Iriun Webcam for PC and Mac Reviews

This close to being perfect

PotataoSaladPhew

For the life of me I don’t understand why this doesn’t have USB support. It literally would’ve been, and I’m not exaggerating, the premium version of any other cam app here if it had this one small feature with the USB. The problem with WiFi is the lag and the latency. People wouldn’t have minded just plugging in their phone or that just being an option along with the wireless one. Other than that, I love that video quality change is free, I really can’t complain about a lot. But because of that minor problem I will still find myself using the other cams. Too bad, as I really liked the free features here. I’ll give it ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️/2

Good but could be better

I have the app connected from my iPad to my Windows PC. It works nicely if you’re just running the app on both computer and iPad. Problem is that on the computer the program window will be small and you can’t resize it. When I tried using it as a webcam for zoom and jamkazam the results were the same. The visuals in both kept repeatedly blinking from the picture to black. I felt like a stroke warning should have been issued before I made my attempts. On zoom I tried sharing my screen and it worked, but again the screen was small and I couldn’t resize it. I paid $6.99 for screen control on my iPad but there are only a few things you can do: Flip camera, mirror, and brighten. I can’t really use brighten because my iPad doesn’t have a flashlight. I hope that if this app gets funded even more so that there would be more screen control options such as video filters, fix the blinking, and let’s me resize the window on my computer.

Support more than 1 camera

This is a very useful program. Suggested enhancement: support multiple cameras connected at a time (perhaps by running a second copy or by providing a single copy that can talk to multiple instances of Iriun).

Zoom problem, can’t switch to tele cam, doesn’t always connect

Ran this for months as a teacher. Then with some updates Zoom now flickers and makes this unusable. The new desktop app doesn’t always connect, and then there is a race of restarting the app and the desktop app until it works, then it doesn’t. Two stars because it did work and offered HD for free.

Works well for me, one minor niggle

Interesting to read some of these reviews that seem so disconnected to my experience. One of them complains about the low resolution from a wifi connection and the wish to be able to use this tethered. On my old Mac, with the phone tethered and the Iriun software running, I open Quicktime, click “New Movie Recording”, choose Iriun Webcam as the source and I’m good to go at resolutions much better than over wifi. AFAIK this may be the only free webcam app that lets you record in full HD (1080p), so for the price I shouldn’t complain but will anyway (sorry!): It seems you can only record at 1080p when the Quality setting is “Maximum” which means the file is saved as ProRes 422 (at least that’s how it works in Quicktime). That’s great except one minute of recording uses a gigabyte of disk space! It would be fantastic if you could record 1080p at the “High” setting on Quicktime which would use the H.264 codec and save a lot of space. Setting Quicktime to “High” forces the resolution from Iriun down to 720p. I would definitely pay a few bucks to unlock 1080p/H.264. All in all, a nice and simple app that seems to work fine (on Macs at least!). If you can spare the disk space, your phone can now shoot very high quality video direct to your computer while also using your computer monitor as a viewfinder.

Worked perfectly

Being an entertainer, there are 100s of ways to go when doing an online show via Zoom, etc. I did my research and found this app. Last night I used it for the first time, with two iPhone cameras feeding into a PC laptop, and it functioned perfectly. Set-up was almost automatic, and once it was running, it did exactly what I needed. I will continue praising this product to others in entertainer forums.

Amazingggg

I think this app is amazing but please guys... the only downfall I see right now is that I paid for the pro features and I can’t seem to lock exposure like it’s supposed to. There’s no difference between the free version and the paid pro version. Please fix !!

No USB support?

I bought pro thinking there was a USB support.. is there any info on when this will be added

Marginal at best

Down loads & set up were very straight forward, however, unable to resize to fit full screen make it pretty much useless. Look to another app to perform this function; I will immediately off load this product.

Iriun almost Iruined my wedding!

I installed iriun and it worked great the first time I used it . I thought this would be a great piece of software to use for our Zoom Wedding. The second time I tried to use this App it took about 15 minutes to connect. The third time was even harder. On the day of the wedding we couldn’t get it to connect at all! Fortunately , we had a back up plan. Bottom line, this App is not reliable.
