Are you going to be using your Android Phone as a webcam? Let me know if you're going to us it as a primary camera or a secondary camera?
Thanks for this video. I'm new to OBS and was looking for a way to use my phone's camera as a sort of microscope and also to record my work when doing electronics repairs. This video really helped!
how much processer power required?
@@directajith there aren't any specs about that on the website and I haven't done any testing on that, but I can tell you it's VERY little...
Just want to know buddy is pro version improved video quality while recoding in obs....????? 🤔 🤔
@@Apbrands you get higher resolutions. Yes.
Bruh you're a life saver. I'm about to cover a live event in our school. I don't have any camera aside from my phone. Thanks to you, I was able to use my phone as a camera in OBS while I stream our school event live. You obtained a subscriber 💕
I know I am 2 years late but still one of the best videos on the software I have seen and found. Thank you.
Love that you found it helpful!
That tip about the remote is a life saver! I'd be struggling to try and set it up without constantly having to spin my phone back around. Thank you!
I'm glad I remember to add that feature in! I almost uploaded the video without mentioning it!
Woah? Only 90 Subs For Such Clean Content? Have Another.
p.s i love the transitions, they're really smooth, well designed, thumbs up.
Thanks! I really appreciate it! I haven't been able to upload anything recently because of some health things going on in my family, but I'll hopefully be getting some things up in the next little while, so stay tuned :)
@@thesalta72 a true fan base always stands by the creator in the bad times, hard and tough. I wish the best for the family and health issues bro, don't lose hope 👪🎂👍🏾
And, happy Father's day 🙏🏾
Bruh. Thank you so much!😭
That was way easier than I expected. Thanks so much. Really looking forward to making stuff now!
I'm glad that you found it easy to follow and set up! Be sure to like and subscribe for more videos!
I'm really glad you mentioned the dock thingy man! Awesome video!
Thanks! Glad I could help!
Thank you - this is the best, most thorough tut on using an android phone as webcam. I liked & subbed :)
Worthy of my subscribe and like buttons. 💪 Thanks for the walkthrough! This will help a lot on our live streams for small churches. 😊
I am also using DroidCam OBS from past few months. Almost happy with its performance.
❤️ From India
Glad to hear that you enjoy the video!
Liked, commented, and subscribed. Thanks for putting in the work, brother. Best of luck to you!
Thanks for the sub!
As a beginner to this, I REALLY appreciated this step by step tutorial! You made it very simple and easy to understand. Thank you!
I'm so glad you found the tutorial super easy to follow along with! I will have more content up soon. My wife and I just had a baby and my wife's health hasn't been spectacular, so I've been busy taking care of her and other life things. But she seems to be getting better, so more videos soon to come!
Brother you got a sub ❤️That USB part was a lifesaver
Glad I was able to help!
Thanks it was easy peasey im going wifi and will be content with that so ill consider usb another time maybe. Enjoyed your video it was perfection. XD wish u a good day.
Stress free and easy to follow tutorial - got 2 phones ( apple and android ) ready to use for live streaming and recording my dj sets.
Thank you sir ! 🙏
Awesome!!...Four (4) thumbs up, man...For reason of my having to piece together all the information that I am looking for. I have had to look into so much information from so many different sources...Dude, you said it all in one video!...'USB Cable Connect', 'Ease of Remote Capability', 'Plowing Through to Find a Mistake' (12125- so funny)...No, You Rocked It! I am installing this mug right now...Thanks!
Glad you liked it! I'm the kind of guy who doesn't like to leave information out in the name of just getting a video out. Been having some life stuff going on lately hence why I haven't had anymore uploads in a while, but things are FINALLY™ settling down, and I should be getting videos up more regularly. I had the goal of one video per week, but after some health issues with my wife sprang up, I'm going to have go shoot for about 2 videos a month (or one every other week). So let me know what you want videos about. I have some ideas, but I want to give you guys the information that YOU want.
