In the rare instance that it does not, the webcam via this app and my phone does not show up on YouTube as the phone camera but rather the webcam on my laptop even tho I have it set to use the phone/app. I see great promise but unfortunately not reliable for YouTube. **Developer response:** Hi!

Got it working once and that was it. The desktop app is also slow and buggy. Every time you click a button, theres a 3 second processing delay. Oh and while other VCam software allows you to be connected to a VPN on your PC and Phone they will still pair just fine. XSplit does not let you pair your phone to your PC if EITHER one is connected to a VPN service. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR STREAMING because of that oversight. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for the feedback. Please note that the two devices must use the same network so they can see each other and if you will use VPN, both devices must be connected to it. For the slow and buggy response of the desktop app, we'd like to know more about this and please reach our team for technical support via live chat at: https://help.xsplit.com ### 3/5 — Downsides *2021-03-04* Not sure why you’re not able to use USB , unable to change resolution in the app. App is very limited compared to some similar apps as well as the price being substantially higher. The positive is the auto green screen, only planned on using it till i got a real green screen. It’s a decent app but. Not worth the price you’d pay to own it, Might as well get a real webcam with full features. I used Streamlabs OBS with it and it kept changing to 640X480 and was not able to change the resolution at times. If you’re in a bind i’d suggest IVCam , cheaper to own and more features , minus the green screen. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback. Our Support team can assist with additional troubleshooting for that connection problem -- you can reach them via live chat at: https://www.xsplit.com/support ### 2/5 — Not worth it, > 1 min lag uninstalled immediately *2021-01-13, version 1.07* Not worth it, > 1 min lag uninstalled immediately **Developer response:** Hi! Does it still lag that much if you uncheck "Enable HD" in XSplit VCam's settings? Our Support team can help troubleshoot this some more, we recommend contacting them via live chat at: https://www.xsplit.com/support ## Frequently asked questions about XSplit Connect ### What does XSplit Connect: Webcam do?
