Screen capture as Camera (for streaming) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I have seen many apps that can record screen and use main camera at the same time. My Galaxy S7 even had option to use both (rear and selfie camera at the same time).
I was wondering, if there is a possibility for an app, that does screen recording (well more like streaming) and makes it availabe on device as camera.
In Short terms - I would like ability to stream my android screen with second app where i can chose that screen as camera input. As we know, TikTok allows to use front camera and back camera but can not see screen. Would it be possible to make a so called "Software camera source" where input is the whole screen of the phone and output is like a 3rd camera on phone and would be selectable as source on Tiktok app or any other app.

Is it good for video recording?

Hey,
I'm thinking about buying the phone for mainly video recording.
I'd purchase a stabilizer gimbal with the phone, and use it 95% time in wide angle mode to record 4k videos.
As I don't yet have the phone it's hard for me to tell how good it is for that purpose, but I know that i'd definitely need the following things in video mode:
- turn inbuilt stabilizer off
- change exposures
- lock exposure
- manual ISO setting
- manual shutter speed would be nice, but not essential
- manual focus that stays focused on one place
- NO unnecessary focus hunting in automatic mode (God...that ruins so many videos!) - i hope the laser focus works here
These are usually fairly basic requirements for Photography mode, but sometimes they don't include these in video mode.
If they are not built in the default camera app, does other playstore camera app(like "Manual camera") work on the phone with these settings?
I currently have a Moto X Style that I love, but the video features are all automated and many of the above is locked
Thank you all for the answers

So even though there was no answer, I have went to a phone shop and tried it there. I found that in video mode manual settings are not possible at all, which is a big letdown for the G5.
I'm hoping at least that Open camera at least works on it. That should allow manual controls for video too. Has anybody tried it?
Hi!
Open camera is working fine. One of the few apps that also can use the wide angle camera!
When I want to record video with perfect audio I use my zoom h2n recorder as external mic and adjust the audio gain: perfect for rock concerts, etc.
Just buy a USB-C OTG adapter to USB 3.0 (normal size). Then connect the cable from the mic. At last - perfect audio!
the only advanced & working app I've found till date (which can EVEN change options during recording) is Cinema FV-5.
OpenCamera could be used too sometimes, if you dont have something better.
Ive mostly used 3rd party video apps with my G5, instead of the stock camera too, though its hard to find one that will use both lenses.

Smartphone vertical, recording - horizontal

Hey everyone,
I have seen lots of questions like this and everyone is answering like "simply capture video holding smartphone horizontally" or etc, but that is not the answer in this case.
Why I see this is useful? I have a job which includes some extreme situations and actions. It is not allowed to publicly record a video on my job, so I simply put the phone in the pocket of my vest which is to small for smartphone and the camera is uncovered all the time, so I can record a video without anyone knowing it. The thing is that phone in that pocket can only be in vertical position. I use SC-OS3 app which is a "spy cam" app with great functions (while screen turned off You can click volume up to start recording and there will be no signs that could put me in trouble) and great quality videos recording. I already captured some good videos.
So now You know why I ask is there any way to override system settings and record video horizontally (so that it would be wide while I play it on PC for example)... Any ideas guys?
I am on Android 6.0, rooted.

Use multiple camera's at once

Hi,
I'm looking for apps or other modes that can use the multiple camera's on the S10 Exynos at the same time.
Previously my S7 could take a photo with the back and front camera at the same time, this option has disappeared apparantly. It was called Dual Camera mode
Also missing :
- Video collage (4 videos , shot in sequence, as 1 videogrid)
- Virtual shot
- Surround shot
thanks for any feedback

Question how to permanently disable hdr in camera app

Hi,
Since HDR in camera app is producing more or less watercolor like paintings (and don't get me started with the "funny" AI option) is there a way to permanently disable it? It's really annoying to manually disable it every time I start camera app. I usually forget to turn it off anyway and end up with unusable images. And yes, I'm using gcam too but this one has it's own set of problems.
Really, how hard is it to make a normal camera app? Camera hardware is clearly capable of good results but software is so bad it's frustrating.
I agree, the HDR implementation is a mess ! And it's very frustrating because without HDR enabled the app delivers pretty amazing pictures .
As a workaround for now I only use the camera in the expert mode (with all the settings in auto) because in this mode the HDR is never enabled and the picture quality is the same as the standard mode.