Ok great!...Thanks for sharing the information about the health issues with your wife that you are going through. Now my family and I will know how to pray for you...Hang in there, Salta92- And Rock On!
@@paulandrewpimentel2005 love it! Thanks for the prayers, man!
That was very, VERY helpful. Thanks! I have like 3 ("older") phones lying around and no joy in buying 3 cameras (piano streaming here, so more cams appreciated).

@@thesalta72 You are really helpful, Sir, May your channel break all the records 👍🏻👍🏻❤
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH WHERE WAS THIS TUTORIAL 2 YEARS AGO LOL
Great video! Is it possible to use the "webcam remote" to choose one of my phone's cameras? E.g. I have a secondary wide-angle camera that I would prefer. Also, what frame rates can you get our of it through wifi and usb? E.g. I would hope for FullHD 60fps via usb. Is it reachable? Do you have experience with longer usb cables? Would it work above 3m or is the attenuation of the signal too strong? Thanks a lot for the video and for any answers.
Lots of great questions here. If you pay the one time fee for the pro-version ($12.99USD) Then you get access to 1080p60fps. WiFi, I can get full resolution over wifi no problem. You might need to adjust your bitrate to accommodate slower wifi, but you can definitely get full resolution from it. USB cables, if you go longer than 3m you might need a beefier cable with better data speeds, but you should be fine.
Wow thank you, actually helped me so much :D
Glad you found it useful!
Hey man, I can't get audio to come through the droidcam app? Has anyone come across this problem and know a fix?
haha, the problem for me was that the "activate" button was off screen and I didn't realize you had to scroll down to see more options. Was driving me crazy ^_^
thank you and that is nice definitely turn it you have one you compare gains or your cell phone and stream it we play in games where cell phone service agreement on you
You deserve more subscribers!
Thanks! I hope that I can help as many people as possible!
Best video on the subject. Great presentation.
I appreciate that!

Very helpful video bro, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Hey! Great vid! Which camera does the app use? I've got a Galaxy S21 Ultra with a bunch of them! Also, does it render audio from the phone mic? I'd rather use my dedicated mic. Great job! Thanks!
Well I learned that you can start the client app without audio which is cool. It's using a rear facing camera. Initial impressions are that this blows my trusty C920 HD Pro into oblivion in terms of video quality @1080p. Undetectable lag on WIFI so far but I'll definitely switch to USB for the power supply. Next up - a green screen test! My lighting isn't the best so not expecting miracles there but 'm interested in seeing how well the phone's sensors do. Really glad I found your vid. Subscribed!
Hey! Just saw your comment. I was driving to a doctor's appointment. There is an option to switch between different cameras. On your main screen on the app, you'll see a camera icon with a two way arrow. You can choose the camera that you want to use there (you can even choose your screen I think). As far as a using it will a green screen, it works just like other cameras. Just add the Chroma Key filter to the source in OBS and there you go. However, the lighting will still be just as important as with a normal webcam/camera. Best of luck, and that is for the sub!
Thanks for the info on the camera selection. I'll check it out. I really like to have fun with the green screen (I make my own backgrounds to fit my mood, send a message or for an occasion) but I'm not a streamer so going crazy with studio lighting in my little "office" (spare bedroom) is something I've put off. Actually, I got into OBS for the audio plug-ins and overall audio versatility. I'm just now, ironically, discovering its video capabilities. Go figure.
Thanks for the response! It's nice that you do that.
@@nikkidehart4315 one video about cheap studio lighting coming soon!
@@thesalta72 That would be awesome and most appreciated. Looking forward to it. If you have suggestions for (economically) lighting the green screen too that would be the proverbial icing on the cake! Don't get me wrong. I'm not adverse to spending some money but I have a kind of analysis paralysis going on. So many options to choose from but I really don't have the experience to make confident decisions. That's a compliment to you 👍🏻
Amazing Content Bro Keep up Solider
Awesome! If you don’t mind what type of web-com you were filming this video with . Thanks!
