How to get rid of the hud?

There’s no way of recording without the letters and display?

Best app for streamers

I searched high and I searched low and wasted money on other apps, but this is hands down the best one for capturing video from my old iPhone 8, allowing full 4K streaming to OBS Studio. Very easy-to-use interface while giving you full control of the camera. Well worth the money and this app will save you money because you won’t have to buy an expensive high res webcam.

It's a good start, but missing one key feature

I love this app, however I think there is a feature that Camo has that Telecast should: the ability to change the settings of the app directly over the computer. Because when you set your camera up in the best angle possible and you realize that the white balance is off, it's frustrating to have to go on the phone to change those settings. This feature has to be a priority. Besides that, the rest is perfect!

Response from developer

Hi friseintense, Thank you for the review.  You are in luck, we just finished the new version of Telecast which includes remote controls via the macOS app. We hope to release it to everyone in two weeks. If you want early access you can send us an email and we will get you up and running. Thanks for your support. W.

Poor connectivity

Every time open the app it lags or stops working. I stopped using it and and quitting the subscription. Don’t waste your money.

Response from developer

Hi Jesus Face, I am very sorry to hear about the issue.  Could you give us more details, what computer are you using, what is the general setup? You can reach out via our website https://telecast.camera/docs/contact Thanks, W.

Brilliant

I LOVE this app — since the pandemic came down I’ve been using Telecast pretty much every day, for Zoom, for OBS recordings and streaming, and for recording lectures. It takes full advantage of the excellent camera on my iPhone 11, and produces professional looking video with lots of user control. I’ve used it to do some work with green screen (chromakey) and get a really crisp clean cutout thanks to the excellent camera resolution.

Bottom line: works as advertised, adds a really powerful video camera on your laptop for little cost.

I have no connection whatsoever to the developer, I’m just really happy with Telecast.

Trusted developer

This is made by the same developer that powers the battle-tested “OBS Camera” app that twitch broadcasters use. The MacOS app allows you to control the video without fidgeting with your phone during a call.

My phone is now a high quality webcam 😊

I saw a YouTube for OBS Camera and the guy compared it to a Logitech C920 webcam & made it look so easy I downloaded it...unfortunately that App didn’t work with my Set up via zoom but I discovered Telecast by same developers which did and a quick email gave me a coupon code so I didn’t have to pay out for another subscription 🙏🏻
With telecast application open on PC, Iphone connected to macbook and zoom or Facebook open It just works seamlessly, which as a technophobe has just made my life as a soft tissue therapist & Yoga teacher in UK Lockdown so much easier.
Quick & helpful response from team and looking forwards to using for my future live classes & self help recordings 🙂

Excellent webcam solution

I've been using this for several months with an older iPod touch and my Mac mini, mostly with Chrome (Meet & Zoom) and OBS Studio and love it. It's a great solution to the expensive webcam problem, providing good stability and great image quality. Definitely a good use for an older iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Excellent app, excellent customer service

I have tried just about every app to use my iPhone as a webcam when I don’t or can’t use my any of my Canon cameras.

Telecast Camera is number one on my list and here’s why:

1. Reliable and consistent video feed.
2. Works with the platforms I use namely; Zoom, StreamYard.
3. As a photographer and videographer, I like the ability to use manual settings, which Telecast allows me to do. If you don’t, no worries because auto does a great job.
4. Image quality is excellent.
5. I can control device settings on my laptop with the Mac OS companion app. (Note: all works with Big Sur)
6. I can adjust bitrates.
7. I use Telecast on my iPhone 11 Pro Max and Telecast allows me to select which camera to use i.e wide angle, ultra wide, telephoto and more.
8. Customer Service is very responsive. My production partner had a question just before we were going live online with a musical performance and bam we got a answer within a very short time. Same thing today, had a Big Sur issue and bam within 30 minutes I had my answer. Maybe I’ve been lucky but 2 for 2 works for me.

I write all of this to help anyone who has been searching for THE app. This is the one. I am not affiliated with this company nor have I been paid to write this. I will only write a review when a product/app has helped me do my job, this one has so I pay it forward.

Useful and intuitive

Extremely useful app especially now that I am in front of the camera more.

I was having some issues and what was able to get it resolved quickly through the help of their support.

Fantastic app and even better service.

Highly recommended!
