QGo Live by Radio.Cloud

Go live from wherever the story is.

QGo Live is the multitool for radio reporters. The line to your studio, private talkback for several people, your soundbites, a cue picture and an audio editor are all in one app on your phone.

* Until QGo Live is available in the Play Store, you can download the latest version here.

Your station sets up your account. Ask your station admin for an invitation.

QGo Live during a call with Studio A: on the line over a direct connection, with buttons for audio, mute and hang up, and a clip playing in the studio.

One app for the whole live shot

A morning remote, from the interview on the street to the toss back to the studio.

  1. Record the interview

    The Field Editor records in studio quality, 48 kHz WAV on iPhone. Set a start and an end, then keep that part or cut it out. The joins are smooth, and Undo is one tap away.

  2. Load your soundbites

    Bring up to three of your own clips into the call. The studio adds its own, and everything lands in one list. The studio plays them on air; you start and stop them from your phone.

  3. Call the studio

    One tap calls your studio. Or the studio calls you: on iPhone it rings like a phone call, even when the app is closed.

  4. Talk to your producer

    Talkback is a private line to the studio or to a producer. It never goes on air. Several people can join, and the studio can end it at any time.

  5. Take the cue

    A small picture both ways, for hand cues like “3, 2, 1”. On a weak network the picture pauses first, so your audio always comes first.

  6. You’re on

    Broadcast-quality audio with a short delay. When your phone switches between Wi‑Fi and mobile data, the call reconnects by itself.

  7. Back to the studio

    Chat and shared notes keep names and times straight during the shot. The studio can record every voice on its own track, plus the mix.

Record it, cut it, send it

The Field Editor turns your phone into a recorder and an editor for the street.

  • Record interviews, sound and voice reports. The screen stays on while you record.
  • Tap the waveform, set start and end, and keep or cut the part. Undo goes back one step.
  • Share the finished file by mail, AirDrop, Files or your newsroom’s app.
  • During a call, send a take to the studio as a clip. It plays there, and you hear it on the line.
  • Your takes stay on your phone until you share them or send one as a clip.
The Field Editor with three takes: an interview, a council vote and a traffic report.
Editing a take: the waveform with a marked selection and the buttons Set start, Set end, Keep selection, Cut selection and Undo.

The studio side runs in a browser

No receiver box to install. Any studio computer opens the QGo Live studio page and takes calls.

  • Several reporters at once

    Each voice sits slightly left or right, so a conversation between two reporters stays easy to follow.

  • See every caller’s phone

    Battery, Wi‑Fi or 4G/5G, carrier and location are on each call card, next to the connection numbers.

  • A producer anywhere

    A remote producer station mirrors the studio, with its own talkback and a monitor of the call.

  • Guests and callers

    Send an interview guest a link to join from the browser, no app needed. Or call a regular phone number in the US or Canada and bring the caller in.

  • Recording and transcription

    Record each voice and the mix. Switch on a live transcript when you need one.

  • Your station, your people

    Station admins invite reporters and set up studios themselves. Sign-in works with a password, Apple or Microsoft.
