Product summary
DroidCam OBS Plugin is a Windows utility that lets you use a smartphone as a webcam inside OBS Studio. It links a phone’s camera and microphone to your desktop streaming software so you can capture higher-quality video and audio without buying dedicated camera equipment. This makes it a convenient choice for streamers, remote presenters, and anyone who wants better video output using the devices they already own.
Main advantages
- Microphone passthrough from the phone, so you can use your mobile device’s audio feed in OBS.
- High-definition video streaming from the phone’s camera into OBS Studio for clearer visuals.
- No extra hardware required — uses your existing smartphone and a simple desktop plugin.
- Free to use, providing a cost-effective way to boost production value.
Installing and getting started
- Download and install the Windows plugin for OBS and the companion app on your smartphone.
- Connect the phone to your PC either over Wi‑Fi or with a USB cable, following the app’s connection instructions.
- Add the DroidCam source inside OBS Studio and choose the phone’s camera and/or microphone as the input.
- Adjust resolution, frame rate, and audio settings in OBS as needed to match your stream or recording requirements.
The setup process is straightforward, and once connected you’ll see a live feed from the phone inside OBS that you can resize, crop, and layer like any other source.
Who benefits most
- Content creators and livestreamers who want improved picture quality without purchasing a webcam.
- Remote workers and presenters needing a quick upgrade to their video meetings.
- Anyone seeking an affordable method to integrate mobile camera capabilities into desktop broadcasting workflows.
Recommended alternative
If you prefer a different option, try the DroidCam Client (Free) as an alternative desktop solution. It provides a similar phone-to-PC camera connection and may suit users who want a standalone client rather than an OBS-specific plugin.
