Description
If you've ever wanted to use your iPhone camera as a video & audio input to stream using OBS Studio, we've got you covered. We've tried all the apps that let you do it over WiFi, but they're not fast enough, so we also allow you to use a wired USB connection.
QUALITY VIDEO
Your iPhone/iPad camera's are good, really good. In fact, there’s no comparison between the highly recommended streaming webcam, the Logitech C922 HD Pro and the iPhone 6 Camera. Stream Landscape or Portrait video.
AUDIO
If you don't have a separate mic for your streaming setup, you can now use the microphone on your iOS device to stream audio & video.
FRONT CAMERA
Stream a selfie with the front camera support. Switch anytime during the stream with the familiar camera switch button.
TAP TO FOCUS, PINCH TO ZOOM
Controls just like you're used to from the Camera app.
MANUAL CONTROLS
Take control of the focus, exposure, white balance as you would on a manual DSLR camera.
LOW LATENCY
Stream video over a wired USB connection. This avoids the issue of delay over wifi, as many other solutions suffer from. This is just as fast as a USB webcam!
USB & WIFI
Choose the connection type. If you want low latency, use USB, if you'd like portability then use WiFi. WiFi is done using the NewTek™ NDI® protocol, so you can use Camera for OBS Studio with any NewTek™ NDI® compatible receiver.
REMOTE CONTROL
Control the app from your web browser on your computer. No need to have access to the device anymore to line up that shot perfectly.
MULTIPLE DEVICES
If you're lucky enough to own multiple iOS devices, use them together and produce a multi-camera stream.
MAC AND PC
Supports OBS Studio running on macOS and Windows.
You will need to install the OBS Studio iOS Camera Plugin from our website, or use an NDI compatible receiver to use this app.
For the best possible experience make sure your device is listed on our website https://obs.camera/docs/faqs/#what-ios-hardware-do-i-need

Cjohnson6,
A huge improvement !!
I use OBS to make videos and I had bought a web cam for it. But the image was not sharp and the biggest issue was that green screening in OBS was a nightmare. Getting a good result was extremely fickle requiring filter adjustment depending time of day and outside light coming in. I always assumed OBS chromakey filter just was not that good.
After reading about this app I decided to give it a try. It took just minutes to set up and get a video feed. Wow! the picture from an iPhone really is a magnitude of order better than a good webcam! Then I decided to try the chromakey filter........as soon as I turned on the filter it was perfect! The default settings have a great image. No need to spend 5 minutes tweaking the filter settings!
I really really did not want to spend 15 bucks for the App fearing it would not be any better than what I had with the webcam. But it turns out this was money well spent!
Installation really was a breeze, I use a USB connection. Can’t speak for the WiFi connection. But it was very quick and simple and the improvements in image quality were huge!

Anthony Newett,
Irreplaceable!
I noticed some low reviews for this app, and I can only assume that this person has other issues that were unrelated to this app, and they jumped the gun. Trust me when I tell you... during the quarantine, I was forced into a position to learn (quickly) how to stream our worship service at Forks United Church of Christ in Stockertown, PA. I’m their A/V Tech as well as Music Director. I quickly discovered OBS, but was extremely disheartened by camera quality. I tried multiple webcams... and I mean decent ones. I even purchased a game capture device and tried using my Sony HD camcorder. It was noticeably better, but latency was an issue, and the video still lacked what I needed. This app is incredible. The iPhone cameras are SO much better than moderately priced webcam options. I love it so much, I purchased an iPhone 8 from eBay just to use as a second camera. Even at $200, it’s far better than any option in that price range. Here’s the best part... I ran into a slight technical issue, so I emailed Will. He was incredibly helpful and extremely nice. I love this app! Get it!
streamer_dude,
Awesome solution for iOS video
This app is great, especially because it offers hardwire connection via USB! There are other OBS solutions for iOS that use NDI over Ethernet, but this can quickly lead to bandwidth problems and force you to sacrifice stream quality. (I personally use a bunch of other many media protocols over Ethernet besides OBS so I am very happy that this app exists for a solid wired USB option.)
Although the instructions advise to use Apple lightning cables, I have connected successfully via third-party cables and USB extension cords so you can really space cameras out around the room for a real production studio feel. The instructions also offer a disclaimer that iPhone models 5S and earlier may have encoding issues, but I have used the app successfully with 3 iPhone 5S’s simultaneously streaming at 1080p
All around great app, bridges the gap between iOS cameras and broadcast software for a very low price! To achieve the same capability with enterprise-level iOS broadcast software costs hundreds of dollars a year in subscriptions. Keep up the great work guys!!!

Fralcon,
Not sure why people don’t like this, it’s great
I have tried several of the options out there, including paying for epoccam. None of them are as easy to use as this one. Yes it’s expensive, but the developer gets to choose what it costs. If you want it, you pay. If you don’t, walk away.
This is also the only app that I could get to send 1080p from my phone to the mac. The other option I tried could not get obs to receive it that way.
For people thinking you can use this to get obs to send your phones video to skype, why would you think that? This app is specifically for getting the video to obs. Obs to skype/zoom/etc is entirely different functionality, called virtual webcam. The devs of this have nothing to do with that. There is a plug-in for obs to serve as a virtual webcam. It’s not available for Mac, but currently being worked on to be brought in natively to obs. But it makes no sense to slam the developer of this because of a lack of that feature in obs.

