EpocCam Webcam for Mac and PC for Negative User Reviews
✓ GarbageDon’t waste your money. Seriously. What a waste of my money..Version: 2020.7
✓ Startup was tricky, it works now, but the ads are annoyingAs the title says, startup was tricky, but restarting my laptop did the trick. It works now, but the presence of ads is enough to make it unusable. I need the functionality enough that I’m willing to pay for the ad-free version, but if you’re not then I’d say see if there’s a free one with less insufferable ads.Version: 2019.5
✓ Doesn’t workJust look online for reviews hasn’t been working since 2021 there’s a whole refit about it.Version: 2023.2
✓ Can’t Get it WorkingIt work work for me with Teams or Discord. I’m using a 2020 iPhone SE and a MacBook Pro.Version: 2020.7
✓ Very buggyInstalled and uninstalled twice. Connecting to Windows 10 (yes updated) using Kinoni’s drivers and own viewer/test app. Installed and uninstalled drivers twice too. No joy. Third time worked for a single session. Then not again. Reboot, reinstall... Boo Hmmm let’s try USB! Yup. Worked. Each and every time/launch. But I want WiFi. Yes, I’m connected to the same network. Checked that. But... let’s take even the router out of the equation. Configured static IPs. Want to do that anyway and not be connected to the internet while using it for certain situations. Ooh... it’s working. Great. Closed app and viewer. Had dinner. Hey guys look at this... Opened the app and viewer back up. Not working! Oh come on guys!!!! Can’t you get anything to be consistent? I’d purchase the full product for sound/HD etc. if this actually worked. Doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen. Or I’ll get a response here either. Too bad. Looked promising. I really should rate it one star. :(.Version: 2019.5
✓ Forced ReviewI am more than happy to review an app. But having to rate this app to enable front camera is poor practice. I want to test front camera without being ‘strong-armed’ into a premature review. Faith and confidence in your product should never entail this type of practice, it’s shortsighted. $7.99 seems like a great price and all the reviews are solid so why continue to require a review. An app review is not a right, it is a consumer’s choice if they feel a review is warranted. So to be fair, I’ll disclose I have not fully tested this app to see if it meets my needs. I wrote this review because it was the only way to enable a necessary feature for me to test and determine if I want to upgrade to the $7.99 version..Version: 2020.1
✓ Haven’t had a chance to try itTo use the front camera you have to leave a review, but since I haven’t had a chance to use it yet my review is low, will change once I have a chance to try it out.Version: 2020.1
✓ Extremely difficult to uninstallDecided I don’t need the app but absolutely brutal process to uninstall in MacOS (I can’t figure it out). Feels very malware-y in that regard..Version: 2023.2
✓ ReviewA little glitchy with Windows 10 but otherwise it works great.Version: 1.12.5
✓ Hope it worksHappy to read it but I haven’t used it yet I’ll just give it a five.Version: 2021.1
✓ GarbageUsing with iPhone 8 and MBA and Teams. It can get teams to recognize the microphone but not the video! The video is the whole point to this app!!! Garbage.Version: 2020.7
✓ Doesn’t work, at least not easily.Couldn’t find a fix on the internet for this. After installing drivers I am stuck on Step 1: Get the Drivers. I have them but can’t proceed at all. The only thing it says is you need iTunes to connect via USB. Which I have, and WiFi isn’t even an option. Help is appreciated but I couldn’t find anybody to help online..Version: 2020.7
✓ Will mess up with Bluetooth driversApp worked good on Windows 10 using Skype. But after couple restarts will mess up with previous paired Bluetooth AirPods and will give errors in device manager, which will lead to stereo not working at all. Tested with creating restore point before installing EpocCam drivers and not installing anything. Each time when stereo gone - need to restore Windows 10 again.Version: 2019.5
✓ Zero audio on free versionFree Version doesn’t allow audio, no point in using it. I would rather see better video/audio controls on a paid version but definitely not zero audio..Version: 2021.1
✓ Having trouble and can’t find a fixCan not find a fix.Version: 1.12.6
