Iriun Webcam for Mac

What Iriun Webcam Does

Iriun Webcam lets you repurpose an Android phone as a webcam for a Mac or Windows PC. It removes the need to buy a separate camera for video conferencing — you can use your phone’s camera for meetings on platforms such as Zoom, Skype, Teams, and other call software.

Getting Started Quickly

1. Connect your computer and smartphone to the same Wi‑Fi network.
2. Install the Iriun app on your phone and the matching desktop client on your Mac or PC.
3. Launch the app on both devices and allow any necessary camera or network permissions.
4. In your video-conferencing program, choose Iriun Webcam (or the Iriun device) as the selected camera.

Video Quality and Compatibility

Iriun supports high-resolution output — including up to 4K on capable devices — so you can get sharper, clearer video using your phone’s optics. It works with mainstream operating systems (Windows and macOS) and integrates with most popular video-call applications.

Benefits at a Glance

• Simple setup that requires no extra hardware other than your phone.
• Flexible use across many communication apps and desktop platforms.
• High-quality video output leveraging your phone’s camera capabilities.
• Intuitive interface that makes switching from a built-in camera easy.

Recommended Substitute

If you’re exploring alternatives, consider the free edition of Camo as an option. It similarly turns a smartphone into a computer webcam and may offer different controls or feature sets that better match your workflow.
