Glitchy since new update

This app worked like a charm until the recent update. Now the image is glitchy and jerky in OBS and unusable :(

Student Streaming

We use this to stream our live morning announcements throughout the school, BESt Tool EVERY!

Has watermark

Just worse alternative to many other free options.

Doesn’t work on Mac anymore

They haven’t released a plugin update for Mac in 3 years. Don’t bother with this app if you’re on a Mac trying to get it to work, just use the continuity camera feature instead.

Amazing

Use it daily to run my WhatNot streams!! Never have had an issue.

Outstanding app, exceptional support

I’ve relied on OBS Camera for a long time. A recent update caused a serious decoding issue, and after I sent the developer my OBS log, he identified the problem and pushed a working fix within hours. The app is excellent, but that level of responsiveness is what really earned five stars.

New update broke the whole damn thing

Whatever update just happened it’s not working with the IOS camera. Currently unable to stream due to this. Please fix asap

Since update code glitches every 2 seconds

Since updating the video feed glitches every 2 seconds. I’ve paid for this and now it is unusable!

Camera lags now

I would increase the rating however it’s gone down hill after the update. I didn’t even know it was $70? I don’t remember paying that much so maybe that charged more for it now? Ugh. Other than the price it worked very well UNTIL THIS UPDATE. It lags and glitches so much when it didn’t before

Brought my old iPhones back to life with multi cam

Three angles for the cost of one app. I'm running an iPhone 17 as my main, an old 15 I never traded in as a side angle, and a hand-me-down 13 mounted overhead. All three appear as separate sources in OBS and switching between them is just scene switching.
USB keeps them low-latency enough to stay in sync with each other and with my audio interface, which is the part I assumed would break and didn't. Per-device lens selection means I can go ultra-wide for the room and standard for the face shot, and per-device white balance means they actually match instead of one angle looking orange.
If you've got dead iPhones sitting in a drawer, stop shopping for cameras and buy this instead!!

Game changer

Amazing app and obs plug in. Allows me to use my iPhone as a camera source in obs which is much higher quality than any webcam I own.

dont buy unless you have $70

the watermark bounces around and unless you want to pay $70 to remove it permanently, its not even worth the download.

Apparently Corporate is charging you 70 for this?

YO I GOT THIS FOR FREE, THIS IS ANTI-CONSUMER; unethical; and a complete disregard for the necessity of human tools. You’re paying the upper echelon overlords to have the code monkies unlock your devices local LAN streaming functionality and add it to an OBS import API. How much is that worth to people nowadays?

Why is this $70?! Worth it!

This software is amazing. And in spite of a high price tag it’s helping me avoid subscriptions for different software that is way crazier. So far in my testing it works perfectly with the source record filter in OBS as well. For recording two iPhones this is essential and is helping me avoid purchasing a DSLR. Thank you for making this

Audio doesn’t work

It’s been 3+ years and there have not been updates. The mic on the iPhone cannot be used in OBS 32. I spent $10+ to find this out. I regret it. Everyone look for another solution before the rest of the app breaks. This is criminal to still take money us.

This app is $70 btw

That watermark has to be a joke. If you want to make your app paid then fine, but I have a problem with the way you turned your app into a massive backhand to every user who can’t pay that ridiculous price.

Não recomendo

Não funciona

Use vdo.ninja

This app is outrageously overpriced. You can use the free feature without a watermark and the bloat by simply using vdo.ninja in a browser.

Also can spend $20 on Claude and have it build a better app if you need a wired connection. Overpriced and outdated.

Meh

It’s meh it don’t work on IOS so it’s pretty bad so meh

Pure greed!

Never seen anything like it! Brilliant app must say but come one dude having that moving massive water mark over the screen, if your going to offer a ‘free’ version at least be be far have it scrolling across the top in a nice lower font or something, this app is useless unless you pay! Let us make an account and have 7 days to use it like ALL OTHRT APPS to see if it’s right for us