✓ Good, But UNRELIABLEFirst install on PC, Webroot said it was a virus. Wasn’t too surprised as many other reviews said it was a virus. Something to do with advertising, so I just ignored it. Installation completed effortlessly on both devices. App is very handy for a DIY webcam, especially if you don’t want to spend the extra money on an actual one. There is one problem though, and it’s annoying. The connection between my phone and PC isn’t always reliable. It’ll work for awhile, and then the screen in OBS will go black. Pretty sure it isn’t a problem with my phone or cable because they both work fine otherwise. I doubt it is OBS, because I can unplug my phone and see the three blue dots showing it is looking for a connection. Please fix this issue, it’s getting annoying..Version: 2021.4
✓ Don’t waste your timeInstallation and connection between my iPhone and OBS on MacBook Pro couldn’t be easier than this. I use OBS to record iPhone’s video steaming to capture. However, video quality is very poor and can’t duplicate the quality it shows on their website advert. You just can’t get it. I don’t mind to pay a little extras for the pro version if it will deliver the video quality but no guarantee. I spent too much time to fix it and tried to enhance video quality but ended up with NDI solutions which isn’t free but it works, don’t waste your time here and do more on creations..Version: 2020.6
✓ Why pay for features our phone already has?Setup is fast and easy. That’s great! What isn’t great is that at least with an iPhone X that already has a wide angle and tele lens, we’re asked to buy the app to unlock those features already on our phones. Yet by default, you restrict us to a 4:3 aspect which is so dinosaur and NO ONE USES ANYMORE. This is 2020. Ridiculous..Version: 2020.6
✓ Only adsI paid for this ages ago. Nowadays when I open it, it only shows ads. No way to get the webcam working. Too bad!!.Version: 2020.2
✓ Don’t waste time if you have Mac.For OBS you do not need these apps. Please don’t buy. Tried the free app. Kept dropping the WiFi connection. Said I needed to pay to use usb, which the app description said was available with the free version. Paid to upgrade and I doesn’t work. In OBS I see the feed in can see the video of me moving but it is blocked by a spinning black fan and says “Waiting for connection” never goes away. After 30 minutes of research online I realize... my phone was feeding screen shots to my computer without an app. I can just use the Apple camera app and USB connection. It’s already a webcam..Version: 2019.5
✓ Front camera only available with App Store rating.You’re only allowed to use the front cam after submitting an App Store rating. Since that’s the only reason I want to use it, I can’t submit a true rating of this app’s effectiveness until I’ve tested that feature. Update: it does the job, but I’m fundamentally opposed to ratings blackmail to access features so my rating is capped at a maximum of three stars..Version: 2020.1
✓ Doesn’t workIt just simply doesn’t connect via usb or wifi on my iPhone 12 I’ve tried troubleshooting and it just won’t work.Version: 2022.1
✓ Needs a better connection solution.Difficult connect, Bad instructions, nice windows app..Version: 2020.7
✓ SlowThe lag is ridiculous.Version: 2021.1
✓ Sort of works, not everywhereDoes not detect iPhone orientation so can only be used in one orientation (the opposite of what works on my desk) Popup ads are annoying but as I have to use the rear camera due to the limit on the orientation, I don’t care much (it is the annoying type that depends on you clicking by mistake and throwing you to other places) Under Mac, I got it to work with zoom after upgrading zoom to 5.0.5. Works with Microsoft teams. Failed to get recognized by Skype, even with their signature removal instructions. Didn’t try Webex yet. Doesn’t work with photo booth. Has a button for flash/hd on the free version to send you to the sales pitch page for the paid version. If the free version didn’t use all the annoying tricks for the ads and fake buttons I might have paid for the paid version..Version: 2020.1
✓ PLEASE DO NOT BUYI thought this app was pretty good at first. I wanted to upgrade the quality so I bought the premium membership. That also gets rid of the huge watermark on the image. When I streamed for the first time, there was a massive delay in the video. Probably 3-6 minutes delay and I was not even broadcasting anything to the internet. I was just checking the streaming on my computer. They promised improved quality with the premium membership but it made the quality worse. Not to mention it said 7.99 and the company charged me 12.50..Version: 2020.7
✓ Possibly malicious or ratThe program opens in the background when I wasn’t even using the app and proceeded to use high cpu. Definitely deleting this spyware crap..Version: 2023.2
