How do we get cleaner audio?
Clean audio matters more than another camera angle. If you can pull audio from a mixer or audio interface, route it into your main device via USB.
One of the main benefits of Apple devices is that they are typically plug and play with USB audio sources!
We encourage you to ask our team about optimizing your audio setup! We enjoy this stuff.
Where are my Local Recordings?
By default, a recording will be available on the main broadcasting device, within the Switcher app. You can access the Local Recordings from the initial Welcome screen.
From the Welcome screen, tap Video Library.
After tapping Video Library, tap the text "Video Library" at the top of the page to reveal the dropdown selection for Local Recordings.
Pro Tip: Once you've located the Local Recordings section, you can create short-form clips for social media or export to your device's Files App or Camera Roll.
How do I remove the Switcher watermark from my stream?
