• Unplug and plug again.
• Change to use another USB cable.
• Change to use another USB Port on your computer.
• Restart both your iPhone and computer.

Cannot connect iPhone using Wi-Fi?

WiFi connection requires both your iPhone and computer to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If the problem still exists, try to uninstall and reinstall FineCam.

FineCam doesn’t work after connecting?

FineCam relies on ‘C++ Redistributable’ to run on Windows computers.

Typically, Windows PCs come with ‘C++ Redistributable’ installed. But sometimes, the file may be lost for some reason. Therefore, you can try installing this necessary file to install Microsoft C and C++ (MSVC) runtime libraries that FineCam requires.

The Microsoft official link to download ‘C++ Redistributable’ is:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

After the page is fully loaded, please download and install ‘C++ Redistributable’ for your X64 computer as the screenshot shows below.

Low resolution while using FineCam?

• Some video chat apps will scale the resolution down if your Internet connection speed is too low or unstable. FineCam can’t change the resolution in this situation.
• Some features like virtual background (remove, blur & change) require a faster computer processor speed (GPU and CPU). Therefore, we scale the resolution down to make your video smooth with lower latency. But you can change the video quality back to high. But notice that high-quality video may lead to high latency.
• If you are using a Wi-Fi connection, be sure the Wi-Fi network signal is in good condition. Or you can change to connect using a USB cable.

If you have a high-performing computer you can set the video quality to be high. On the FineCam Settings panel, you can set the output resolutions up to 1080p, to get a higher resolution. If you are using Virtual Background, you can set the video quality to be high.

Can’t start video error after adding a camera source to FineCam?

After adding a camera to FineCam on a computer, you may get this error. And the main cause may be that some other program or app is using the camera you are going to add to FineCam. And the quick solution is to turn off that program to set your camera free.
