Ratings and reviews

I have been searching for a way to both record and stream video using Android devices and this app does almost exactly what I need, but I am struggling to integrate it into Open Broadcast Software (OBS) Studio. If this app had some features that integrated into OBS Studio, it would be a powerhouse for entry-level multicam video streaming and production. Android devices are cheap, powerful, and accessible and could be the perfect solution for those looking to do multicam recording without dropping thousands into traditional equipment. Needed features would be LAN based management of local recording status, time synchronization, camera focus, and zoom; perhaps including this management directly into OBS Studio. DroidCam OBS has some nice features and easily integrates into OBS, but I don't believe does both streaming and recording, which is a must for redundancy (if WiFi fails, you need local recording to be able to piece together a video at the end). There are countless live events (local musicians, churches, schools, etc.) that could create well put together, professional looking recordings if they had an application that could leverage multiple Android devices as a multicam solution.

Larix Broadcaster is much simpler and works. However, Astra Streaming Studio has a lot more promise and a lot more configurations; however, Astra SS has the following issues for me on a Samsung Galaxy Note - no audio, exposure is way off when changing environments, either way too blown out, or way too dark. I would be willing to pay for an app, not using an IAP as google is buggy at best for me.

Full featured & Super Simple. Easily connected silky smooth video to my Owncast server via RTMP. After you set it up it's just one button to start streaming. I streamed for 2 hours at 1080p over cellular and only took a 7% hit on my battery. All and all a great streaming app with lots of features.
