How to Add a Video Source in Sikocam: First Feed Walkthrough

Adding a source is the moment Sikocam becomes your camera. The walkthrough below follows the order we use on every test phone, starting from the build published on Sikocam official site. If the app is not on your phone yet, the Sikocam download page is the short way to fix that.

Pick the right media

Open the source picker and choose from your gallery: a video for motion, a still image when a calm, fixed frame serves you better. Short, clean clips behave best. A video that stumbles in your gallery player will stumble as a feed, so preview candidates in the gallery first and promote only the files that play cleanly.

Think about what the other side sees for an hour, not for five seconds. A tidy desk scene, a product shot or a simple branded card all hold up; a shaky handheld clip gets tiring fast.

Frame it like a camera shot

Use the preview and the framing tools to place your subject where a camera subject would sit: centred or deliberately off centre, with headroom that looks natural. The preview is honest; what it shows is what WhatsApp, Zoom or TikTok will receive.

Our guide to framing, crop and zoom inside Sikocam goes deeper on composition once your first source exists.

Test in one app first

Open one app you actually use and run its camera check. Confirm the feed appears, plays or holds as expected, and that the framing survived the trip. If an app still shows your real camera, close it fully and reopen it; apps that were already holding the camera keep the old source until they restart.
