I know vMix was limited to SD on android phones, but 320x240 isn't even SD, how can I get 16:9 video of at least 720x480 (preferrably 720 but I'll take 480). I'm trying to use vMix as a sideline camera, but 320x240 is too awful quality to even consider it, any way I can force it to run at 720x480 or higher? I'm running the Note 8, and will be running the Note 8 and Iphone 8 when on location.

Hi,

In the Chrome settings menu on Android if you select Request Desktop Site for vmixcall.com
you will be able to send at up to 1280x720.

Note that this is very CPU intensive on Android, so battery life will be severely limited and the frame
rate will be quite low on many devices.

On the iPhone however, this has hardware accelerated encoding so it can stream the full 720p
without affecting battery life.

Regards,

Martin

when asking questions about mobile devices you really need to specify that handset in question. They vary so much, especially on Android. Some are very powerful, while others are quite limited.

I did mention the Note 8 and Iphone 8 in my original post, you're right, phones have a wide variety of specs and capabilities.

I cannot find Request Desktop Site on Chrome app settings. Maybe they changed the label?

UPDATE: Desktop Site

vMix 23 (current) and Pixel 4 over local Wi-Fi.

Call Manager Stats

Select Desktop Site in Chrome on mobile.

Select Desktop Site

vMix 23 (current) and Pixel 4 over local Wi-Fi, when using "Desktop Site."

Call Manager Stats when using Desktop Site.

The Pixel 4 does get warm, which suggests that the battery will not last very long.
