Android Setup

The Vendivo Android companion is still in store-release preparation and is not a public customer download. The planned minimum is Android 10. Formats, lenses, 60 fps modes, and 4K support will depend on the specific phone and selected camera.

First launch

1. Allow Camera access.
2. Allow notifications so Android can display the required foreground-camera status while streaming.
3. In the validation build, tap Check My Setup for the guided connection test, or tap Start Streaming when the Mac is ready.

The phone does not begin sending video until you tap Start Streaming.

USB

1. Use a USB-C cable that supports data, not a charge-only cable.
2. Connect the phone directly to the Mac when possible.
3. Unlock the phone.
4. If Android asks which app should handle the USB accessory, choose Vendivo and allow it.
5. Tap Start Streaming.

The planned customer setup does not require Developer Options or USB debugging. Those settings are currently used only when installing internal validation builds from Android Studio.

Some manufacturer security features can block USB accessory mode. Keep the phone's protections enabled when possible; use Wi-Fi if a work-managed or security-restricted phone does not allow the accessory connection.

Wi-Fi

1. Put the Android phone and Mac on the same local network.
2. Open Vendivo and OBS.
3. On macOS, allow Local Network access for both apps.
4. Tap Start Streaming on Android.

Internet speed is not the important measurement. Wi-Fi quality depends on the local route between the phone and Mac. Prefer 5 GHz or 6 GHz, keep the Mac on Ethernet when practical, and avoid guest networks or access-point client isolation.

Cameras and orientation

The companion is designed to use the camera-switch button for front and rear cameras. Vendivo reads the phone's camera sensor orientation and applies the correct stream rotation without a model-specific device list.

If a camera is sideways or upside down:

1. Stop the stream.
2. Return the phone to the intended portrait or landscape position.
3. Start streaming again.
4. If the problem repeats, report the phone model, Android version, selected camera, and orientation to support.

Account access and Pro

Vendivo offers a 14-day full Pro account trial with no payment card required. Eligible accounts activate it explicitly in Account Center; creating an account alone does not start the trial, and it does not charge automatically. Trial or paid access does not make the unreleased Android companion available.

The offers are $59/month founding access during the first 30-day launch window, $79/month for new subscribers afterward, and $950 lifetime access in batches of 25 with a total cap of 100. Founding subscribers keep their rate while continuously subscribed. Account Center confirms current availability and workspace eligibility before purchase. If you purchase during a trial, billing starts immediately. See plans and trial details.

Current Android audio behavior

The planned Android launch path sends video only. Choose a separate microphone in OBS or the destination app. The forthcoming iPhone companion is designed to optionally publish phone microphone audio to OBS.

If Android does not appear

• Confirm the phone is unlocked and Vendivo is open.
• Confirm you tapped Start Streaming.
• For USB, approve the accessory prompt and try a known data cable.
• For Wi-Fi, confirm both devices are on the same non-guest network.
• In Vendivo, run Setup & connection check.
• In Camera Home, choose Add to OBS after the Android stream becomes available.
• See Troubleshooting for logs and support details.
