All Mevo cameras include a physical power button. By default, this button is used only to power the camera on and off. However, you can customize the button to perform other actions, such as starting a recording or launching a stream — ideal for quick access without needing to open the Mevo app.
Compatible Cameras
- Mevo Core
- Mevo Start
- Mevo Plus
- Mevo (1st Generation)
All models support this feature, though available actions may vary slightly depending on your firmware version. Make sure your camera and the Mevo Camera App are up to date.
How to Configure the Button
- Open the Mevo Camera App and connect to your camera.
- Tap the settings icon (gear wheel).
- Navigate to Mevo Settings.
- Under the Mevo Button section, tap Action.
Available Button Actions
- Record to microSD Card: Starts and stops a local recording to your microSD card. Ideal for offline capture or backup recordings.
- Stream: Launches a live stream using your most recent streaming configuration. The same platform, privacy setting, and quality level will be used.
- No Action: Disables custom button actions, leaving the power button for turning the camera on or off only.
Best Practices
- Keep your firmware up to date to ensure compatibility with button shortcuts.
- If using Record to SD card, verify the card is formatted correctly and has sufficient free space. You can format your card from the Mevo app or a computer using the exFAT file system.
- When choosing Stream, be mindful that pressing the button again will immediately end your broadcast — no confirmation screen will appear.
- Use “No Action” if you want to avoid accidental recordings or streams during travel or setup.
With the customizable power button, Mevo gives you faster control over your content creation. Whether you're streaming a live event, recording for later, or keeping things simple, this small feature can save time and make your workflow smoother.