✓ Update: epoc stopped working properly after first testUpdate 8/3/30: How interesting that EpocCam no longer works after my first test. I had a meeting and my app and laptop couldn’t connect (they are on the same WiFi) and then I used a usb cable and my camera froze once it connected, and not able to use the front facing camera. And the ads are super long when you start up the app. Another update: it works when testing but not when I’m in a meeting/class. It freezes when it first connects. 8/2/20 My MacBook camera is not working (it’s a common problem with my type and the Apple store is closed in my town due to Covid) so I needed a webcam for my Zoom meetings. I tested this app out since it’s been promoted by many bloggers who have tested it and it seems to be working great through WiFi! Of course there is a 1-2 second lag but that’s to be expected. I’m going to see if it works on my work desktop computer via usb. I wanted that front camera working so here is my review! (Leave a review to have the front camera working).Version: 2020.1
✓ Basic features locked by pay wallSetting up the app was remarkably simple - you can even airdrop the installer from your iOS device to your Mac. I did have to restart zoom though to get it to recognize the feed (not mentioned in the setup details). All was going well until I tried to turn on the flashlight - and it was disabled at the OS level (ie, I opened up the control panel and couldn’t activate the flashlight). The developers went out of their way to do this and the only way to unlock it is to buy the paid version. I understand paying for features that developers build, but it’s absurd to pay to unlock a feature that is literally built into the device..Version: 2021.5
✓ Worst app, fake ratingsIt’s glitchy as hell, even though I have the most powerful computer on a planet today and iPhone 14 Pro. (RTX 4090, i9-13900k, 64 GB) Don’t believe this rating, they used bots to get this rate. This app cannot perform its main duty - providing you with a video stream. Asking for refund, otherwise I’ll sue them..Version: 2023.1.1
✓ Doesn’t workDon’t waste your time.Version: 2020.6
✓ DO NOT BUY! POTENTIAL PC BREAKERThe app is not the problem but rather the software on your computer. I downloaded the software from the official site and thought nothing of it. I wasn't too happy with the connectivity issues so I went on to try and delete the software. It took me a good hour to get it off of my computer and when I had done a virus scan, it said it was a Trojan file. I should have scanned the files before I downloaded them but luckily I found videos online and got them off my computer as quickly as I could. For the app, I'm sure it is fine but the software on the computer could potentially give you a very bad virus. My advice is to find another app..Version: 1.10
✓ No Mac Support for TeamsI download this app and would very much like to use this as my primary camera for my Microsoft teams meeting however I have not been able to find any way to do so. They’re only reference to this is saying that it does not currently work. With someone from the development team please give me an idea if this is being planned or if support for Microsoft teams on the Mac should be expected. I would gladly pay for the paid version if this was available..Version: 2021.1
✓ It's a big NO from me...I saw the recent low reviews but, still decided to give it a shot since it was mainly complaints about the program not working on Macs. EPIC FAIL! I installed the app to my iPhone and downloaded the files to my Windows laptop, but I could not get the program to open/run on my laptop, even after un and reinstalling it twice. Unlike most programs, this one did not immediately open once download to my Laptop, with instructions on how to set it up and all the other HELPFUL information needed to NOT waste an hour trying to figure it out. All I continually see is a white page. I'm not even going to bother contacting customer service. But I would still advise anyone to try it out, just to see if it will work for you. (Also, you have to pay if you want to use your phone mic as the audio source)..Version: 2021.1
✓ Faulty waste of space, spam ware.Free version only runs for one minute before dropping out and bombarding the user with casino ads. Very flakey connection. Wouldn’t want to rely on it for videoconferencing, best to skip..Version: 2019.5
✓ Doesn’t work wirelesslyThat’s all.Version: 2020.4
✓ No support for WindowsWasted an hour trying to get it working on my laptop and PC, yet after so much troubleshooting can’t figure out why it is stuck on connecting on my iPhone. Even, Service from task manager is not starting. No helpful forum or support for troubleshooting. Uninstalled!.Version: 2022.1.1
✓ Not worth buying for Mac UsersUntil this app supports Mac Communications software and common business applications like Teams and Skype, it is minimally useful for anyone looking to use it for work purposes..Version: 2020.7
✓ NoMine just won’t work.Version: 2023.1.1
