Use a Smartphone Camera with OBS on macOS

DroidCam OBS lets Mac users repurpose their phone’s camera as a webcam inside OBS Studio. It taps into the higher image quality of modern smartphones, giving streams, meetings, and recordings a sharper, more professional look without buying extra camera gear.

Connection options

  • Connect over your local Wi‑Fi network for a cable‑free setup.
  • Plug in via USB when you need a more stable, lower‑latency feed.

Benefits of using DroidCam OBS

  • Ideal for streaming, remote presentations, and content creation thanks to improved video clarity.
  • No extra webcam purchase is required — your phone becomes the input device.
  • Integrates directly with OBS Studio so you can treat the phone like any other video source.
  • Designed to be straightforward to set up, so even users with limited technical experience can get started quickly.

A free alternative to consider

Logitech G HUB — a complimentary utility from Logitech — can be a good substitute if you already own Logitech hardware or prefer a desktop-based device manager. It provides device customization and can work alongside OBS for camera configuration and control.

Quick start checklist

  1. Install DroidCam OBS on your Mac and the companion app on your smartphone.
  2. Choose USB or Wi‑Fi to connect the phone, then confirm the feed in OBS Studio.
  3. Adjust resolution, frame rate, and positioning in OBS to suit your production needs.
