How to Change Phone Camera Settings for External Microphone (Works for ANY phone)

  • EDIT: This quit working so I had to upgrade to the LG V40 ThinQ (it is spectacular), which I now use for all of my video filing and editing. The best part is the amount of data it can hold (up to 2 TB micro sd card) and the resolution/speed of the device.
    V40 Smartphone: amzn.to/30wBnyO
    512 GB Micro SD Card: amzn.to/2XH95iW
    Everything basically works the same as the LG G5 did, but much better and with a built-in telescope lens. I would highly recommend investing in the V40 if you are having troubles (as many of you are now in the comments). Technology evolves rapidly and the apps work best when you upgrade every two or three years. Comment below so I can get feedback!

    Bro this is the most useful video of the DAY!! I was searching for a way to change the audio record to external mic, but the other videos where given me useless info.. I got really mad. until I saw your video (your thumbnail was perfect) so I clicked it. not only did I solve my problem, I found a USEFUL camera app...
    I'm truly grateful, thanks for 100% true content, I shall leave a sub and like 😇

    Just bought a pair of wireless lav's for some video production. After about an hours worth of tinkering and research, I figured out that you need a TRS to TRRS cable. Plug the TRS side (two lines on the jack) to your lav transmitter and the TRRS side (3 lines on the jack) into your phone and your regular camera app that came with your phone will work just fine. Luckily my lav setup came with the appropriate cable.

    I bought a Rode Video Mic ME, and I was getting nuts with the mic "not working" when recording videos. I was so frustrated because is not a cheap mic. I was in the middle of returning the mic, then started recording using a regular voice recorder and noticed that it worked great with a voice recorder app, so I figured out that my mic was fine and it has to be something in the camera app. Thanks to your video I'm keeping my mic :)

    Thank you. I know the video was posted a long time ago, but like other users here, I've been struggling to find a solution using my default camera. Sadly, I had installed Open Camera a few months ago, but didn't explore it as a solution to my problem. Thank you again! A five year old post. It's the post that keeps on "giving".

    I do Live Music Shows on Face Book and my listeners complain about poor Audio Quality. Can you suggest a way to enter external audio input in my Mi A3 mobile from my sound system..? And which App can monitor the Audio Level of such audio input to my phone..? I have a Roland Sound System wherein I play Music Track and sing along on Mic. At present the Audio is received by my Mi A3 phone's inbuilt speaker and streamed live...BUT the quality of sound is not good to the ears of listeners...Please suggest a way to improve...Thanks..
    The Roland Speaker is a simple item...Cube Lite Monitor...It's Audio can be sent through it's headphone socket only...
