Operating the Camera Using the Garmin VIRB App

The free Garmin® VIRB® app allows you to control most functions of one or more VIRB cameras using a compatible mobile device. You can control video and photo recording, change video and photo settings, view a real-time remote viewfinder, and view battery and sensor status information. You can also view recorded videos and photos, edit videos, add G-Metrix™ overlays, and share video clips on social media. To download the Garmin VIRB app or for more information, go to garmin.com/VIRBapp.

  1. From the application store on your mobile device, install the Garmin VIRB app.
  2. Select an option:

    • Create a Wi‑Fi® access point using your camera (Setting Up a Wi‑Fi Access Point).

    • Connect your camera and your mobile device to the same Wi‑Fi network (Connecting to a Wi‑Fi Network).

      NOTE: To control the camera using an existing Wi‑Fi network, the network must be set up to allow connected devices to see and communicate with each other.
  3. Connect additional cameras to the Wi‑Fi access point or network (optional).
  4. On your mobile device, start the Garmin VIRB app.

    The app searches for cameras and connects automatically.

  5. From the Garmin VIRB app, select an option:

    • Use the on-screen controls to control recording or change settings.

    • Use the drop-down list to switch to another camera.

      NOTE: This option is available only when multiple cameras are connected.

    • Use the tabs to switch between recording and playback mode.
