DroidCam OBS
Use your phone as a camera for OBS Studio.
DroidCam OBS is an innovative application that turns your Android device into a versatile webcam for streaming and recording purposes.
Functionality and Features
DroidCam OBS is designed to help those who require a webcam for streaming or recording purposes but lack a dedicated device, or have an outdated one. This ingenious application allows your smartphone to function as a webcam within a few seconds. The setup process is simple: connect your Android device to your PC either by USB or over WiFi, and you can instantly begin streaming video using either the front or rear cameras of your phone.
To fully utilize DroidCam OBS, you will need OBS Studio, a popular open-source broadcasting software, installed on a Windows computer. This is the platform to which DroidCam OBS will connect and stream. Once both OBS Studio and DroidCam OBS are installed, you can easily select the camera you wish to use for streaming with just a few taps, with the option to swap between front and rear cameras as per your preference.
Multidevice Streaming and Energy Efficiency