✓ Good but needs improvementIt works fantastic with video calling apps but for YouTube streaming, it’s freezing I don’t know why?.Version: 2020.4
✓ Does not work in the slightestI installed the app on my iPad and tried to get it to work with my Windows 11 PC both wirelessly and via USB cable, neither worked in any way. The app just sits trying to connect to the PC. The PC, running Elgato Camera Hub, just sits there not finding any cameras. The troubleshooting documentation does not know about Camera Hub so has a bunch of outdated instructions for the older driver method. That said, I tried following the information as best as I could, but nothing changed the situation. After about an hour I gave up and uninstalled everything..Version: 2022.2
✓ When it works it’s greatAt first it was great as a backup webcam, but then it started to absolutely overwhelm me with noisy ads. I can’t recommend the free version..Version: 2020.1
✓ Rate before use??I love the idea of this app but have no idea if it will fulfil my hopes. As even though I’ve paid for it I’m not able to access all features until I submit a review. Therefore 3 stars - it might be a 5 star app but don’t know yet..Version: 2020.1
✓ Used to work wellI use this app to convert my iPad to a webcam to switch to whilst using Zoom. Up until about a month ago it worked perfectly. Now it won’t connect, if it does it drops out frequently. Have reinstalled it and the drivers on my laptop. Wouldn’t waste your time. Was going to buy the professional version but have been put off by it’s flakiness now. Pity..Version: 2021.1
✓ THE DRIVERS ARE A VIRUS. DO NOT BUY.Before I got my webcam, I tried this product about a week ago. After realizing it was garbage, I stopped using it. A day or so later, Discord stopped working and I had to get the test build to run it at all. My pc kept crashing when I played games. Yesterday My pc had a blue screen of death with the drivers name in the error message. Today I restarted to reset an adapter that disconnected. The pc would not start up again with more blue screens of death instead of a startup screen, repairs failed, and I am now in the process of factory resetting the machine. I had complicated OBS overlays and 20 HOURS in Satisfactory, a game that takes a lot of patience and hard work to progress. If steam and epic didn’t save your purchases on the cloud, I’d be suing this company. DO NOT USE..Version: 2019.4
✓ Simply DOES NOT WORK on MacBook & iPhoneDoes not work even though I’ve got the latest MacBook Pro 16” and latest iPhone 11 Pro Max. I installed the EpocCam driver first on MacBook as required. Launched the app on iPhone. It tried connecting over WiFi. Nope! So I connected iPhone to MacBook with lightning cable, and then it worked finally... but only worked for 2 minutes before completely freezing indefinitely!! Seriously?? What a terrible app and waste of my time. I even restarted both devices to see if that would help. It didn’t! To add insult to injury it’s not simple to uninstall the driver from your MacBook either. Do yourself a favor and avoid this piece of junk..Version: 2020.1
✓ Won’t connect anymoreThis was working just fine 2 days ago and now, no amount of troubleshooting will get this to connect to my computer. I have gone through every step on your site, and uninstalled/reinstalled all programs and the app and still nothing..Version: 2022.2
✓ Would be great if it workedTested the non-pro version out and it worked great, so decided to pay for the “pro” version, now it doesn’t work for longer than a few seconds before showing the connecting screen. Elgato’s “ Customer Service” is just a collection of articles and a bot that keeps sending you to the same setup guide. So only way to register my displeasure with this app is give it a much deserved 1 star review..Version: 2021.1
✓ It’s not working anymoreIt worked for a couple of hours, but now nothing will read that it’s here, EVEN THOUGH IM USING USB! Discord, google meets, zoom, even OBS doesn’t read that it exists. The help guild is no help, since both the required things are working, but still nothing! I NEED THIS FOR SCHOOL! Until it gives better troubleshooting tips, this sucks.Version: 2020.7
✓ Wouldn't connect wirelesslyWouldn't connect wireless y Camo a competitor connected immediately after scanning the qr code in windows.Version: 2023.2
✓ I wish it was less in your face with buy me nowHonestly just give me 10 minutes of pro features to see if I like it and I will decide to buy it.Version: 2020.1
✓ AbhorrentSoftware is terrible. Connection is unstable and requires computer restart every disconnect. Useless..Version: 2021.3
✓ The app is not working.The app is not working at all, I used it on zoom, it just showed the first shot on camera view..Version: 2020.3
