Iriun also works with usb connected to your laptop (if you want a more reliable connection). I'm using Macbook Pro and a Samsung S20+ android phone. Works fine so far.

[gonaturalcaribe]

Wow gracias!!! Your chanel is what I’ve been looking for all this weeks. I am not a tech savvy so I appreciate very much some education on how to make my videos (for YouTube and online teaching) better. Thank you for the great content!!!

[DaCake]

Great video as always. Would love to see you do a comparison on these with Camo vs OBS Ninja. I hear good things about both of those.

[shakerawilson]

Really appreciate this video. I was about to buy an app but I'll just use the NeuralCamLive instead

[louisandrewroque]

my iriun is broken the video is divided into 3 and its upside down and a lot of stripes how can i fix this?

[CorporateCreators]

Great tips! Just subscribed to your channel. Thank you!

I use the paid version of Ivcam as well as Iriun. Iriun is simple and great, and I love it because I can connect multiple phones. However, in my last stream using Vmix, the iriun had quite a lot of lags, breaking often, but the ivcam was quite stable without lags. Can you advise?

@Javier Mercedes - Great video! Question about the audio connection ….. I assume the built-in iphone microphone is being used as default these cases? Are the pc speakers used as default output? Assuming both of these could be adjusted in the settings. My AirPods won’t connect to my work laptop, so I’m curious if I could use Bluetooth on the iPhone, connect my AirPods for the audio output and input, along with the video stream? Did you happen to test this, if so, how did it work?
Last question, did you have to place your iPhone in DND mode in order to avoid risk of disruption during your recording?

Used Iruin with 5ghz router on 1080p at night I got 40 fps on free version and input recognition is true it worked with my weirdest apps immediatly very helpful. I'll try on daylight with more artificial light as well to get higher fps tomorrow if I don't forget I'll type the fps here but 40 is still helpfull will gonna help me a lot.

[geoffreyzziwambazza]

I would probably fork up the 8 bucks to use the USB connection for the pro version. I’m not a huge fan of lag if it means I only have to sacrifice a few dollars to reduce it.

How to connect with thermino spectrometer ?

So does this work even if your laptop does not come with a internal webcam🙈.
