I imagine it is surely challenging to have your product compared to the streaming giant that is OBS. I imagine there is a lot of pressure on devs to get it to the same level as OBS, they’re doing a great job, however they are still missing some basic stuff. The most glaring of that being…
Community Plugins: build some sort of API so that the community can make plugins for the app (assuming Apple allows that, correct me if I’m wrong). Community plugins allows devs to focus on stability and groundbreaking improvements while the community can pick up the slack that OBS has over Camo Studio for iPad
Also some minor level bugs needs fixed as well. I just lost a recording of an entire, one showing only, play I was asked to film. The file didn’t save because it said that the save location I set it to didn’t exist despite me being able to open the exact folder (with all of the other camo videos I’ve recorded) it couldn’t find. A default save location to fall back on would have solved this issue before it even came up.
I love Camo but there is some work that needs to be done. It’s been a while since an update so I’m hoping they have something huge in the works.

Hey there Oliver, thank you so much for such a kind and thorough review! Community plugins would be a bit difficult to support as there are some rules from Apple that it could conflict with. However, it is something we would love to do, so if we can make it work then we will! In regards to losing a recording, would you mind reaching out to our support team at support@reincubate.com as we'd love to investigate this.First 2 weeks it was awesome everything smooth now audio skips and I’m getting latency issues but everything else on my internet runs smoothly

My current set up:
-iPad Air 5th Gen with M1 Chip
-Elgato HD60S+ Capture Card
-PS5
-Audiobox Go Interface
-A Samson XLR Mic
-A Logitech Brio
-An aux cable connecting from my tv to the interface
-Generic USB C Dock
I love this app! It’s something I’ve been waiting for since Apple announced their new line of iPads running their M series silicon chips. Camo Studio and the team behind it do not disappoint!
Some things I’d like to see addressed:
-Multiple audio inputs (or forcing mono input). I understand that there are constraints to the iPad and iPadOS. Given my setup, my interface can combine two different sources, that being my microphone, and my TV’s aux output, however it can only capture in stereo. So when I record or stream, my audio comes out with my voice in one speaker, and the gameplay from the other. I wonder if there’s a way to force the application to record audio in mono?
-My face cam shape. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t seem to have the option to change the shape of my camera feed when trying to create a scene from scratch? It’s just the circle. I can see the option in the tutorial videos, but can’t seem to find them myself. This also might just be a me issue, but I find creating a new scene entirely to be a bit confusing to start? This is given I’ve used OBS Studio for years now on traditional computers.
Overall, great experience. I look forward to seeing where the team takes this app moving forward.

Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We appreciate your feedback. Currently, connecting devices wirelessly to Camo Studio is available for our desktop version only and not available for our iPad version. However, we're excited to inform you that it's already on our roadmap. Please keep an eye out for our future updates.The App is great, but there is a problem with screen mirroring where it doesn’t show the whole screen (Cuts off the top and bottom of screen), and when I need to switch to an app, the view cuts my top half off where you can’t see the whole image of me, only the lower half. This problem seems to only happen when you are screen recording (I am working off of an M2 IPad Pro).
Other than that works great! Especially with Mic, Console, Screen, MIDI, etc plugged into a hub. Would love to use full time if this issue can be resolved. Seems to be a (relatively) easy fix.
Also, I have tried to delete and reinstall the app, but the same result was concluded.

I love this app for recording my gameplays with high quality. But "Record It!" app gives me two audio channels in Lumafusion: one for the game sound and one for my mic, so I'm having some trouble understanding why you can't do the same.
Please add multi-platform streaming so I can stream to YouTube, Twitch, and Kick simultaneously.
Please let me rename and hide my RTMP streams’ address and key.
Please allow me to record my voice and party chats in separate channels or adjust the mic volume in its own channel. When I use my elgato hd60x with a chatlink cable, my voice is too quiet in the recordings. Sometimes the only fix is to lower the game and party audios below 30% but this makes it hard for me to have a good game session or enjoy the gameplay.

Hi there! Right now there are iOS limitations that prevent us from being able to add more than one audio channel, we hope that this will be a functionality that opens up to developers moving forward, so we can support multiple sources! You can also pre-mix multiple sources using an audio interface, and then select the audio interface in the settings. We have improvements planned for stream panels in a coming update, we'd love to hear more details on what you're looking for when it comes to resizing/relocating - let us know at support@reincubate.com 🙏 Update: You say there are audio limitations on iOS but since 2020 or 2021, the app "Record It!" has been giving me 2 audio channels to work with in edit when editing in Lumafusion. If gives me audio for whatever I'm capturing and audio for my mic if I am using one.
This app is incredible and is really helping me with capturing my gameplays at a more professional level, I just wish it had a second audio input so that I could record my game captures and party chats but record my voice in a separate channel with a mic and get 2 audio channels to work with in edit or at least be able to increase the audio of my mic's channel since when I have my headset connected to my elgato hd60x with a chatlink cable, I can't be heard clearly in the recordings unless all other sounds are extremely low, too low for me to hear when gaming
