My new Hero 7 Black arrived today and I ran into this message board by accident while searching for tips from the community.
I bought the camera for the sole purpose of low budget live streaming from a lecture hall. Reading all these complaints made me cold sweat because all lectures last longer that 1 hour.

Gladly in my first test I managed to do a 1 and a half hour of streaming on Twitch without any errors or disconnects. I ended the streaming myself by pressing the stop button. So maybe they fixed the problem or I just got extremely lucky.

For my test I used my Hero 7 Black that I updated to the latest firmware (v1.90 | November 25, 2019 at the time of writing), an iPhone 11 with the latest version of GoPro app for IOS (v6.7 3515 at the time of writing) and a quite slow WiFi connection with 1Mbps upload rate. The camera was connected directly to the power outlet without the battery. For RTMP url I used this Twitch Ingest rtmp://live-fra05.twitch.tv/app/{stream_key} that I found here: https://stream.twitch.tv/ingests/. The video resolution was 720p. I had a 128gb micro sd card in the camera but it was not used because I did not selected the "save a copy" to the sd card option.

I don't have a Facebook account neither I have 1K+ subsribers on Youtube to test, but I do confirm that streaming uninterrupted for more that 1 hour is possible using RTMP in my case.

Hello @keitha58137

This has been shared with the team and we are waiting for new updates.

In the meantime, you may stream via RTMP.
