Dive into streaming, or record your next video, in just a few taps – hone your scene, connect your camera, and start creating with ease – all directly from your iPhone or iPad. Camo Studio is free, and a finalist in Apple’s 2025 App Store Awards. STREAM & RECORD FROM ANYWHERE Connect a mic to your iPhone, or cameras and mics to your iPad, and start streaming on the move, and record your video to built-in or connected storage for editing and uploading high-quality content later. SHARE YOUR GAMING MOMENTS On iPad, stream console games with a capture card to Twitch, YouTube, Kick and more. On iPhone, stream your mobile games with a spare phone as your facecam. Set up your scene with tactile controls that make multi-feed and PiP simple to configure. SWITCH UP YOUR SCENES Quickly switch between a collection of built-in or custom scenes with a tap to help engage your audience or show a different shot. Each scene can be configured individually with different cameras, video and audio sources, and output profiles, and layered with text, images, shapes, video and web pages. PRO STREAMS WITH WEB OVERLAYS Imbue your streams with your personal aesthetic, or a professional touch, with support for web overlays from StreamElements, Streamlabs, Uno Overlays and more. Import template or custom web overlays, with live content, alerts, embedded control panels, and a wide array of other widgets. A ONE-APP STREAM CONTROL CENTRE Stay in touch with your chat, trigger in-stream events, and check on your mods, all through Camo Studio’s stream panels. Add exactly the panels you need – each is custom to the streaming service you use, and gives you powerful controls for your livestreams. POWERFUL VIDEO ENHANCEMENTS & ADJUSTMENTS Camo Studio comes loaded with functionality that helps you stand out. Easily apply a subtle “Bokeh” effect to your background, or replace it or remove it entirely! Adjust the framing and orientation of each input feed, including Auto-framing modes that help you stay in-shot. MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR IPHONE Your iPhone becomes a complete live studio: use your front and rear cameras at once, flick the controls away for a clean view, and when your phone warms up, Camo Studio eases the frame rate instead of dropping your stream. MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR IPAD Your iPad supports connecting a breadth of peripherals, external devices and cameras, with every panel in view on the bigger screen. Use it as a bigger, sharper screen for your Nintendo Switch, or as a video monitor for your camera. M1 and later iPads can even run Camo Studio in the background while streaming or recording, capturing the device’s screen, and can integrate with your Stream Deck. SECURITY AND PRIVACY FIRST Camo Studio transmits your video directly to the streaming services of your choosing, and all recordings are entirely local to your iPhone or iPad, connected storage device or selected storage service. Your data is your business, not ours. NOT ONLY BUT ALSO! - Pro-quality video in a range of resolutions, including 4K UHD, 1080p HD, and 720p - Built-in galleries come preloaded with backgrounds and filters to try in your videos - Work in landscape, portrait or square orientations, great for TikTok-style shots at 9:16 aspect ratio - Use your device’s front and back cameras as part of your scene - Add any spare phone or tablet running Camo Camera as another angle over Wi-Fi - Plug in a USB mic, or connect a Bluetooth mic like AirPods, and sound as good as you look - Looks great in light and dark mode - No ads in the app, ever WE’RE HERE TO HELP We’re fanatical about supporting our users, and we’d love to help you make the most of Camo Studio on your iPhone or iPad.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Camo Studio at 4.5 against Larix Broadcaster's 3.6. Camo Studio also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 131). Larix Broadcaster's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Camo Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camo Studio has 2.6K ratings behind it against 131, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Larix Broadcaster's written reviews are positive against 51% of Camo Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Larix Broadcaster ships an update every 3 weeks, Camo Studio every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
