Android + Windows · By devkos1

Your phone.
Your next webcam.

Turn your Android camera into a live webcam for Windows and OBS Studio. Connect by USB or Wi-Fi, bring your microphone along, and stream without a watermark.

Downloads paused — investigationEasy setup guide

Open source. No subscription. One Android APK and one Windows EXE.

Version 0.3.3 withdrawn

A Bitdefender detection was reported during setup. Its cause is under investigation. Do not disable antivirus protection or add an exclusion to run this version. Older releases are not a verified workaround.

USB or Wi-Fi

Use a USB data cable, or pair on the same Wi-Fi. A connection check recommends a video quality setting.

Picture and sound

The included OBS plug-in brings in video and phone audio. Choose a phone microphone or a PC microphone.

Control your camera

Switch lenses, adjust zoom and focus, and see a live preview. Choose 4K30 or 1080p60 when your phone supports it.

From phone to stream in a few steps

  1. Download the APK to your Android phone and the EXE to your Windows PC.
  2. Open both apps. Connect with a USB data cable and enable USB debugging, or use Wi-Fi pairing.
  3. Click Connect, then Start video.
  4. For OBS, close OBS and install the included plug-in from Setup. Reopen OBS and add DroidVideo Camera + Audio.

For other compatible camera apps, click Enable under Windows virtual camera and select DroidVideo Camera. The virtual camera carries video; phone audio is available through the OBS plug-in.

Keep only your OBS preview

The Windows app guides you through setup at launch. Once connected, choose Run in background to keep streaming from the system tray with the desktop preview decoder stopped. Double-click the tray icon to return.

What do I need?

Android 9 or newer and 64-bit Windows 10/11. OBS integration requires 64-bit OBS Studio 32.x. ADB, the OBS plug-in and the virtual camera are bundled in the Windows download.

DroidVideo is a preview release. Resolution, frame rate and available camera controls depend on your hardware. Windows builds are currently unsigned; Android builds use a development signature. See the test results and known limits.
