Audio doesn’t work with Win 11 and Won’t work in background.
Audio also doesn’t work with windows 11 which is the whole point. As soon as i bring another app in front using multi task, the feed stops. This seems to be a crucial blocker. Why would the camera feed stop as soon as you bring another app to the front using multi tasking. Your allowed up to 4 apps without any interruptions. That’s the whole point of this thing !

No audio / CPU hog
Similar to another reviewer, I tried the free version. It seemed to work well. The app indicates that it will do audio too since it asks for access to the phone’s microphone. But also said to get all the features I need t the pro version, so I paid the $8. However, I did notice that after upgrading, outside of asking for access to the phones microphone, it makes no mention of doing audio.
I wanted to stick a web camera on a birds nest outside my window. This app would give me the opportunity to do it wirelessly. Much better option than running a wire out my window.
However once I upgraded the app, and got everything setup…no audio. The only option was the laptop microphone. To make it worse, the laptop gets HOT. The fan never stops running. It gets so hot that I set a ziplock bag of ice under the laptop in the area of the CPU (added cooling) and it melted the whole bag in 30 minutes and the laptop still managed to overheat. Admittedly, I’m using an older laptop for this, but wow…it’s a huge resource hog!
I gave it 2 stars because it does what it says it does (minus the audio) but as others have mentioned it can be a flakey connection wireless, and maybe if you’ve got a really nice, newer gaming PC it won’t overheat your system. For my use though…this was a bad purchase and not recommended if you plan to use anything underpowered on the PC side.

Disappointing
Somewhat of a let down, worked first time and seemed great but it’s glitchy and crashes camera hub, won’t view the camera and frankly more effort than it’s worth. It’s a real shame as it could be an awesome bit of software
Don’t expect this app to work
They sabotaged this app to sell more Elgato cameras and mics. Video will not match audio, and freezes constantly. Quality of camera is HD at best, even with back camera.
Stops working
It randomly just stopped working and connecting to my PC for a face cam, the camera is fine but they need to fix the bug where it doesn’t work anymore
!BEWARE SCAM!
DO NOT BUY! Go watch YouTube videos on the product and notice there’s a bunch of people complaining how THIS APP DOESN’T WORK! I made the mistake. You don’t have to.
Also check recent reviews on the App store.

Connections issues
Works and then does not work , could have been soo. good but they blew it
Doesn’t Work
Basically the title. Support suggests upgrading and reinstalling to the latest version of Windows, iOS, the Camera Hub program and EpocCam app only for it to boot work over a wired or wireless connection when all other standard things (ie. iPhone mirror or media over USB) works just fine.
Great when it workser
Eventually loses the wi-fi connection to Zoom even though preview screen continues to work on PC. I’ll never understand the Schrodinger effect: two devices can be connected and disconnected at the same time!
Free version works this one doesn’t
Why did I pay for a pro version when it doesn’t work?
Hasn’t worked for over half a year
I bought this app and was pleased when I got it at first
Crisp camera low latency over WiFi was great. Used to be my go to camera
One day they updated this and it hasn’t worked since.
I’ve tried every troubleshooting tip and none of them work and my patience is gone.
I waited months for this to be fixed and was confident it would be fixed quickly.
Fast forward I still don’t have full access to the app I PAID for.
I can use camera vs usb but the whole point I invested anything into this app was for the cordless mobility option it added to my setup.
If you buy this and it doesn’t work don’t expect it to be fixed and don’t act like you weren’t warned
Just buy a usb camera

When this app worked
This app used to be great, it used to work. I used to be able to plug in my phone and get going and have no
Issues. Now? I paid money for an app that doesn’t work. I’ve gone through reinstalled, cleaned out the drivers, checked my firewall, changed my cord, reset my pc, redownloaded the app. And I’m stuck with an app that’s I’d asked for my money back if I didn’t buy it years ago

Waste of time and money
Every time I have to use this, I to REDOWNLOAD the camera hub on my pc to work. This NEVER detects my desktop through wifi no matter what troubleshooting I have to go through. I have done everything to try and make it work. Either the Camera Hub is the problem or the EpocCam app. Either way, they need to patch this bug on both ends.

Paid for pro doesn’t even work
Support is terrible. Website gives incorrect instructions on using with obs. No matter what I try it does not show up in obs. Even with elgato cam hub installed and on. Waste of 8 bucks. Highly disappointed.
Lag time
The video lags badly. Only useable when doing VIDEO ONLY recording.
Really annoying
It used to be really good for a while. I wouldn’t buy this. Constant issues with connection. Now it no longer connects. Tried all the troubleshooting, however, once you get it working, give it a week or two and you have to go back to troubleshooting. Uninstalling and reinstalling usually does the trick. Now you have to do it a few times before it starts working for one or two weeks. Typical Corsair business. No wonder I cue behaves the same. Terrible

Simply doesn’t work
I purchased the full version but it didn’t make any difference. All I get is a blank green screen when trying to connect to anything but the CameraHub
Once perfect now horribly flawed
I never changed my devices, cords, or wifi and it all worked great. Then they had an update, and now the app can’t connect to my computer.
When it works it works great…but
I began using EpocCam for my twitch streams a few weeks ago. When it works it is an amazing alternative to a webcam but the problem is that more often than not it doesn’t work. Connection issues are the norm. Connecting via WiFi only works about 25% if the time and it absolutely eats your battery and heats up your phone making it a bad choice for anything other than short streams. Connecting via usb also has its issues. You have to have a powerful enough cable and half of the time even with the correct cable it will disconnect about 10 minutes into streaming/recording or just straight up not work. I tried many different hotfixes and found that nothing really worked long term so I was basically just rolling the dice to see if it would work or not. I ended up just buying a regular 4K webcam. Save your money and just get a webcam.

Great camera app
Love the performance and the fact that it supports screen dimming (I understand ios has limitations here) so the device doesn’t need to get to hot and wear out the battery as much during a stream.
Only thing I’d love to see is all settings saving as a profile. For example every single time I launch it I go select NDI > 1080p > disable mic > select virtual green screen filter. Hopefully that’s not too hard to implement and I’m sure having multiple profiles could be a huge benefit for some streamers too!