Logitech Brio
Let me start out by saying I am old, so the technology is difficult for me. I have OBS on my desktop, I have DroidCam downloaded on my cell, and I have downlowed the DroidCam extension and I see it in OBS. It is listed in my sources. Now, when I go to the properties though, the screen looks different from what you showed in your video, and it will not allow me to make any changes. I cannot enter my IP address or my port. What must I do to get this to work?
I have an updated tutorial here :)
th-cam.com/video/UkQ3UKnHeiA/w-d-xo.html
I'm definitely considering returning a Razer Kiyo Pro that I just ordered. I was wondering if the phone overheats/lags if streaming for a long time. Like 6+ hours. Thanks
It shouldn't. But if you notice lag, you can always go with USB.
I have an updated tutorial here with a bit more information about that here th-cam.com/video/UkQ3UKnHeiA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing. Its really helpful and I will try it. Do you think this work with FACERIG as well?
I don't know anything about facerig, so I can't help.
Not sure if the DroidCam and OBS plugin are two seperate apps?
I have a VPN does that mean I have to plugin through USB which I am having hard time connecting to?
Hello ;w;
If i buy the pro version for my android, will it carry over to the pc? I just figured out the standart stuff and want to know a bit more about pro.
Yes.
@@thesalta72 Thank you so much ;w;
Thank you for a great video. it was a lot of help.
THANKS SALTA FOR THIS ,,,, IT'S REALLY HELPFUL
You're welcome!
thanks man thar change my life that use the wifi , thanks really!
No problem, man! Happy that you found my video useful!
Hi! If I get the pro version, would that automatically remove the watermarks for all the devices that will be connected, or is the watermark removal and remote only for just one device?
I only have it on one device, but assuming all the devices are logged in with the same account (Google/Apple), it should just carry over.
hello sir. this video has been so helpful for my church. we are now using two phones and 2 ptz cameras for our church broadcast. the issue we have is that on the phones the images tend to lag. is there anyway you can help.
This was super helpful! Thank you
I'm so glad that you found it helpful!!
Nice video compa!
Thanks, my guy!
omg you need 10000000 subs you are amazing
Aww shucks! Thanks! Hope I can keep providing awesome content for you guys!
Not working... My old Samsung phone won't allow the camera use and keeps asking transferring files when connected through USB. all settings already as in video.
Sorry about that. I'm going to be putting out an updated tutorial this week since OBS 29 has come out, there are a few things that are different.
This is the best tut I've seen on this. Any updates on the follow up video for using your pixel as a web am in other apps?
You're the first person to ask! I have been absolutely swamped here lately with my wife having had a baby and her health not being super well. But I have a new video coming out this weekend, and then I will upload the video on how to used your phone as a webcam in other programs :)
@@thesalta72 right on!
Congrats on the baby & hope your wife feels better soon :). Take care & whenever you can, I would like to see a tut for other apps too.
I'll be sure to let y'all know when that video is up!
Thanks that was easy. Is there a way to rotate the image to vertical?
I found this to be super informative. Thank you very much! Why do I not see the AF option on the remote toolbar? I am using OBS version 27.2.4 (64 bit). Phone is Moto e5.
I'll be putting out an updated tutorial this week and will try and answer as many of these questions as I can.
4:51 nice tranistion!
Thanks! It was actually super easy to do, but the effect is very nice!
@@thesalta72 DM me on Discord and help me make one? :P
If y'all want to see how I make my TH-cam videos in a way that is fast, efficient, and requires very little editing, I would be more than happy to make a video about how to do that :) If that's something you're interested in, just let me know :)
Yes, very helpful. thank you for this very impormative....how you do your editing video?
more tutorial videos please! :-)
What I do is just record it using OBS in what is effectively one take and then just cut out all of the dead air and just touch it up. Worked good for this video!
Nice one Sir 🤲
Please how do I get the overly, like the one you have at the bottom of your screen
Thank you! is it possible to use 3840x2160 resolution with 60 fps as original camera woks on video mode? or this program is limiting resolution ?
