Great video! Can you use the iPhone camera along with another camera for an in studio guest while doing an online interview?

[koukidis]

Congrats on the video. Is there any chance to use the iPhone front camera instead? I’ve got one device constantly hanging over my monitor. So, it would be amazing to have the front camera. We are almost in 2024, right? We definitely should have this versatility. Thank you.

Hi! Super helpful thank you...only question is do you recommend using the audio on your iPhone/computer or should I connect a microphone?

[setusharma]

Thank you so much, you really helped me figure my problem out. Nowhere on any apple website etc they mention the mac and iphone need to be on the same account and i had been wrestling with it for a long time. So glad I found your video, and it fixed my problem in 10 minutes. Thanks again, subscribing!

[WiseSmellyLegs]

Hello!
May I ask, for how long can I use it until the battery dies?
Thank you

Does it make the experience better if you connect the iPhone to the Mac with a lightening to usb?

Do you know why my iPhone is not appearing as an option. I have a brand new XR and new Mac book pro? many thanks

Question: The Riverside Standard plan includes 1080p at 24 fps video, so what are the best camera settings to match this while recording on iPhone? It can't do 1080p at 24k fps. Is it okay to set it to 4k at 24fps? Or is 1080p at 30 fps a better bet?

Hello! I’m still having issues with continuity cam. Followed all the steps and it’s not connecting to riverside. Facetime is picking up the iPhone camera but not riverside. I’m on a MacBook Pro m2

[djdynamiksoundz]

Great video. How do I add the Samson QU2 for audio using this setup? Just plug the microphone in the Laptop USB and select this mic when entering the studio? How then would I eliminate the use of the iPhone mic at the same time? Thank you in advance.

Does the free version include access to continuity camera? I can connect my audio with my iphone but the video option isn't coming up? Please advise.

When recording like this from your iPhone can you put your phone on Airplane Mode? I want to avoid calls and text messages.

[musichovers-vanshika]