✓ Great appWorks well over wifi and USB but being unable to rotate and being low quality, plus having ads without a paid version has lost it two stars..Version: 2020.1
✓ The only thing that works is the ads! 🙁I downloaded the free version of EpocCam to my iPhone XS Max to see how it works in making my iPhone work as a webcam for my iMac and MacBook Pro. I would have been happy to pay for the full version had the app actually worked. After installing the drivers on both my Macs, and rebooting in case that was the problem, and with everything on the same WiFi — and even with my phone plugged in with a USB cable, EpocCam free just didn't work. In Zoom, EpocCam doesn't even list as a webcam option. In Chrome, the EpocCam is listed as an option, but the video freezes the moment you choose it. My iPhone, iMac and my MacBook Pro are all running the latest OS, so that's not it. On my Macs, the EpocCam driver notifies me faithfully when I plug my phone in to USB and start the app in my phone. That shows me the Macs and phone are communicating via EpocCam, its just not working. Maybe it's not supposed to work on the free version, but there's no way I'm going to pay if I don't even know it's going to work. I just wasted all this time, and now I have to figure out how to uninstall their useless software from my two Macs..Version: 2020.1
✓ A dead appThis app does nothing & will not pair with my Mac regardless of the how to videos & troubleshooting section. Will not pair with Zoom either..Version: 2021.2
✓ Just don’t get it.Plagued with ads, horrible connectivity and false reviews (scroll down or up to find them, there’s about ten in a row, all from gibberish iCloud usernames). I followed the instructions and downloaded the drivers and spent about 15 minutes straight connecting my phone and my PC, with the end result being malware and no connectivity. Don’t fall for the scam and do NOT get it..Version: 1.12
✓ Testing this out but not true review yet.Giving this a shot since filmora only gives 2 options for iPhone, this or another app, to use as a wireless webcam so we shall see. I’ll update the review once I get more use of it. But off the bat, I think it’s kinda low that they don’t give you use of both front and rear facing cameras in the free version. I think that should be standard but definitely is not here. I’m also assuming I can’t connect wirelessly until I upgrade because when I try to click the wireless icon it does nothing. I’ll try it out and update once I have used it more but it looks like I have no choice but to upgrade to use the features I actually need..Version: 2020.1
✓ Cannot download driversI downloaded the app, then went to the apps website to download the drivers and the SSL certificate has issues. There can be many innocent technical reasons for this, but it could also mean that the site connection has been compromised and I might be downloading malware to my Mac or PC.... so obviously I haven’t. If you fix this I will revisit this, but for now, I feel that this is a basic technical issue that they should have solved and doesn’t give me much confidence about their focus on security..Version: 2020.1
✓ Borderline MalwareAfter much mental debate, I installed the driver on my Windows 10 workstation. It immediately started consuming 100% of my CPU resources. 6 cores, 12 threads. My machine became completely unusable. I couldn’t even open Windows settings to uninstall it because it was unresponsive. I had to reboot into Windows Safe Mode to be able to uninstall it. I am kicking myself for being so trusting of a system level driver from an unknown company. Never again! The only reason I don’t call it full-on malware is because it does appear to have uninstalled. I can’t find any further traces of it, but I sure am worried..Version: 2019.5
✓ Epoccam good luckMy first go around was not great. I installed the window driver and the app on my phone. When I started the epoccam viewer, I only had a white screen. Did some research but came up with nada. So I uninstalled everything. Later I decided to give it another try. But this time before I installed the window driver, I closed all other programs. This time things work as they should. However, the next day it was back to showing s white screen even though the driver said that my phone was connected. Uninstalled everything and reinstalled. Still doesn't work. Looks like it's a crap shoot..Version: 2019.5
✓ FrustratingI tried this free version of the app for a few hours but the constant ads are particularly intrusive and the video quality reminiscent of the sort of web cams that were standard 20 years ago. Also rather rude to ask you to leave a review before you can access the front camera. Nevertheless it was just about usable enough to convince me to upgrade to the paid version of the app, which gets rid of the ads and unlocks higher resolution video modes and other useful features..Version: 2020.1
