Best app for Teslong borescope

My teslong worked for a few months on my laptop, using teslongs program.
Now, the video works for a few seconds, then freezes on the image.
Has anyone else had that issue, and fixed it?
Don't know if it's the scope itself, or the program to run it.
Thanks.
You shouldn't need an app for your laptop. I have run mine on Chrome and at least three different generations of Windows without problems or apps. Plug the Teslong in, open the resident camera program (it's the one that controls the camera for 'Zoom' and other programs) that came on the laptop and choose "external camera" (maybe labeled differently depending on laptop brand). Usually a small selection that pops up in the lower left corner of the screen upon opening the program.
 
I have the issue with my older Mac laptop.

Occasionally, it plugs in and runs just fine; other times, it 'shuts down the device using too much power' through the USB port. I just close the Photobooth app, and re-open a couple of times, and it works after that. I haven't really figured out why it does it.

Following, same started happening on 2nd use, screen goes black.
 
I use OBS Studio, a Free and Open Source software for any computer OS, any USB camera, and any portable device. This app is extremely feature-rich and is used most for video content production, similar to Sony Vegas Pro. It is very tekkie and not for the faint of heart but it will most likely have everything you'll ever need from an app for your scope. https://obsproject.com/
 
Thanks. I think I found one.View attachment 1198251


Anyone want to buy a Lyman borescope?
Lol! I even offered to give my Lyman away to someone if they just paid shipping and had NO takers! Fortunately the Teslong is very affordable, readily available in many configurations, and produces excellent images. Unfortunately, the Teslong has turned the Lyman and Hawkeye borescopes into paperweights.

PS: I use the MoView app on my iPhone and have never had any issues.

I had trouble with the app on my new tablet, but it worked on my old one. It worked with my lap top just using the camera switching to the teslong. Then i got one of these, just works easier not dealing with apps or laptop.
