So, I have recently bought this app to use for my phone to use as a webcam for my streams. Unfortunately, I can not connect it wirelessly to my PC, which is a huge bummer cause I bought a nice tripod for my phone (Iphone XR) and I can't even get the app to work. Now I did get it to connect using my mac, but the only problem with that is the fps is atrocious and my mac doesn't have all the required specs for it to run smoothly. Any help on how to get it to connect to my PC would be much appreciated as I would love to use this to my advantage to use my phone as a face cam, but it just doesn't seem to work.

One start because it should work more than it does.

All names pretty much taken

This doesn’t work all the time. Like it will work but it freezes and sometimes also just doesn’t connect to my computer. I’d give it more stars but coming from an established company you’d think there would be more support.

Did not work for me.

Was excited to use this software. But after following the instructions and downloading the NDI. The program failed to deliver. Could not select my iPhone XR

Invalid Broadcast Session

@Elgato, what sort of product is this. Why is everything you make such a headache to use and why is there no where to find Answers. I have the pro edition of screen link and it won’t hold the screen for longer than 2 seconds. Or the screen is just black. I’ve played with the incredibly limited settings you have in both the App and the 4K Capture Utility on the PC and Nothing is making it better. Also why do I need to Download the 4K Capture Utility? Why isn’t this a part of the Game Capture HD Software? Please Respond. I want this to work.

Great idea, poor execution

Elgato, you have a great idea on your hands, but it’s extremely undercooked. After buying Pro, I’m very disappointed with what comes with it. Now, unlike some people, I was able to get it to work first try on my PC and iPhone X. However, the issue I see for is how poorly everything is done. You let me use my camera, yet I can’t get it to connect to Streamlabs OBS or even regular OBS for use as a webcam. On top of that, the lag is unbearable. I have a very high internet speed, with the router in my stream room and wired into my PC, and I still get seconds of lag in between. Also, why can’t I rotate the camera? What streamer uses a portrait webcam? I feel like all of these can easily be fixed for a much smoother experience. Allow us to have a wired connection to the PC, that way we aren’t constantly losing battery and it can eliminate a lot of the lag. And if you coded something into the software in 4K Capture that allowed the Screen Link to be recognized as a webcam, that would be amazing. And please, add the ability to rotate the camera in-app! This would solve a lot of the issues and I would wholeheartedly recommend this app. But for now, I’d say you’re better off waiting for them to address these issues.

I hope this update fix this app

I really hope this update fix the app cuz I feel i just wasted my money buying an app that doesn’t work. I have a good internet connection and it doesn’t work to me.

IF this app worked, it would be great. (It doesn’t)

I’m going to try to be as fair as possible because it’s listed for free and that is the only reason it isn’t a one star review. Setup was easy. Took less than five minutes to get it recording and broadcasting to OBS on my desktop. That’s when you begin to see just how poor this app is from a quality standpoint. I have fiber internet and consistently test upwards of 90 Mbps down and 75 Mbps up. The stream from the iPad is often delayed 10-15 seconds from the iPad to OBS (ridiculous). This affects the quality of stream to such a degree that this alone would be a convincing reason to avoid this app. The far, far more frustrating issue is the frequent, unavoidable error that occurs so frequently you might have just made a clicker game because that’s what it feels like whenever you have to dismiss the error dialog box “Live Broadcast to Screen Link has stopped due to: Attempted to start an invalid broadcast session” and then restart the stream. There is no troubleshooting to fix this. You feel happy when this doesn’t come up after two minutes, as it often decides to stop streaming within a minute of starting. The devs need to fix this before offering a PAID version with no evidence that the free version even works.

Didn’t work
