Camo Studio – Stream & Record 4+

My current set up:
-iPad Air 5th Gen with M1 Chip
-Elgato HD60S+ Capture Card
-PS5
-Audiobox Go Interface
-A Samson XLR Mic
-A Logitech Brio
-An aux cable connecting from my tv to the interface
-Generic USB C Dock

I love this app! It’s something I’ve been waiting for since Apple announced their new line of iPads running their M series silicon chips. Camo Studio and the team behind it do not disappoint!

Some things I’d like to see addressed:

-Multiple audio inputs (or forcing mono input). I understand that there are constraints to the iPad and iPadOS. Given my setup, my interface can combine two different sources, that being my microphone, and my TV’s aux output, however it can only capture in stereo. So when I record or stream, my audio comes out with my voice in one speaker, and the gameplay from the other. I wonder if there’s a way to force the application to record audio in mono?

-My face cam shape. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t seem to have the option to change the shape of my camera feed when trying to create a scene from scratch? It’s just the circle. I can see the option in the tutorial videos, but can’t seem to find them myself. This also might just be a me issue, but I find creating a new scene entirely to be a bit confusing to start? This is given I’ve used OBS Studio for years now on traditional computers.

Overall, great experience. I look forward to seeing where the team takes this app moving forward.

Hi there! We're absolutely thrilled to receive your 5-star review! Your positive feedback truly means the world to us, and we're overjoyed to hear that you're enjoying Camo.

Regarding your inquiry about mono audio support in Camo Studio for iPad, we want to inform you that it's not currently supported. However, our engineers are fully aware of the demand for this feature and are diligently working to include it in future updates.

If you ever have any further feedback, suggestions, or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team at [email protected].

I use this app to play games via consoles while on the go, as well as use as a monitor for PC/Mac. It does exactly that however I have two issues that can be overlooked or worked around but ultimately would make the experience better if these can be worked out. The first is input lag; which isn’t terrible, but it’s there. You can very easily play something like Red Dead, Animal Crossing, Sims, Civilization etc with little to no issue, but don’t expect to be playing your best games in Street Fighter or Smash Bros. The other issue is very minor and I would assume very easy to fix; and that’s the visibility of the status bar and info bar on iPad. While using this app the time and battery percentage are always visible and don’t hide like when you are watching Netflix or other viewing apps. In addition to that, there no way to truly go “full screen”. I understand that doing so would technically be cropping in and removing some data but in most games you simply adjust safe zones and HUDs are fine. I would love if I could truly fill my display with the input content and remove the status/info bars. I would rate 5 stars if that could be fixed. Input delay would be awesome, but I understand that is a much more difficult task to remedy.

Hey there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an in-depth review, we really appreciate the feedback and support! In regards to the input lag, it can highly depend on your setup and we'd be happy to hear about your setup and see if we can recommend some improvements if you reach out to us at [email protected]. We've also noted down the request to hide the status bar so we can take a look at potentially adding it to a future update!

This app is helping me get one step closer to fully using my iPad Air 5 as a full laptop replacement. I have but one complaint/bug I’ve noticed in the scene editor. When I import an image, such as my logo, I cannot fully control the size of said logo. If I try to change the size horizontally, the aspect ratio is locked, so every other dimension is locked in. I should be able to adjust the size of the logo image in every direction without the aspect ratio being locked.

I can easily use my Maonocaster E2 sound board for sound and my Canon M6 Mark II with my Elgato HD 60S+ for video, and it is all perfect. If I can just import my logo in editing scenes, and not have it aspect locked, we are golden.

Hey there, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us such a kind review! Unlocking the aspect ratio should be significantly improved in the next update for Camo Studio for iPad. In the meantime, you can unlock/lock the aspect ratio by either long pressing the image in the sidebar or in the editing canvas.