✓ EpocCamKept disconnecting.Version: 2020.6
✓ Seems ok - but support on mac os relies on app developersI needed this for zoom meetings - but the latest version of zoom doesn’t support virtual webcams so this only works indirectly via the screen share feature which is a bit of a hacky workaround. I like that you can also connect directly via USB..Version: 2020.1
✓ Ad Overkill on 2nd useSo I just downloaded this app as my Mac doesn’t have a camera. On the first use, it looked good. I closed the app, re-opened it because I was trying to flip the camera on my iPad (haven’t discovered if or how to do that yet), but immediately full screen ads started showing up on the iPad which were annoying because you have to watch them to regain access. Then I receive a message saying “rate the app to start using front facing camera”. I can’t confirm, but I’m expecting that if I want the ads to go away, I’ll have to make an in-app purchase. Overall it’s cool. Let’s see how it works with Zoom, but I’m annoyed with the immediate annoying full screen ads already..Version: 2020.1
✓ No audioI can’t find any info on whether this should be sending audio in addition to video. If it can’t, this is going to be useless to me. I installed and reinstalled but it does no send audio from my phone to PC. Is it supposed to? Most Webcams contain a mic, so this is not a replacement for one if it doesn’t. If you have a direct connection instead of WiFi, there should be no lag issues so at least offer that. If I’m not doing something wrong, the. The app description should clearly state video only. Giving it a 3 for lack of audio information or troubleshooting..Version: 2023.2
✓ EpocCam reviewThe free version seems to connect better with the cable connected to the phone. But when I use zoom and switch to the EpoCam it does not show my face on zoom. I think it would be better to get the paid version for better quality and usage..Version: 2020.1
✓ TerribleDoesn’t connect.Version: 2022.2
✓ Great when working. Connection is hit or missWhen it works, it’s great. When it doesn’t, it’s frustrating and you end up resorting to the crap laptop camera. I’ve noticed the camera app always has a hard time connecting to my laptop when I need to use it 😑 even with USB connection. They’ll play ad after ad after ad and when it comes time to connect, the phone will remain searching for the pc WHILE LITERALLY CONNECTED via USB. The ads I get. The lack of successful connection, I don’t. I’ve troubleshoot it many times...still hit or miss. Hopefully an update will get this sorted, as this will been helpful in distance learning..Version: 2020.1
✓ It’s fine but…This version of the app has essential features locked, reserved for the upgraded Pro version. Alright, no problem. The upgrade is less than $10 and you only need to buy once. Except it’s actually a completely separate app, instead of the same app with all features unlocked. Again, fine. Or so I thought. Long story, truncated: After months of trying, I’ve never been able to get the Pro version of this app to connect to my computer. I’ve tried all connection options, reinstalling app, reinstalling computer software, rebooting, alternative software from same company, checking drivers, anything i could think possibly think of to no avail. I thought maybe it’s just the version number, I can’t be the only one, I’ll just wait for the company to update, and with any luck, it’ll be fixed. Nope. So if you don’t mind being limited to only some features while being constantly reminded of what you can’t do, and your recordings proudly displaying an ugly watermark, Epocam is your app..Version: 2023.1.1
✓ Have to rate to use?App doesn’t appear to work without first rating it. Hard to rate unless you can see it working..Version: 2019.5
✓ Only wifi on windows? DumbOne star. No option to work on the same network without wifi which is stupid in 2021. No way to get it to work with a hardwired setup without bad USB is a downgrade over even a go pro 😂. Bad bad bad app I will support a better developer..Version: 2021.1
✓ Only rating so I can use front camera2 Stars because I despise apps which require a rating prior to giving its users the opportunity to experience the app we’re being told to rate. The installation went fine so far, but the back camera on my phone is broken and Kinoni requires I submit a rating in order to use the front camera with the “free version” of this app. I will update my rating and review if after actually using the app I feel its functionality and usefulness outweighs my feelings toward this requirement..Version: 2020.1
