Canon’s latest app has nothing to do with its cameras

Canon has announced the ‘Live Switcher Mobile’ app, designed to let you livestream from multiple iOS devices, providing multiple angles “without the need for special equipment or complex wiring.” ‘Special equipment’ apparently also includes Canon’s cameras, as the app will currently only take in videos from iOS devices.

Let’s break down what using the app will look like: you’ll have one iOS device – an iPhone or an iPad – that acts as the control device. Using it, you can switch between wireless video streams coming from multiple iOS devices, and from the host device’s own cameras as well. You’ll also use the device to manage your stream, adding and adjusting layouts and overlays that include text and still images. The company says it’ll also be able to show you user comments.
