RockStar comes to the rescue. This handy adaptor allows you to simultaneously plug in your charger and a 3.5mm stereo cable into your streaming device.

Here's how to use it effectively:
