Unfortunately iOS doesn't allow getting apps' audio, check Q23 in our FAQ https://softvelum.com/larix/faq/#q23

This company screwed its customers by taking a free application and then making it a monthly fee. They jumped from the best option, to the absolute worst option. I don’t mind if they make this app a one time purchase, I’d even be willing to spend $100 on it. But I’m not paying a monthly fee just to possess an app. They don’t provide any monthly service, you have to provide your own details into the app. So they are literally collecting free money every month.

Developer Response
Unfortunately we had to add monetization in order to keep improving the application.

The apple video explaining how to set this up is private and cannot be viewed. The video showing the button to stream does not explain how to make that button appear and the button never shows up. Cannot start stream because of this.

Doesn’t work, support videos show a different version

Apples support video has been privated. The one that the app shows has a totally different UI that allows them to start a stream. This app doesn’t have any option to start a screencast.

Developer Response
We'll try to update our video. Anyway, the screencasting needs to be started from iOS, not from our app.
