A better camera app
Stream-It is not only for live streams. Use it as a camera app that puts your title, logo and captions on the video while you record, so there is nothing left to edit before you post. Nothing goes live: the video stays on your phone until you share it.
Good for
- Talking-head videos, tutorials and product demos.
- Shop, menu and property walk-through videos with your logo on them.
- Announcements, greetings and short clips for WhatsApp, Instagram and YouTube.
Tips
- Record vertical for Reels and Shorts; switch to horizontal for YouTube.
- Prepare Intro, Main and Outro screens so the video opens and closes cleanly.
- Sit facing a window for soft light, and use a microphone close to you for clear sound.

- Cameras: the production phone's own camera plus other phones that join as cameras, on the same Wi-Fi (no internet needed between them) or over the internet with a camera code or link.
