Camera for OBS Studio

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.

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.

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.

Details not forthcoming

The idea here is good, but what is not told is that when you connect with this app, the adjustments and settings icons on the screen on your phone also stream and show up in OBS screen. You also cannot steam landscape. When you change the orientation to landscape mode it does appear in landscape mode only in OBS it appears sideways, so you don’t get landscape, you get landscape mode turned to portrait orientation. This is not very helpful of you are wanting to broadcast in a 16:9 landscape format as regular video cameras use.


Needs a very high spec computer to record or stream 4K
Nabouzeina

My 16 inch core i9 MacBook Pro is struggling to record or stream 4K with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. There is like a 15 second lag.


I want my refund

Don’t need this

OBS has an option to stream from your phone in their app, this was a waste of my money. Please refund me.


Must have

This app is outstanding. After trying all the webcams out there I was about to spring for a mirror less camera. I discovered this app and my iPhone is the best camera of all the webcams out there. This is perfect for getting you started. Can wait to start creating. Thanks

Complete crap
Jared Singer

There’s free apps that do exactly this. EpocCam is better you just can’t use multiple phones


How to remove the icons when using
psycfitness

How do you hide the icons around the camera - it's annoying since I cannot see the whole screen!


Just flat out doesn’t work
Ozone42

Wide open WiFi network, device is not broadcasting despite saying it is


Couldn’t figure it out
HIIIII(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞

It was confusing all I figured out was to change the lighting, that’s all.
