Native mobile app versions

VDO.Ninja mobile apps for Android and iPhone or iPad, including local recording, screen recording, USB audio, and advanced mobile camera workflows.

VDO.Ninja also offers native Android and iOS apps for mobile capture workflows. These apps are useful if you want phone-to-OBS video, mobile screen recording, local recording, USB microphone support, or mobile-specific camera features such as ultra-wide lenses and dual-camera capture.

These native apps are still more focused than the full browser experience, but they now cover a useful set of mobile production tasks.

• a gallery for reviewing and deleting recorded clips

iOS-specific highlights:

• dual-camera mixing mode using front and rear cameras together

Current limitations

• The native apps remain focused on capture and publish workflows rather than replacing the full browser-based director and viewer experience.

The iOS build approved on March 1, 2026 includes ultra-wide camera support in addition to the newer dual-camera and local-recording improvements already noted above.

Notes

• If a mobile hardware encoder is unstable for screen sharing or playback, testing &codec=vp8 on the receiving side can still help in some cases.

• Older versions of iOS have more restrictions around screen recording and screen broadcast behavior.

• USB device behavior still depends on the phone, OS version, adapters, and vendor firmware.
