Short answer

No. Going LIVE while you drive isn't allowed, even with the phone set in place or if you just film the street. Go LIVE only when the car is fully stopped in a safe place.

Steps

  1. Wait until the car is fully stopped in a safe place before you go LIVE.
  2. Keep the LIVE off at a red light and while you're still trying to stop.
  3. Keep the LIVE off whenever the wheels are moving.

Key points

  • Your attention is off the road when you drive and go LIVE.
  • If your passenger starts the LIVE and you just drive and talk, it is still a violation.
  • Fully stopped means a hundred percent stopped.