As far as I know, the plugin only supports 1080p 60fps.
thank you so much this worked perfectly!
I'm so glad! Let me know what you would like to see in future vids!
I want to start twitch streaming (Of course, being who I am I have no idea what I'm doing.)
How do you mount the your phone in a good spot to where it won't be too high or low? I'm still getting everything set up and figuring things out with how I want to start streaming.
So, what I've used to mount my phone and cameras in the past is this: smile.amazon.com/dp/B08RYS8YZR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_6NN45K1R4SY2ECA4J4BD?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Not a paid link.
Use that with a normal phone clamp, and you'll be golden!
You can also see if there are some kind of phone mount that you can attach to your monitor. But all the one's I've seen are angled too far, or just aren't good for this specific use case.
can we open ometv from this webcam bc i try and its not working pls can make a video how to fix it
If you want to use this with something like OmeTV or Omegle or something like that, you'll still need to use OBS, but you'll just want to use the virtual camera feature inside of OBS to output your OBS scene as a webcam to other software. Hope that helps :)
galaxy s21 ultra won't stay running.when i open droid cam it opens the camera for 1 sec and goes off. my usb setting is on but still can't find a solution for this problem.
Are you trying to connect over USB or WiFi?
I do the same things you do , but pc didn't connect to my phone by usb , there is wifi logo but ther is no phone name , please help
Make sure that you're using the port number that is shown in the app to put into the plugin inside of OBS.
thanks for sharing, I follow the process with my macbookpro and smartphone OPPO... but I got a black screen.. Any particulaire reason ?
Not sure. There are a few things that could cause that. But without knowing the specifics, I wouldn't be able to tell you. You're welcome to join the discord and we can try and help there :)
Very helpful! Thank you!
I mean you need AMAZING wifi. I have good wifi and I filmed an entire video with edits and uploaded it only to be shamed by lag and glitchy reactions.
Wired connections are always going to be better than a WiFi connection.
I'll be putting out an updated tutorial this week. I'll try and go over some troubleshooting steps for things like this. I don't have amazing wifi, but it works reliably for me. But a wired connection will always be better.
Amazing stuff mate
Awesome job 👍
Amazing review and good app for such a democratic price
That's what I thought when I first saw the app! Glad you enjoyed the review :)
"droidcam OBS" Does not show up in the menu when I try to add it as a source.
Plugin probably wasn't installed correctly. Try reinstalling and let me know. You can also join the discord and I can try and help you there!
Uhm... Why is everyone else's working properly but mine... I just want to use USB. Wrong cord maybe? Is it Type C to Type C?
You can use any USB cable. I have an update tutorial as well that you can see here. th-cam.com/video/UkQ3UKnHeiA/w-d-xo.html
If I'm hard-wiring my Samsung Note10 with USB-C to my laptop, do I use an adaptor from USB-C to HDMI and then I have to use a camcard? Or can I go directly from USB-C to HDMI without the camcard?
That would depend on if the Samsung Note 10 has HDMI out or not. Are you wanting to use your Note 10 as a webcam? Or are you wanting to capture your smartphone screen?
@@thesalta72 The Note10 only has a USB-C output. I do ZOOM live fitness classes and I want to use the phone as my secondary web camera to switch to for a 2nd view angle when doing floor work.
Im using usb and i was able to add it to OBS but when Its not showing anything only my normal screen how do i fix this
I have an updated tutorial that you can see here th-cam.com/video/UkQ3UKnHeiA/w-d-xo.html
Hey! Is there a chance I could use this app as a mic strictly without having to use the camera? Thank you!
Sure! You would just add the source but move the actual camera off to the side. I don't know that there is a way to have just the audio though. I suppose you could also add something like a color correction filter and turn the opacity down all the way.
Very helpful!! Thanks
Glad you found it helpful! Hope my next video is just as helpful! Will upload this weekend :)
The android lag is insane. Everytime I try and record a video every 10-20 seconds I get lag and I don't even know until I'm editing. It sucks.