✓ Doesn’t work for video calls via Teams or Zoom. Just a big add.The app is riddled with non stop full screen adds that makes it practically impossible to use. While I can get a stream to my pc, I cannot get MS teams or Zoom to recognise source. Audio does not work at all. Waste of time. Also needs to be wireless so forget it if your PC is connected via Ethernet and/or you don’t have strong wifi. Was a waste of 1 hour and 3 computer reboots to install, reinstall and then uninstall the drivers..Version: 2020.1
✓ Unstable ConnectionI've tested this with multiple devices but I get the same results: The connection sometimes doesn't occur and you have force close and relaunch the app on both devices again and again until it connects. When you connect, on my Windows device, connection notification keeps popping up, and whenever notification pops up, camera feed freezes briefly, meaning that it keeps loosing the connection and makes the feed very very laggy. All these connection problems make the app unreliable. You cannot change the resolution or quality of the video and you cannot record within the app. There's no annoying floating watermarks by the way, just one in the corner..Version: 1.13.2
✓ Horrible AppWaste of time and it did not work but instead had lots of problems..Version: 2021.3
✓ Using iPad mini as webcamThe quality looks good using rear camera, but for a webcam I need to use the front camera. Pity this didn’t default to front camera, otherwise may have been better rating..Version: 2020.1
✓ Won’t connect to Camera Hub, wired nor wirelessI’m using an iPhone XS Max and Windows 10. I’ve fully uninstalled and reinstalled twice, tried WiFi and ethernet both, all available configurations of USB ports and Lightning to USB adapters and nothing happens. Camera Hub just stays on the connecting screen as does the iPhone app. It seems like most of the elgato support/YouTube videos are for the driver-only install, before the Camera Hub app came out. Maybe this is just a bug or something, but it definitely does not work for me according to current install instructions..Version: 2022.2
✓ Okay appI use it everything works fine it is just they add a watermark to the video..Version: 2022.1
✓ Too greedyPhysically the point of use for a web cam is to show video and AUDIO WHICH IS LOCKED BEHIND A PAYWALL WHATS THE POINT OF A WEBCAM WITHOUT AUDIO FUNCTIONALITY Just use a third party app yes it’s not from a proper company but hey it still works BASICALLY I bought this to use as a mic on discord and stuff because my webcam stopped working and you think I would use something official like this NOT A SMALL APP also this can be used very well with an external mic BUT WHY IM INSTALLING THIS IS TO USE AS A MIC so yes this could maybe be a five star if used with an external mic or paid for so yes it is good quality however unless you buy their “pro” version you better have an external mic because I’d idk you’re using it for more than discord and works for a business or school or something THEN YOU WILL NEED A MIC IF YOU WANT THIS TO WORK OR AGAIN BUY THEIR “pro” VERSION if you have the mic YES USE IT or have the money to buy a BASIC USAGE OF A WEBCAM test of course use it anyway I better shut up and let my review just get ignored as it won’t be viewed but if someone sees this just keep that one thing in mind.Version: 2021.4
✓ Worse than computer camI‘m teaching fitness courses through zoom, and there are issues with lagging, so the video and audio don’t always synchronize. I thought having my phone as a camera might help, but a simple test run shows poorer video quality. I have to upgrade for better 😡 I‘m not paying if I don’t know if the quality will be better or not! And stupid ads keep showing up, which makes it difficult to transmit a video. Don’t recommend unless you plan to buy the full version..Version: 2020.1
✓ Just used itTrying to use it for an online interview.Version: 2020.1
✓ Does the jobSo far it appears to work, however The front facing camera feature is locked until i provide a review. Which I’m not impressed with at all because it is the primary use I require it for, and I can’t provide an honest review until I actually use its purpose. Feature blackmailing isn’t cool, especially when it’s such a heavily advertised feature..Version: 2020.1
✓ GlitchWhen I open up both the apps, the viewer glitches and freezes up.Version: 1.12.7
✓ Don’t start an online meeting until your sure it’s stopped feeding you advertsSetup on a Mac was clunky, I had to bypass a scam warning from my isp to reach the installation package and the video help is from a much older version of Mac OS. After a restart I could connect to the camera from the Mac, but no sooner was it working than the app started playing me loud video adverts. As things stand I have little confidence that it won’t do so again during a web meeting. A pity. This could have been a great experience with some up to date FAQs and sensitive use of adverts. As it is, I suspect it might be useless..Version: 2019.5
