Camera for OBS Studio
Developed by Will Townsend | Last updated: May 8, 2024
Camera for OBS Studio is a productivity app, developed by Will Townsend, available on iOS and Android since its release in March 2018. The updated version 3.5.0 is now available to download, compatible with iOS 12.0+ and Android 10+. Before downloading this app, let's quickly review what Camera for OBS Studio has to offer.
About 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.
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.
