User Reviews for EpocCam Webcam for Mac and PC

The only thing that works is the ads! 🙁

I downloaded the free version of EpocCam to my iPhone XS Max to see how it works in making my iPhone work as a webcam for my iMac and MacBook Pro. I would have been happy to pay for the full version had the app actually worked. After installing the drivers on both my Macs, and rebooting in case that was the problem, and with everything on the same WiFi — and even with my phone plugged in with a USB cable, EpocCam free just didn't work. In Zoom, EpocCam doesn't even list as a webcam option. In Chrome, the EpocCam is listed as an option, but the video freezes the moment you choose it. My iPhone, iMac and my MacBook Pro are all running the latest OS, so that's not it. On my Macs, the EpocCam driver notifies me faithfully when I plug my phone in to USB and start the app in my phone. That shows me the Macs and phone are communicating via EpocCam, its just not working. Maybe it's not supposed to work on the free version, but there's no way I'm going to pay if I don't even know it's going to work. I just wasted all this time, and now I have to figure out how to uninstall their useless software from my two Macs.

Neat app. And free.

I just downloaded it and am getting used to how it works. It’s outputting an SD signal (4:3 instead of 16:9), which is less than ideal, but it certainly will get the job done when I need an extra angle.It only sends the video to my computer when the app is active on my phone, which makes sense. It installed two virtual cameras on my computer (probably front and back, though I can’t test it yet bc the front camera is currently locked), and I don’t know whether you can use both at the same time or not. If not, then I’m anticipating some difficulty switching between them on the fly. It says at the bottom that if I review the app, I can access the front camera as well, so here’s hoping that works.

Forced Review

I am more than happy to review an app. But having to rate this app to enable front camera is poor practice. I want to test front camera without being ‘strong-armed’ into a premature review. Faith and confidence in your product should never entail this type of practice, it’s shortsighted. $7.99 seems like a great price and all the reviews are solid so why continue to require a review.An app review is not a right, it is a consumer’s choice if they feel a review is warranted. So to be fair, I’ll disclose I have not fully tested this app to see if it meets my needs. I wrote this review because it was the only way to enable a necessary feature for me to test and determine if I want to upgrade to the $7.99 version.

So far....

At the moment, it doesn’t work. I start the app viewer on my computer and all I see is a blank white page. It doesn’t have controls on it like it shows in the video of how to setup. I’m sure once it works it is probably awesome, but at the moment, it’s worthless. I’m not computer illiterate btw. I’ve done quite a bit of writing my own computer programs, at one point using machine language. So it’s very likely not user error. I will work on it to see if I can correct the issue and get it working and post back if I do.Update...After uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them, it magically started working. Sometimes that’s all it takes but so weird it didn’t install correctly the first time. Anyway is working perfectly now and even for lower quality video being sent over (limit being it’s the free version), it still looks great. Very impressed.

A free app thats actually free but worth paying for

This app is very promising even for a free app. it is usable it's not demo crap where The only downside is the occasional not to intrusive ad. There's a bit of a connect delay then once it's up and running it runs pretty well. The best part is you can run thit in to camtwist And have a whole lot more fun!! like a roving camera Live feeding a projector with video effects. It Has a few bugs and clerks here and there but it's my number one pick for sending video from my phone to my computer live. I haven't really used it for anything but I still feel like I want to buy it ( it would be nice if there was a sale, I find I'm impulsive purchasing in the under three dollar range). I don't know what else to say I've been looking for something like this for a long time.

Good but confusing

When I first got this it was very promising. Automatically detects devices and connects on the same WiFi? Awesome! You can use it anywhere within WiFi range and with pretty good quality for a free software. Of course it would’ve been nicer to have a free 720p or native phone camera resolution but I’ll take what I can get. Users should only pay for filters that they could apply, or more recording features like slow mo. The. UI is so simple that it is confusing, I would want helper messages to get my phone connected more smoothly. It took many tries and I’m sure next time I use it, it will take more repetitive tries because it isn’t predictable. All in all though a good free webcam.

Works pretty good

I am using this on google meet when I want to show my class what I am drawing or writing. I don’t mind that there are ads because I put the phone in its holder get it going and you don’t see the ads on the meet. I have noticed when I have the camera set on my computer viewing me my face never buffers or lags. When I change my camera to EpocCam I notice what I am doing on the screen does. Annoying when I have a bunch or first graders saying my screen isn’t moving or changing. I was nervous so I stopped using the app for this purpose the last couple of days. I started holding my board up after I wrote. I want to figure out why it was doing this. I am using an Iphone with my MacBook.

Great little app

My laptop is connected to three external displays through the docking station and I keep my laptop closed while I’m working. It was a hassle to open my laptop to be able to use the camera every time I have a meeting. A quick online search and Epocam was suggested to use my phone camera as a webcam. The process is super easy, in less than 5 minutes I had Epocam installed on both my Windows 10 and my iPhone. I have been using it for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meetings, Skype and GoToMeeting. I have been using it for 2 months and have zero complaints. Plus it’s free. 5 stars for me

It's a big NO from me...

I saw the recent low reviews but, still decided to give it a shot since it was mainly complaints about the program not working on Macs. EPIC FAIL! I installed the app to my iPhone and downloaded the files to my Windows laptop, but I could not get the program to open/run on my laptop, even after un and reinstalling it twice. Unlike most programs, this one did not immediately open once download to my Laptop, with instructions on how to set it up and all the other HELPFUL information needed to NOT waste an hour trying to figure it out. All I continually see is a white page. I'm not even going to bother contacting customer service. But I would still advise anyone to try it out, just to see if it will work for you. (Also, you have to pay if you want to use your phone mic as the audio source).

Update issues

This app was working great prior to an update a few days ago. I was using it for online school and it worked fine as a webcam. The update came out and overhauled the look of it, it looks nicer now which I appreciate. However, it now doesn't stop my phone from going into sleep mode after a few minutes. This makes the app useless since I can only use it 4 minutes at a time or else I have to constantly be tapping the screen to make sure it doesn't turn off. I hope this is just a bug, since I really like using this app. Not sure if it doesn't do this on the pro version. PLEASE fix this!
