iPhone Webcam Apps: Continuity Camera vs Camo vs EpocCam

[@_azurejake]

Pretty powerful stuff especially for those who are not deep in the streaming needs.

[@Riversidefm]

Continuity Camera is especially powerful being built-in to the platform!

[@giogio_7777]

Another additional feature of EpocCam (compared to Continuity) is that it can be used with iPad as well as iPhone. Right?

[@Riversidefm]

That is correct!

[@Igor_Itkin]

Any of these apps working with the Ipad camera?

[@Riversidefm]

Camo works with iPad as well!

[@claudio7557]

Hey brother great video. I have epoc cam pro, I’m now confused which one to use between riverside and camo for recording. Can’t I just use riverside? Why would I need camo?

[@Riversidefm]

Thanks! Camo makes it possible to connect your iPhone as a webcam to your computer. You can also use the built in Continuity camera feature if you're using a Mac and that works with Riverside as well! Either way, Riverside is where you record and invite remote guests, Camp / Continuity Camera is just to connect your iPhone to your computer

[@Mr.HiBuddy]

Can a ipad camera be used as continuity camera instead of an iphone?

[@Riversidefm]

Unfortunately not, Continuity Camera is iPhone only. But using the Riverside app you *can* use iPad as a secondary camera angle! You can learn more here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqCWiXSAbtF-ipY

@@Riversidefm thanks a lot brother!

Hello, when I connect Iphone with PC screen show some green bars and only one half of image

[@Riversidefm]

Which app were you trying to use?

[@radhikam2901]

When you connect your iPhone with your PC, how do you use the back camera as the front lens, because the back camera is way better than the front one. I am unable to figure out where to fix those settings. TIA

[@Riversidefm]

Which method are you using to connect? Continuity Camera automatically uses the back lens, and we have more info on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqjVYnZ9n66MkNEfeature=shared

[@radhikam2901]

@@Riversidefm Thank you. I am now using EpocCam. I think Continuity is for when you have an iPhone and MAC. I have a Windows PC.

[@TheRockNapa]

Do you know of a way to connect multiple iphones for streaming. We use EpocCam Pro but looking for a multiple camera set up

[@Riversidefm]

While this feature can't be used for live streaming, Riverside has a secondary camera feature that lets you record multiple mobile devices' video and download each as a separate track. Learn more here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqCWiXSAbtF-ipY

[@echografix]

IRIUN app allows upto 6 cameras

[@talldave7799]

I have my iphone paired with my Windows PC, running the FREE version on Camo on my iphone! But Zoom is NOT showing the video feed from iPhone and only shows the USB connected camera!! What am I missing to slap Zoom into submission to use the iphone video feed?!

[@Riversidefm]

Not sure about Zoom, but you should try it with Riverside! Works great with us 🙂

[@jonycruz2430]

Can you switch between 2 iPhones using Camo or the 1st app into OBS?

[@Riversidefm]

Not seamlessly like a live video switcher.

[@MSimky]

Does the paid version of Camo provide higher resolution than continuity camera? And are there downsides to upgrading from Catalina to Ventura on a macbook pro 2019? Will it slow down my computer?

[@Riversidefm]

It should offer 4K depending on your device, but Ventura is safe to upgrade on your 2019 device 👍🏼

[@heyjennylee]

Can you use any of these with your iPad as the “computer” ?

[@Riversidefm]

Unfortunately not, iPad does not connect to any external camera.

[@mikepruett1745]

elgato's die out in 2 pc i have it keeps changing you have any tips they dont help at all

[@Riversidefm]

The Elgato camera dies out you mean? Maybe try the Logitech StreamCam?

[@ThaliaPuigYT]

Hi my EpocCam app takes forever to connect to the Laptop app. Am I missing something?

[@Riversidefm]

To be honest, we just announced a new feature that will make it even easier to use your phone as a webcam! Learn more here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h57Se6uuetGom7csi=ic2a98CRW2ZMxTNx

[@MrDJFlyHi]

I tried the camo app and it works when i use my phone as webcam. But the problem is when i use the app for a extended period of time about 30 mins in the audio starts to become laggy while the video is showing nicely.

