Not for GoPro Subscription members, who can live stream from their GoPro camera to their account at, then text a private live stream link to whoever they want. You do need to pair it with a smartphone with the GoPro app, and even then it’s a bit fiddly. Those with a Hero7 Black and later, or a GoPro Max, can use them to live stream in 1080p quality to YouTube, Facebook Profiles, Facebook Pages and Twitch. It’s also worth knowing that GoPro’s Quik for Desktop software doesn’t support the GoPro Fusion or GoPro MAX. You also can’t upload anything taken with your smartphone or any other action camera, which means that the GoPro cloud storage isn’t going to work if you use a hub on the cloud to store all your videos and photos. Users of the regular GoPro cameras won’t have any trouble uploading linear video, but if you’ve got a GoPro Fusion then you can’t upload its (extremely high-res) files. The cloud storage service is pretty easy to use, and its unlimited and auto-upload nature is tempting, but there are a couple of caveats. Crucially, photos and videos are stored in their original quality. You can then upload everything (videos and photos) from your camera to the cloud via the GoPro Quik app (on auto-upload when you’re on WiFi – even when the Hero10 Black is recharging), via the GoPro website, or via the GoPro software called Quik for Desktop. Surely one of the best reasons to go for a GoPro Subscription is for its unlimited cloud storage option. You get unlimited cloud backup and auto uploads, but not quite for everything. Available in these countries only.” Yup, it costs you extra money. Secondly, it’s not quite as liberal or as free a policy as it seems, with the small print explaining that you can “exchange up to two cameras per year for the same model (GoPro Fusion and Hero5 or later). It’s also worth knowing that if you lose it you can’t have it replaced this is about breakages only. But hang on…įirstly, we’d question whether you should really need any kind of insurance for a waterproof, drop-proof product like GoPro action camera (though screens do smash). The exact wording GoPro uses is: “no-questions-asked camera replacement.” That sounds like a good deal considering that you’re probably planning to take your GoPro skiing, cycling and general adventuring.

GoPro subscribers can’t replace a damaged GoPro for free.
