I just tried this on an Android phone and it works like a champ! I have been struggling for weeks to do this with a GoPro 9 and it has been a nightmare. I had this working flawlessly in 10 minutes. Thanks for this!

This actually work fast!! Thanks for getting straight to the point and giving clear directions!

This info should be a game changer for creators on a budget. Not having to have an independent camera to get started is huge.

Hi, does this work with an external microphone w/o loosing sync? On Elgato's EpocCam Pro I am always loosing sync, even using the cabled connectivity :-(

This is really helpful! I’ve thought about doing livestreams for my channel, but I don’t know how to do it! I’m an artist and my channel is devoted to helping people relax using art.

That's so easy. Thanks Dee and Streamyard for sharing. I need to set that up. Maybe I can use my camera as a second source

QUESTION: how could do this setup but also have a XLR microphone and audio interface in there?

[NeelsWorld]

I have been using Iriun for quite some time. Iriun by far is one of the best. Other options include IvCam, Droid Cam etc. Also, if you use OBS, obsdroid is worth checking out.

This is super helpful! My phone is way better than my old DSLR so I use it for all my filming 😅
