- Worth noticing
- The browser demo uses six simulated cameras; robotic-camera control and on-phone face blurring are labeled experimental.
Field notes
The described setup pairs phones with one Mac or Linux computer and puts setup and show controls in a browser dashboard. Its readiness line is meant to check the computer, OBS, network, and phones together, then identify problems and suggested fixes. The page also describes QR-based phone onboarding and recovery from frozen video or Wi-Fi loss; these are project descriptions, while the public demo uses simulated cameras.