MasterMichio,
What I’d love to see...
The app works great overall. I’d love to see one possible feature developed though. During livestreams for my band we use 4 phones to give different views (one overview, one for each bandmate) but the view in each is a static field of view. It would be REALLY something if there was an extension of the app to allow each camera to randomly zoom in for closeups once in a while—just to give a bit more visual dynamics to the livestream. A 5 second zoom in for a closeup, then pull back out to full frame. We are playing so we can’t control the cameras—they are fixed frame. It would add a bit of dramatic flair to the footage if that feature was added. The controls would include speed of zoom, extent of zoom, and perhaps have it react to transients in the audio feed to go “monkeycam” when the music gets really frenetic.
Maybe someone else will do this first in their app. I’d love yours to be the first to do so though!

Simple, easy, high quality webcam. Worth it!
This app is a no brainer for anyone looking for a new webcam, or even just wanting a higher quality webcam. With a spare iPhone, or even your own iPhone with this app, it’s incredibly easy to get running, and you don’t need to buy any new hardware! Just follow the directions on the developer website, everything is laid out right there. Once you get a successful connection, it just works! I have only used the USB connection as that really makes the most sense so you can charge your iPhone at the same time while using the fastest quality connection. For anyone wondering whether you can have another app running while this app is in the background (e.g. twitch chat), you cannot unfortunately do that. However, using a spare iOS device solves this. Overall, fantastic app and amazing developer with quick responses to questions. Thanks Will!
Miliation,
A great asset, ruined with its price tag
This app features an all-encompassing package of great tools to have a great video source in OBS. It is highly customizable and also provides an audio source for your comfort. Both the USB and NDI method works flawlessly and causes no inconvenience.
This app used to be a great help to me when I participated in my online classes and I used to use my brother’s iPhone which had this app in it. Unfortunately, the app is now using a subscription business model and the lifetime plan costs about 7 times more. I definitely understand the maintenance costs of this app but I can’t afford it now with my country’s ridiculous exchange rates.
Despite the pricing, I definitely recommend this app for those who can afford it. And at last, I appreciate the developer for making this possible.

Neosaurus69,
Does not seem to support iPhone 13 Pro Max in Windows 11
I got my phone and was pretty excited to put it to use as a webcam. So, I bought this software (OBS is great and I’m sure this will be resolved), and my computer seems to forget my phone exists after any more than a couple minutes. I have to restart my computer for it to recognize my phone again, and again… I can only get it to stay connected and transmitting signal for a couple minutes. I have “Trusted” my PC, I’m using the cable that came with my phone directly plugged into my motherboard, I’ve installed new Apple Mobile Device drivers, I’ve installed iTunes from an executable, I’ve flashed my BIOS, and I’ve updated chipset and Thunderbolt drivers, and this problem still remains. I think this is an iTunes/Windows problem, as my phone also disappears from iTunes when I experience this issue, but it still means I am completely unable to use this application.
Fshnslv,
Need better directions for NDI connection
I’ve scoured the web on help and resources on connecting my iPhone using this app to connect with OBS on my Windows 10. I have downloaded OBS v25.0.8 and this app v3.0.3 and the NDI plug in v9.0. I still can’t find my phone as the source under NDI in the studio. I made sure that I’m on the same network, I don’t know what else to do, all the resources and FAQS and videos I’m coming across is using NDI HX as the app and I don’t want to shell out another $20 to get it or the articles detail more on the USB connection from phone to computer. I figured getting the camera app from the same developer as the OBS would be less hassle getting it set up. I’m planning on streaming multiple views and I need one of the cameras to be mobile or on hand to use as my perspective and I’ll be moving around a lot. Anybody out there, please help!
BillyParagon,
NDI doesn’t allow controls, USB is laggy
Not even an MVP. It used to work great but over the past 2 years of updates it’s gotten more broken. USB mode allows full camera controls but disconnects often and lags even in lower bandwidth settings over USB-C to a thunderbolt 4 port, totally unreliable.
NDI mode sends the app into a lockout mode where OBS actually works better than USB but does not allow manual camera controls, not even camera switching (wide, telephoto, ultra wide) these are the basics necessary for use and they are not available.
I also notice that anytime OBS is open, the app will go into connect mode and begin transmitting the camera to OBS even when not in use. I was sitting at my computer and felt my phone getting extremely hot in my pocket and realized connect mode through NDI turned itself on when OBS launches.
In conclusion, the app has potential but it seems the developers don’t have a grasp on actual use case scenarios that have glaring issues in functionality. I wouldn’t even go to market with this version personally. Please create tickets for USB connectivity issues and more importantly: create tickets for NDI mode camera control and manual connect mode prompt instead of auto connecting on OBS launch.
Also, feel free to contact me directly for additional information.
Thank you for the time and effort, this app is a few features away from being a game changer but where it currently stands it’s hardly an MVP. Happy to help.
