Question / Help Can’t seem to get any app to work that let’s me use phone as webcam

[Michelle Christine]

Hey there :)

Not gifted in tech troubleshooting but I watched several YouTube tutorials in about 5 hours of frustration yesterday. I installed droidcam and epoccam and neither of them worked for my laptop and phone. Is there any other apps you would recommend?

Thank you for any help!

In my opinion, "IP Webcam" leaves nothing to be desired.

You use it with OBS by adding a VLC Media Source and add an entry to the play list like this:

You can also manage the running cam very comfortably from your PC by using the camera interface with your favorite browser at http://<ip-address>:8080/
