Four Steps

1. Connect your iPhone to Your Computer

You can use your WiFi network, or a lighting or USB-C cable to connect your iPhone to your computer.
To use WiFi, make sure your iPhone and computer are on the same WiFi network.

Tip - A cable connection tends to produce the best video quality with the best stability. Your studio/classroom tripod kit includes a lightning cable, with a USB-C adaptor.
