Use the Rear Camera for Higher Quality Recordings (Android/iOS)

To get the best video quality when using My Selftape App, follow this tip:

⏺️ Rear Camera = Better Quality

  • On all mobile devices, the Front Camera (Selfie Camera) records at a lower quality than the Rear Camera.

  • We recommend using the Rear Camera whenever possible when filming your selftape.

  • If you choose to use the Front Camera, your selftape will still work—but will be encoded at a lower quality.