You might try adjusting the bit rate. That helped me. USB also generally runs smoother.
Thanks
You're welcome!
Hay great video I have this just wondering as I have tried yo add a virtual green screen with droid cam but I am not very good with computers please please can you see if this can be done with this app ? Would really appreciate it many thanks Dean ?? 👍
There are a couple of virtual green screen plugins you can use, but I'm not sure how well they will work with Droidcam. If you have a 30 series Nvidia GPU, you can use their studio SDK and get a virtual green screen using the StreamFX plugin. But if you don't, there are still other plugins you can use to get a virtual green screen. But again, you just need to test them out.
@@thesalta72 cheers have looked about and can never seem to get them to work Al just have to leave it lol thanks for getting back to me nobody has done a video on it at all to see if it works I carnt get it to anyway but am no good at using obs yet lol.
@@deanjamesanthony with those virtual green screen plugins, there is an Audio Filter aspect to them (not sure why). But you usually have to set a detector and a renderer. So if the source doesn't have a place for audio filters, then they don't work. I don't remember off the top of my head if Droidcam sources have a place for audio filters or not, but I'm 80% sure they do since it captures audio. And if that's the case, you "should" be able to use a virtual green screen with it. But your mileage may vary.
@@thesalta72 ok thank you so much I appreciate it will have more of a play with it lol thank you 👍
So how does you phone do when you start streaming? Does it drop frames? Lag? What are some "starter settings" for streaming in OBS with you phone as the webcam?
I have an updated tutorial here that talks a bit more about it.
th-cam.com/video/UkQ3UKnHeiA/w-d-xo.html
i can use only the video like I want to record my screen and just use droic cam audio to speak using my phone microphone there is a way to do that ?
You could turn on Audio Capture under the DroidCam settings. And just move the camera out of the frame.
Great video. Thanks
Glad you liked it! It's actually an older video, here is a more recent on if you are using OBS 28 or newer. th-cam.com/video/UkQ3UKnHeiA/w-d-xo.html
Can you use more than 1 phone using droidcam in one ? Thanks
I tried setting this up to work on omegle and I couldn't get it working... It works on the OBS software, but it just shows OBS logo with a cross through a camera on omegle site?
Sounds like a virtual cam issue. Are you using the plugin or the native virtual cam?
@@thesalta72 It was as simple as hitting the "Start virtual camera" option just under the startt recording button!
Sorry!
@@ManOfJupiterMusic No problem! Glad you got it figured out! I love helping people with this stuff :)
For the love of god, please use the full abbreviation before the shortened form. Not everyone knows what an OBS is.
Nice qwick vide bro
Thanks! Hope it was helpful for you!
Thanks for this tutorial!
You're welcome!
Hey man can you tell how to add colouful border in any source...like you have added in this video.... please help in that regards and also help me how to add transition in images like you have added
I definitely can! I will add that to my list of videos to make! So make sure you're subscribed and that you have the bell rang for notifications!
@@thesalta72 sure buddy!!
I had a question though, we are using droid cam over the network when you zoom in and there is a lot of movements it will start to like freeze up (glitching). Is connecting it via USB gonna fix this issue or is there something else I'm missing?
USB will always be a better connection than over wifi. So if you can connect it over USB that would be ideal. But if you're having issues with the wifi connection, you can try going through some basic troubleshooting like restarting your phone or computer, uninstalling and reinstalling the app and plugin. Let me know if that fixes it or not :)
@@thesalta72 it's the target bitrate. Default is 2mbit i think. So I've set it to 12mbit (max) Now it's more fluent. But thank you i must agree, there is no wireless connection yet to beat wired connection
@@renesoleana1414 glad you got it sorted!
Hopefully, all these apps/plugins wont be needed on Android 14, since it will introduce camera as UVC device protocol. Like iOS and some Android brands already do.
That will be the most amazing day of my life! 😭
