Get the best Iriun quality in Zoom

  • Use USB — USB gives 1–5ms latency versus 10–50ms on Wi-Fi. For professional video calls, plug in the USB cable
  • Use rear camera — flip to rear camera in the Iriun phone app for better image quality than the front camera
  • 720p for reliability — even the free version at 720p looks sharper than most built-in PC webcams
  • Good lighting — phone cameras perform best with light facing you, not behind you
