For external cameras, you may need additional software or drivers, such as Canon's EOS Webcam Utility or Logitech's Capture. Consult with your manufacturer.
Virtual cameras can be used to control your video input through an encoder. Popular options include OBS and Ecamm virtual cameras.

Restream Studio can only show what your browser can detect. You can visit our camera test tool or this website to check if your camera is detectable by your browser.
Check if your camera is listed among the options on those tools. If yes, it will work in Restream Studio. If not, please consult with your camera's manufacturer.

What does "auto" mean in my video resolution?
What does "auto" mean in my video resolution?
Auto means that your camera will be set to the maximum available resolution based on your live stream quality setting. For example, if you set your live stream quality to Full HD, we automatically set your camera quality to Full HD, too.
You will also see a quality indicator on the top left corner of your stream preview. This label will display your stream's resolution, like 720p or 1080p.

If your video input looks horizontally flipped, it would be because you've chosen to mirror your camera. To turn it off, click the ⚙️ gear icon under your stream preview in Studio. Then, click the Video tab and toggle off Mirror camera.
