iPhone
Stream in portrait or landscape — OMTake now rotates the video for vMix automatically. Faster NV12 capture, settings remembered between sessions, smoother stop.
OMTake is the first iOS app to stream live video and audio using the OMT (Open Media Transport) protocol — the open-source alternative to NDI developed by vMix/StudioCoast.
Connect your iPhone as a wireless camera source to vMix or any OMT-compatible receiver on your local network. No additional hardware needed.

Version 1.1 — Orientation-aware streaming & faster pipeline
NEW
Orientation-aware streaming — hold your iPhone portrait or landscape
and OMTake now sends the correct orientation to vMix and other OMT
receivers in real time. The on-device preview stays locked in portrait
so your framing never jumps while you shoot.
NV12 capture pipeline — the camera now captures in native biplanar
YUV (NV12) instead of BGRA. Lower CPU load, less heat, and more
headroom for sustained HD/UHD/4K streaming.
Persistent settings — resolution, frame rate, OMT quality, source
name, mic mute and camera selection are saved automatically and
restored on the next launch.
IMPROVED
Smoother stop/restart — fixed a UI freeze that could occur when
stopping the stream, with additional race-condition guards in the
sender lifecycle.
Sharper watermark — now drawn directly on the Y plane, no extra
color-space conversion.
Refined top bar — better spacing and safe-area handling on notched
and Dynamic Island devices.
Better camera handling — improved tap-to-focus and pinch-to-zoom
across front, back, ultra-wide and telephoto lens switches.
Thermal feedback — clearer status display when the device throttles
under sustained load.
COMPATIBILITY
Now iPhone-only (iPad target removed to focus on handheld camera work).
Thanks to everyone testing OMTake on real vMix setups — your feedback
shapes every update.
