You don’t need the Blynk libraries installed, as you won’t be running Blynk code on your ESP32-CAM board.
as far as which sketch to use, I’d suggest that you do some searching on the forum, and don’t disregard this comment…

Hello Pete
When you say specifying a port what does that mean? I have looked for any example on what you are speaking about?
any assistance is appreciated.
Wdell
All will become clear when you do a little bit of searching and read some ESP32-CAM related topics on the forum.
You read time since joining the forum is currently showing as 1 hour, try boosting that a little and learn about the subject that you’re enquiring about.

Hello Pete
as it relates to Ports I have port forwarding on so that port 80 is allowed.
Is that what you mean?
Wdell
Port forwarding only applies when you are using the device outside of your local network.
As that’s not currently what you are doing, port forwarding is irrelevant.
As I said before…

All the topic I am seeing is with folks in the same boat as I am in
thats why I am trying to get some help

You have seen alot of folks trying to get a ESP 32 to stream video so you may know exactly where the topic you know I need to be looking at.
Wdell
In the Blynk app Video streaming widget’s URL field enter:
http://[your esp32-cam ip]:81/stream
try that.
If it’s running from within your network, go further and forward an external port, for example 8181, to the internal esp32-cam ip port 81. To acces the stream from outside your network use the URL: http://[your DDNS Ip]:8181/stream
Hello
Do I have to use por 8181? I open that port on my router and did a port check but it came back closed
can I use just 80 or 81 for the external DDns?
Thank you
So you have it working internally within your local network on port 8181 then?
Pete.
Hello
I have it working now both internally and externally using DDns and forward to port 81 not 8181
Thank you for you assistance