✓ Almost all the great things are in the paid versionI need to post a review to use the front camera, that’s literally why I’m writing this. Also, the camera is 720p which is pretty good but definitely not as great as advertised. The great quality one is for the paid version. Also, the “your iphone as a speaker and microphone” is also in the paid version.Version: 2020.1
✓ Mixed resultsHave used without problem for a couple of days, but then today it wouldn’t load properly - got stuck on a black screen with circles beaming out around an icon of my iPad, but nothing happened when I tapped on this icon, so it effectively stopped working. Reinstalling to see if it works better now..Version: 2019.5
✓ Works ok but instructions are poorI downloaded this to use with Zoom after my MacBook camera failed. It does the job but the adverts and watermark are irritating, and there’s no mention of how much the upgrade costs. What the instructions don’t tell you us that you also need to download the iOS app for your phone. Obvious in hindsight but it took me a few minutes to think about it..Version: 2020.1
✓ Free version is okIt’s a bit basic. You have to review it to get access to using front camera. And it has annoying ads and also has advertising constantly on your webcam that everyone can see.Version: 2020.1
✓ Nickl66Seems like a good app. I have got it to work with zoom in wired mode - using lightning to usb cable from iPhone to MacBook - so no issues with WiFi connection. Would probably give it more stars but for the irritation of it being disabled until you write a review. If this seems reliable I may even pay for the full version! Maybe the developers should consider a timed usage before limiting the camera use - you may find your ratings improve..Version: 2020.1
✓ Better than paid version of the app?!Could be good but both this and Epoccam Pro are annoying to be honest. Strangely this one works better than the Pro version, which keeps disconnecting, which is useless if you're streaming. And both seem to require a lot of cpu which is strange. And it's seriously cheeky to force you to write a review just so that you can use the front camera! But it's a good concept and when it works it's great..Version: 2020.1
✓ Mac Support?Pretty good app but without Teams support for Mac it’s not very useful to me..Version: 2021.1
✓ STAY AWAY!! Horrible app, don’t worth the risk.You CANNOT uninstall the software you need to install on your Mac. The uninstaller and command prompts DO NOT WORK. Even after speaking to support multiple times, they refuse to tell me how to manually remove the software. It may as well be malware...don’t risk it. Hopefully I can save a few of you the trouble I’ve experienced. Support will not help you remove it. So install at your own risk. If you do install it...good luck..Version: 2020.4
✓ Won’t connectWhen ever I open the webcam it stays in the trying to connect screen it and won’t connect no matter how times I try to fix it.Version: 2021.5
✓ A frustrating beginning.So, I had tried the Wi-fi solution offered, and the wired solution offer, and I never got the connection. I kept seeing the connection visual, so that confused me as to whether this would work or not. What finally worked was connected both devices to my extender, a TP-Link RE450. That worked. I just tried again using my TP-Link A7 V5 router, and it worked there too. I thought that the traffic was prohibiting things. I want to encourage my other teachers to use this, but I don’t think they will find the set-up process helpful. First of all, I never did get an icon on my device (Apple Mac Pro 2017), I had to go into finder to see the the plug-in. I also had to go to my system activity page to see it was working. Your suggestions did not work, but opening up Microsoft Teams and UberConference did. Sadly, no integration with Discord. I am now encouraged to buy the full version to see how well that works there. I want to recommend the free version to my students. I think they will appreciate it..Version: 2020.1
✓ It’s good…when it sporadically worksIt works great when it works…but there have been multiple times where it suddenly stops connecting for weeks at a time. I use the full, paid for version. (Yes, I’ve updated everything & still find this to be a common problem). In the middle of one of those times now. I don’t want to buy a webcam yet in case it suddenly starts working again. Frustratingly & randomly unreliable..Version: 2021.3
