Multi-camera videos with the phones you already own

Most people record with one camera, because more angles feel too hard. Shot.video turns your laptop and phones into a multi-camera studio. Scan a QR code and a phone becomes another camera, with no app to install. Press record once. Every angle records in sync, then AI makes your first edit. It cuts to the camera you're looking at and adds zooms, punch-ins and optional B-roll. Change anything you like. Free to start. No card needed.

Hey Product Hunters 👋 I'm Ian, founder of Shot.video.
I've been building businesses and making videos about them for 20+ years.
And almost all of them were one camera, a mic and a screen recording.
Not because I didn't want more angles. I knew they'd make my videos better.
But setting up extra cameras, keeping it all in sync and editing it together? When turning on one camera already feels like enough, adding three more feels impossible.
Then, in the shower one day, I thought: what if you could just connect the phones you already own, press record, and let AI do the hard part?
That's Shot.video.
How it works
📱 Scan a QR code and your phone becomes another camera. No app to install.
⏺️ Press record once. Your screen, laptop camera and phones all record in sync.
✂️ AI makes your first edit. It cuts to the camera you're looking at and adds zooms, punch-ins and optional B-roll.
🎛️ Every choice stays editable. Change any shot you like.
Who it's for
Anyone who explains things on camera: product demos, tutorials, courses, team updates, reviews, podcasts.
You don't need to be a video producer to make videos like one.
Try it free
The free plan gives you 2 Video Credits and 5 B-roll Credits. No card needed.
🎁 Product Hunt special: sign up this week and we'll add 50 extra B-roll credits to your account.
I'd love your honest feedback, especially:
👉 What would you record first?
👉 Where did the first edit get it right, and where did it get it wrong?
I'll be here all day answering every comment.

What resolution and frame rate do the phone angles come out at, since it records through the browser and not the camera app?
Good question. I don't want to guess at an exact resolution or frame rate, but each phone records its camera locally in the browser and uploads in the background, rather than sending it through a live video call that can squash the footage.
In our tests, phone footage is easily good enough for replays and YouTube-standard videos. When an edit cuts between the laptop and a phone—even an older one—the resolution holds up so well you can hardly tell older devices from newer ones. It's more than adequate for polished multi-angle videos.
What devices do you have to hand, and what are you hoping to record?
Does it work with iPad as well? I only have an iPhone and an iPad pro
@alchemist_studio Thanks André, yes, an iPad joins the same way a phone does.
There's no app: scan the QR code or open the join link in Safari and it becomes another camera angle. You start the recording from the studio in a laptop or desktop browser, then your iPhone and iPad Pro join as extra angles.
I'd do a quick test recording first to check the camera and mic. And if you sign up this week, we'll add 50 extra B-roll credits for the Product Hunt launch: https://shot.video
Do you have a laptop or Mac to run the studio from, or were you hoping to use the iPad for that too?
What resolutions are supported?
@ajay_dimbale Thanks Ajay, good question.
When a phone joins, Shot.video asks its camera for full HD (1920×1080), so most modern phones record at 1080p. The exact result depends on that device's camera and browser.
Each device records in its own browser and uploads in the background, so the footage isn't squashed the way a video call would be. Here's how the phone angles work: https://shot.video/blog/use-phone-as-second-camera
What are you planning to record, and which devices would you use?
As a solo dev I record all my own launch demos, and a second camera angle is the thing I always skip because setting it up is a hassle. Scanning a QR and having my phone just become that second camera, no app to install, is the kind of friction-free I'd actually use. First thing I'd record: a walkthrough of my next launch, phone on the keyboard and screen as the main shot — and the AI cutting to whichever camera I'm looking at is the part that would save me the real editing time.
Thanks JC, that's exactly the setup it's built for.
Scan the QR code, your phone joins in its browser with no app, and every device starts on the same countdown so the angles line up. The AI then picks the camera you're looking at, and you can still change any cut.
One tip for launch demos: recordings stop at 10 minutes, so longer walkthroughs work best in parts. And if you sign up this week, we'll add 50 extra B-roll credits for the Product Hunt launch: https://shot.video
Would your phone sit overhead on the keyboard, or off to the side?
congrats!! what happens if one phone drops wifi halfway through, does that angle just have a gap
Thanks Igor, great question.
If a phone drops its connection mid-take, it keeps recording in the browser as long as you leave that page open and unlocked. Footage is sent up in roughly 20-second pieces as you go, so what's already arrived is safe, and the rest retries automatically once the connection comes back. The phone can be on Wi-Fi or cellular.
The other cameras, your screen and the laptop mic keep recording on their own. If that phone never makes it back, the edit just keeps switching between the angles that did arrive, and you can still change any shot.
Keep the phone on the join page until it says Uploaded, that's the bit that matters. There's a short walkthrough here: https://shot.video/#how-it-works
How would you use it? Any concerns about a phone dropping out on your setup?
I tried it and it seemed to work. Need to try more interesting shots than me on the couch waving my hands:-)
Thanks Al, glad it worked on the first go!
The couch-and-hands test is a good start. For something more interesting, add a phone as a second angle: scan the QR code, prop it overhead or off to the side, and the AI cuts to whichever camera you're looking at.
