      7 I recently found myself debugging a mobile game I'm working on ([sneak
      8 peak]) with a friend over [Jitsi]. I had no trouble sharing my [Godot]
      9 window, Xcode console, or [IRC bouncer]. But how were they going to view
     10 the output on my phone?

     14 Well turns out it's really easy, and requires no non-default software:
     15 
     16 1. Open Quicktime
     17 2. Press <kbd>File</kbd> -> <kbd>New Movie Recording</kbd> or
     18 <kbd>⌥</kbd> + <kbd>⌘</kbd> + <kbd>N</kbd>
     19 3. Plug in your iDevice (I've only tested with an iPhone) via USB
     20 4. Click the down caret by the red record button
     21 5. Select your device as the Camera
     22 
     23 That's it! I didn't even need to record anything, as I just used Jitsi's
     24 built-in Window Sharing feature to share the screen live.
     25 
     26 If you want to record your phone with something more powerful than
     27 Quicktime, you can use [OBS] and select your phone as a Video Capture
     28 Device.

     30 Hope you've enjoyed this post! I know it's a bit shorter than normal,
     31 but I'm hoping to post more frequently starting soon as a bunch of
     32 [interesting] [things] are happening in and abouts my life.
