Android Devices

With app version 13.14.0, the Switcher Remote Camera app turns your Android device into a wireless, remote camera angle for Switcher.  With it, you can create more dynamic, engaging, professional-looking videos and live streams. Note: Android devices can be used as cameras but cannot be used as the main Switcher device to run the production.