[@Riversidefm]

We actually have a new solution that should be helpful for you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h57Se6uuetGom7csi=B-NqE0zYpEYKAt1u

[@JottaFrostArtist]

I bought epoccam a while back when i was streaming frequently, it was reliable BEFORE they created and forced the use of the camera Hub. you only needed to instal the driver on the computer and after that you only opened the app and the it got instantly recognized as a webcam. now you need to keep the camera Hub open all the time, it keep crashing, frequently it has trouble finding and connecting the phone even if you do everything right. As a long time user, i can no longer recomend Epocam to buy and elgato does not provide a good support (at least not for epoccam, they did responded alright for other products). I ended up on this video cause i'm looking for alternatives

[@Riversidefm]

Sorry to hear that! Well, Riverside now offers a built-in option for using your iPhone or Android device. You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h57Se6uuetGom7csi=E4XYRwQFyMLy5qmD

[@dileepmaurya7934]

This app troubled me a lot still I could not download it in my iPhone. There is only for mac or pc in Apple Store. How can I download it

[@Riversidefm]

We covered multiple apps in this video, but if you're looking for Camo which is available for all platforms, you can download it here: reincubate.com/camo/

[@NatesAverageLife]

Will this work with zoom

[@Riversidefm]

Yes those webcam utilities work with Zoom, but we'd recommend even your work video calls should be on Riverside 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/onrYeIZjZZmBZ7ssi=YRXg-R6yNqaomgCv

[@chiefmcconnell]

Seems that continuity came or maybe it was just facetime.. but i think continuity came lets you do a combo camera angle forward and a sudo too down of the desk together. I tried it for a min but seems legit. Thanks for the app recommendations!

[@Riversidefm]

The desk view is cool feature for sure! Unfortunately it only works natively in FaceTime or the separate “app” on the Mac

[@FilipeVaz]

hello, these apps have some delay in streaming apps? i few some delay in obs studio but i dont know what to do. thanks for the video!!!

[@Riversidefm]

There may be a slight delay depending on Wi-Fi connectivity and CPU power. Try to use them directly in a Riverside Studio without OBS and let us know if you see any delay there.

[@MIKEx2112]

Using EpocCam pro Looks fantastic with iPhone 15

[@Riversidefm]

It's a great app!

[@dan-e1378]

thx i subbed!!

[@Riversidefm]

Appreciate it!

[@MelaninJay]

Can continuity camera record in 4K?

[@Riversidefm]

No, it maxes out at 1080p

[@DallasRSnider]

I tried downloading EpocCam to my PC and it went crazy.. it was flagging everything left and right.. so I deleted it :(

[@Riversidefm]

Really? Sorry for that experience

[@GourGopalDas]

Unfortunately both applications are not good option. Macbook and iphone sometimes loosing each other when i using this apps -- even if they connected with cable. Also OBS Studio become mad when i use it ))

It does! Here's their support article: help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051786731-EpocCam-Supported-resolutions-and-frame-rates-

[@mafiaproductionshere]

Camo provides 4k resolution now and its free

[@Riversidefm]

Good to know!

[@milenatos]

A warning for everyone who considers Camo, it doesn't deliver 30fps so only use it if you are streaming or are doing stop motion or whatever. I wasted hundreds of hours of work just to realize when I imported the footage into after effects to edit it that Camo assigned fps totally arbitrary, like 17,489fps or even shitty 9,8923fps. The footage is useless and I am so pissed off. I used the paid version but it's not about the money, it's about the work wasted that can never be repeated...

[@SamWeinstein]

Is that still the case? I see 30fps.

[@milenatos]

@@SamWeinstein I don't know, I canceled the subscription and switched to IVcam. It works very well both via cable and wifi.

[@KaiMusicProductions]

@@milenatos I don't trust ivcam i paid for a lifetime then an update came and said I needed to pay again like I had a yearly subscription, and it stuck a gigantic watermark on my feed.

[@milktaster84]

That's an absolute nightmare. I really appreciate you warning everybody about this so no one else has to suffer.

[@zeus3443]

Você usou wifi? talvez através do cabo via iphone funcione corretamente.

[@Montro_Full]

This is basically for webcams and phones. If you have a pro camera you dont need this, as all those same settings are on the actual camera itself and are native, not post.

[@Riversidefm]

That's correct, and we have a tutorial on using mirrorless / pro cameras as webcams here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp24ko1pgbShZqcsi=xb7dF_KrwqLT_JzR

[@easypeasyabcsy7883]

Bla-bla. Any screenshot example to compare?

[@Riversidefm]

All the apps were using video from the same iPhone, so changes in the video are dependent on how you set up each app!

[@easypeasyabcsy7883]

@@Riversidefm Yeah. This video's main purpose was to show the difference between apps. Which have to be set to the best settings :) I just wanted to see the resulting video streams. Thank you anyway! Epoccam is the only option in my case.
