  • Love the app BUT

    lots of love and support to Reincubate team, please 🙏 solve a problem i am having

    while i play and live stream directly from my ipad,
    If i enable secondary camera connecting my smartphone it becomes pip mode and interferes with my gaming and blocks part of my screen .

    Is there a way to disable pip mode and place the camera outside the screen recording box?so that the viewers can also see me and i can also play smoothly without the camera in my screen.

    it would help me alot because i dont have a computer and external cameras to setup so this would boost my streaming alot.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a kind review! The problem you are having is a limitation from the iPad's OS requiring us to use pip to screen record. At the moment you can disable the secondary camera, but we hope this limitation opens up in the future and offers us some more flexibility. If there's ever anything we can do for you then we're here to help at support@reincubate.com
  • Only one of its kind, but not good enough to use

    I’ve been looking for an app like this for a long time as a teacher. I frequently create explanation videos for students in which I’m marking up a document and would like to have an external camera set to my face. The issue that I have seem to run into is that if I capture the screen of my iPad Pro, the upper and lower edges seem to be cropped away… so I’ve had to scrap entire videos due to explaining something that wasn’t included in the video (but was indeed on the screen). Also, it seems to have issues with cropping the floating PIP window — sometimes will appear square, sometimes circular, but often a different size than the preview. This app is EXACTLY what I need and yet without this proper functionality, it means a solution doesn’t exist here unfortunately.

    Hey there! The issue you are describing should have been fixed in the latest update so please make sure you are up to date. If you are, then would you mind reaching out to us via email at support@reincubate.com ? If you do then it would be helpful to include a few samples of what you are experiencing, some screenshots, a short recording etc. Additionally if you could include the iPad model and iPadOS version that would be great too!
  • Same device screen capture is trash

    It shows on my YT that the stream is going but all you can see is the few seconds of setting up the stream in the app, then nothing. When you try to record your screen as well, it blurs the content and the volume controls for mic and content don't work. The face cam for recording your screen is also trash.

    If you want to record your screen plus face cam, just get a secondary device, a studio camera and a capture card and set that up

  • User nightmare

    Trying to use this app to stream the Twitch is an absolute nightmare. I set it up and it wouldn’t record my screen first of all and then it said it was streaming to twitch and it wasn’t and it was extremely hit or miss love the idea hope to see some better updates in the future, but for now, sorry it has to be a one star for me

    Hey there, we're sorry to read about your truly underwhelming experience but we appreciate you taking the time to share this as feedback helps us constantly improve Camo!

  • Recommendation

    Great app, just want to request an option for audio passthru to stream audio directly from the device.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your question - we appreciate you taking the time to write in! Right now, only iPads with M1 chips or newer are able to support using a camera while simultaneously recording/streaming apps on the iPad - we hope this clears things up! If you have more questions or feedback for us, please share at support@reincubate.com 🙏
  • Almost Perfect!

    I use this app to play games via consoles while on the go, as well as use as a monitor for PC/Mac. It does exactly that however I have two issues that can be overlooked or worked around but ultimately would make the experience better if these can be worked out. The first is input lag; which isn’t terrible, but it’s there. You can very easily play something like Red Dead, Animal Crossing, Sims, Civilization etc with little to no issue, but don’t expect to be playing your best games in Street Fighter or Smash Bros. The other issue is very minor and I would assume very easy to fix; and that’s the visibility of the status bar and info bar on iPad. While using this app the time and battery percentage are always visible and don’t hide like when you are watching Netflix or other viewing apps. In addition to that, there no way to truly go “full screen”. I understand that doing so would technically be cropping in and removing some data but in most games you simply adjust safe zones and HUDs are fine. I would love if I could truly fill my display with the input content and remove the status/info bars. I would rate 5 stars if that could be fixed. Input delay would be awesome, but I understand that is a much more difficult task to remedy.

    Hey there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an in-depth review, we really appreciate the feedback and support! In regards to the input lag, it can highly depend on your setup and we'd be happy to hear about your setup and see if we can recommend some improvements if you reach out to us at support@reincubate.com. We've also noted down the request to hide the status bar so we can take a look at potentially adding it to a future update!
  • Mobile live streaming DOESN'T work😡

  • AMAZING

    Camo studio can do amazing things. Stream on multiple platforms, and you can play the game on your pc and the have your iPad as your camera? Amazing. The only problem is that you can’t record on one device. Other then that, the software is amazing

  • Limited

    This app has potential but for what I’m trying to do I’ll continue using OBS. This app needs more control over your audio source and video playback from a video that’s already on your iPad like a star stop button. It’s hard to do reaction videos when the video just plays and won’t stop you can’t pause it or scrub back so I don’t know.

    Developer Response

    Hey there, thanks for taking the time to leave us some really important feedback! Video playback is something we know is requested and it's on our roadmap to be part of a future update. We've gone ahead and noted this down in our user requests so we know there's a little more demand for the feature! In regards to audio, this is due to ipadOS limitations which we hope opens up in the future to allow us to do more with it. In the meantime, we recommend using an audio interface, we'd be happy to share some recommendations. If you're interested then send us a message at support@reincubate.com
  • Really great BUT….

    This app is helping me get one step closer to fully using my iPad Air 5 as a full laptop replacement. I have but one complaint/bug I’ve noticed in the scene editor. When I import an image, such as my logo, I cannot fully control the size of said logo. If I try to change the size horizontally, the aspect ratio is locked, so every other dimension is locked in. I should be able to adjust the size of the logo image in every direction without the aspect ratio being locked.

    I can easily use my Maonocaster E2 sound board for sound and my Canon M6 Mark II with my Elgato HD 60S+ for video, and it is all perfect. If I can just import my logo in editing scenes, and not have it aspect locked, we are golden.

    Developer Response

    Hey there, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us such a kind review! Unlocking the aspect ratio should be significantly improved in the next update for Camo Studio for iPad. In the meantime, you can unlock/lock the aspect ratio by either long pressing the image in the sidebar or in the editing canvas.
