    I got the live preview working, but after a short time the picture of the preview freezes. Below are the relevant parts of code.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. void Start() {
    2.         Everyplay.SharedInstance.FaceCamRecordingPermission += CheckForRecordingPermission;
    3.         RequestPermission ();
    4.         _recordingStarted = false;
    5.     }
    6.  
    7. private void CheckForRecordingPermission(bool granted) {
    8.         if(granted) {
    9.             Everyplay.FaceCamStartSession();
    10.             Everyplay.FaceCamSetPreviewVisible(true);
    11.         }
    12.     }
    13.  
    14. void Update () {
    15.         if (Everyplay.FaceCamIsSessionRunning () && !_recordingStarted) {
    16.             Everyplay.StartRecording ();
    17.             _recordingStarted = true;
    18.         }
    19.     }
    Is anything wrong with this? The test device is an iPad 4 Move with iOS 8.1.3

    The code looks about right. However changing Everyplay.FaceCamSetPreviewVisible(true); should be called before FaceCamStartSession. In your code that does not really matter since preview is enabled by default. I will try to replicate this if I find a matching device. What Everyplay SDK and Unity version were you using?

    I fixed the order just to make sure, but the problem persists.
    EP SDK: 1950-1310
    Unity: 5.0.1f1

    I will try to replicate the problem on another iOS device tomorrow.
