How to Start Dual-Camera Recording Instantly from the Home Screen

TL;DR

Use DualCam's Home Screen quick-start to jump straight into a dual-camera recording — so you catch the moment instead of tapping through the app first.

Steps

Find the DualCam icon on your Home Screen.
Use the quick-start to launch straight into recording.
Frame both cameras and capture.
Preview and save to your Photo Library.

Why it works this way

The videos DualCam is best at — a reaction, a moment on a trip, a spontaneous aside — are exactly the ones that vanish while you’re tapping through an app. Quick-start collapses that delay so you’re recording almost immediately, without losing the picture-in-picture capture that’s the whole point.

Tips & edge cases

Great for reactions and spur-of-the-moment clips where seconds count.
Framing still matters — glance at the preview once you’re in.
Pair it with a saved layout so your setup is ready the instant you start.
