I had no trouble sharing my [Godot] 11 window, Xcode console, or [IRC bouncer]. But how were they going to view 12 the output on my phone? 13 14 <!-- more --> 15 16 Well turns out it's really easy, and requires no non-default software: 17 18 1. Open Quicktime 19 2. Press <kbd>File</kbd> -> <kbd>New Movie Recording</kbd> or 20 <kbd>⌥</kbd> + <kbd>⌘</kbd> + <kbd>N</kbd> 21 3. Plug in your iDevice (I've only tested with an iPhone) via USB 22 4. Click the down caret by the red record button 23 5. Select your device as the Camera 24 25 That's it! I didn't even need to record anything, as I just used Jitsi's 26 built-in Window Sharing feature to share the screen live. 27 28 If you want to record your phone with something more powerful than 29 Quicktime, you can use [OBS] and select your phone as a Video Capture 30 Device. 31 32 Hope you've enjoyed this post! I know it's a bit shorter than normal, 33 but I'm hoping to post more frequently starting soon as a bunch of 34 [interesting] [things] are happening in and abouts my life. 35 36 [sneak peak]: https://git.figbert.com/sevivon/ 37 [Jitsi]: https://jitsi.org/ 38 [Godot]: https://godotengine.org/ 39 [IRC bouncer]: https://thelounge.chat/ 40 [OBS]: https://obsproject.com/ 41 [interesting]: https://remarkable.com/ 42 [things]: https://www.cyberpunk.net/
