Worked fine with an older USB endoscope camera that was only spec-ed for Windows - which helped me solve an engineering problem. Can't see why 5 stars could be wrong, given the no-hype application and small user base. Found ads not obtrusive.

Everything I need it to do. I will be buying the pro app even tho this version does everything I need. I am unable to find where to set streamed / stream / streaming resolution for srt. Besides that app works great alto ads

This app just gives me a black screen when connected to my camera. It's connected with an HDMI cable into a capture card and connected to my phone with an usbc cable. It worked exactly 1 time after that.... utter darkness.

didn't work for my phone. Kept saying my cord was more than a meter when it wasn't. Kept saying my phone wasn't connected when the cord was very well-connected

Lots of partners in the cookie popup, some marked as "legitimate interest". Can't see part of the video because of a banner ad. Close the camera and another ad....
★☆☆☆☆fekra agabtny· Jan 6, 2026
This is the worst ads' app I have ever seen, every 5 seconds a new ad, and then when we choose camera stream 5 seconds, and it shows another ad and exits stream and repeat like this 5 seconds camera view and ad lol
