A clip-on transmitter and a small receiver that plugs into the phone fix that for £25 to £45. It suits Whatnot, TikTok Shop and Vinted streams from a phone, whatever your order volume. Some kits come with two transmitters for a co-host. ## Connector, battery and mute button Match the receiver plug to your phone: USB-C for recent iPhones and Android phones, Lightning for older iPhones. Aim for five hours or more of battery and a charging case. Noise reduction helps in a room with a fan or traffic. A mute button on the transmitter lets you cough or answer the door without leaving the show. ## Using it on a show Plug the receiver into the phone before opening the selling app, then clip the transmitter to your collar a hand's width below your chin. Say a few words and check the app shows the clip-on mic as the input. Keep the phone on a tripod or overhead arm and the receiver facing you. Charge both parts after each show. ## A better mic, a tall tripod or a gooseneck holder If you stream from more than a phone, pick a mic that records a backup on the transmitter and connects to cameras and computers. For standing try-on shows, add a 150 cm phone tripod with remote. A gooseneck phone holder keeps the phone close at a desk. If you skip the clip-on, the phone's own mic picks you up from there. ## Build quality and case fit Budget kits vary in build, so read recent reviews for range and battery fade. Some phone cases stop the receiver seating fully. Test with the case on before your first show. ## Common mistakes - Order the connector that matches your phone's port: USB-C or Lightning. - Plug the receiver in before you open the selling app, or the app can miss it. - A mic clipped too low makes your voice sound thin; move it up near the collar. - Noise reduction on high can make you sound underwater. Try a lower setting. - A thick case can block the receiver, so test the fit before going live. ## Guides - [How to promote your Whatnot show](https://sellersetups.com/guides/promote-your-whatnot-show): Get people into your next Whatnot show: short videos, posts between shows, product photos and turning buyers into regulars. - [How to sell on Whatnot in the UK](https://sellersetups.com/guides/sell-on-whatnot-uk): Apply as a seller, sort UK shipping, build a stock list and run your first Whatnot show from a spare room with a phone and a ring light. - [How to sell Pokémon cards on Whatnot: setup and kit](https://sellersetups.com/guides/sell-pokemon-cards-live): The camera, light, sound and card protection a Pokémon seller needs for a first live show, and the order to buy it in. - [TikTok Shop live setup for beginners](https://sellersetups.com/guides/tiktok-shop-live-setup): Your first TikTok Shop live from a bedroom corner: phone position, light on your face, clear sound and a running order that keeps viewers watching. ## Questions ### Will it work with TikTok Shop live? Phone apps usually switch to the plugged-in mic. Test with a short private recording first. ### Can I still charge the phone with the receiver plugged in? Some receivers have a charging pass-through port. If you run long shows, buy one that lists it. ### Is it worth it over the phone mic? Yes, if you move around or turn away from the phone. The further you move from it, the quieter and thinner you sound. ### Do I need two transmitters? Only for a co-host. One covers a solo show.
