4.3. Android Device Specific Settings

For certain Android phones (e.g., Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Realme), you may need to enable OTG (On-The-Go) power supply in your phone's settings if you encounter connection issues.

If your default camera app experiences issues with the external microphone, download and use a third-party camera application like 'Open Camera'. In 'Open Camera' settings, navigate to 'Video settings' > 'Audio source' and select 'External mic (if present)'.
