FAQs
What is the best camera for Whatnot streaming and card breaking?
The NearStream VM33 and VM20 are top-rated cameras for Whatnot sellers. Unlike standard webcams, they feature 10x Optical Zoom, which allows you to show card corners and serial numbers clearly without pixelation (digital zoom). They also support native vertical video (9:16), making them perfect for the mobile-first Whatnot interface.
How do I stream top-down for card breaks on Whatnot?
To achieve a professional top-down "God View," use the NearStream Camera Desk Stand combined with a VM20 camera. The camera mounts securely at a 90-degree angle, and the accompanying app allows you to flip the image orientation instantly, ensuring your cards appear right-side up to viewers.
Can I use a professional camera with the Whatnot app?
Yes. While the Whatnot app is mobile-based, you can use professional cameras like the NearStream VM series by connecting them to your computer (PC/Mac) via USB and using OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) as a virtual camera. This allows you to broadcast high-quality, zoomed-in video directly to your auction.
Why does my phone overheat during long card breaks?
Smartphones are not designed for continuous 4K video encoding and high-brightness screen usage for hours at a time. This causes them to dim the screen or shut down to protect the battery. The NearStream VM33 is a dedicated streaming camera with active cooling and AC power support, allowing you to stream 24/7 without overheating.
What equipment do I need for a professional card breaking setup?
The recommended "Ultimate Breaker Kit" includes:
Does NearStream work with TikTok Shop?
Yes. NearStream cameras have a native Vertical Mode that streams in a 9:16 aspect ratio, which is the required format for TikTok Shop, Instagram Live, and YouTube Shorts. You can stream wirelessly via the NearStream app or wired via USB.
