How to use iPhone as a webcam for ZOOM or Streaming

[@trdtommy.]

Definitely not a “how to”

[@channeljohnnyYT]

bless you for not making this a 15 minute video

[@SaaSMaster]

Glad it was helpful

[@gandharavkhimta]

how do i use this method to connect with zoom ? do you understand my question ?

[@namivirus]

Thanks for the recs George! Could you link a recommended ring light and iPhone stand like the one you have pictured in the thumbnail?

[@SaaSMaster]

I would recommend you rather use a dedicated light for video and not a ring light. Something like Apurture or Godox

[@dayoffgaming5338]

What kind of usb can connect iphone to desktop

[@SaaSMaster]

Normal usb or Type C

[@chipz861]

Can you make a video of how to set this up for Facebook live Pleeeease!!!!! 😇

[@SaaSMaster]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely consider making a video about setting up this software for Facebook Live. Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see in such a video, so I can make sure it covers all of your needs.

[@roy_ldvps]

Your webcam is better than iphone，what model？thx😊

[@SaaSMaster]

Panasonic GH5

[@nomadicvoyage]

is this gonna work if you have a windows pc?

[@SaaSMaster]

Different app is needed

[@xPRxMEx]

Great video man! Mind if I ask what cell stand your using to mount your iPhone above your laptop?

[@SaaSMaster]

Dang I can't remember it's a generic one from Amazon.

[@iamsurajsharma]

How did you remove your background just like the other videos you made?

[@SaaSMaster]

I use chromakey

[@progressivechiropracticsea239]

Also, are you sure this will record zoom calls with the same quality?

[@SaaSMaster]

What ever the quality displayed it will record

[@Oeduardoalbrecht]

BEST option I've found! Thank you!

[@SaaSMaster]

awesome!

[@klaymoon1]

Great video! Can you also use the mic and speaker of Iphone for a conference call?

[@SaaSMaster]

if you connect an iphone adapter

[@OFCMedia]

Wait, does this mean you used the mic of your laptop for this video ?

[@marceloaguilar5129]

Can you use the iPhone mic??

[@SaaSMaster]

Yes by selecting it as the mic device

[@progressivechiropracticsea239]

Does the app work with iPhone 13?

[@SaaSMaster]

Haven't tested since I don't have the 13.but if the app is available for download. It should work in theory

[@kennedykid8460]

I cant use it for I phone 6s is tehre any ap for i phone 6s ? thank you

[@SaaSMaster]

Yes it's available

[@md.raselahammed8131]

What is your webcam model?

[@SaaSMaster]

Built in camera from a 2019 macbook pro 19inch

[@MacAutomationTips]

Hmmm, though I get your point, the webcam looks better. The app lacks the contrast that web cam provides.

[@SaaSMaster]

I think exposure is way better on phone than webcam. What web cam do you have?

[@Rukkiiaa_YT]

Can I use this method for overhead shots? I’m looking to stream keyboard builds :))

[@SaaSMaster]

Sure just get an arm that holds the phone on top view

[@JULIOAIS]

What you use to hook the camera above you?

[@SaaSMaster]

It's a phone clamp mounted on the desk

[@giannistzikas]

Why 1280x720? I have the same problem. The application says that you have 1920x1080 resolution but the only option is with NDI connection and I have no idea what it is. I bought this for full hd and I’m disappointed...any other app with better resolution ?

[@nickdee24]

Epoccam has 1080p, you just gotta change the settings in the app. You can select what resolution you want to use.

[@giannistzikas]

@@nickdee24 there are 3 options in settings: fair, good and best. I choose best and when I connect the iPhone to my MacBook Air a small window opens for a second and says 1280x720....😢 I don’t see any other option...

[@giannistzikas]

The same thing happened when you connected your phone in the video. 1280x720 you can see it at the top of your screen. Top and right. With WiFi connection an usb also.

[@VIRTUALPLAZA]

Umm i have a question regarding streaming on mobile can u use iphone as the webcam while using ipad as the display and main streaming on tht device

[@SaaSMaster]

Hi, no app that I know of can do this

When is the "how to"?

Thanks so much for watching my video! I'm glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the kind words. :)

[@1tzelG_]

hi, it has exposure adjustment?

[@SaaSMaster]

Not that I know of

[@fitnessfaith4900]

Will it work with FaceTime on iMac ?

[@SaaSMaster]

Yes if you selected as your video output in the video setting on the top menu

[@Kamui779]

Does this work on console

[@SaaSMaster]

I don't think so because of the driver that can't be downloaded

[@mihai_chindris]

The app is amazing, I must say! I paid for the PRO version because I didn't want to be stuck with that annoying watermark, and it has some new features that I can't remember rn. 🙃

[@SaaSMaster]

Great to know you had a good experience

[@youtoospain]

I’ve just read that the latest version of Zoom doesn’t support EpocCam

[@SaaSMaster]

can you provide the link because Zoom doesn't limit where the feed comes from. Epoc is just like saying theres another camera

[@youtoospain]

@@SaaSMaster I can’t seem to find it now. I tried Iriun instead and that works really easily.

[@nickdee24]

@@youtoospain yeah, zoom does support epoccam still. Unless you can provide the evidence, i'd take it with a pinch of salt.

[@NdnaJnz7]

Perhaps you posted here to propmote Iriun over EpochCam? You have no info to backup your post. What version of Zoom? "Latest" is of no help. And you can't provide a link to where you saw it?

[@youtoospain]

@@NdnaJnz7 Not promoting anything, I was just trying to get to the bottom of what worked and made a comment. I've moved on now.

[@quizzyondemand]

Very Very Good Video!!!

[@SaaSMaster]

Thanks 🚀

[@joshirvine1002]

If you wanted to remotely direct a client doing a self-recorded video, could you utilize this combination to both see them (the client) recording themselves while you're able to provide direction?

[@SaaSMaster]

Yes, it is possible to remotely direct a client while they are recording a self-recorded video. There are several tools available that allow for real-time communication and screen sharing, such as Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, or TeamViewer. These tools allow you to see the client's screen while they are recording themselves, and also provide a way to communicate with them in real-time, so you can provide direction. Some of these tools also have the capability of recording the session, which can be useful if you want to review the footage later.

[@aydendia1]

I have a quick question is there a way to mount my phone to the top of my monitor kinda like a webcam without a tripod or anything?

[@SaaSMaster]

Probably a clamp but that might damage your monitor

[@andrewclarke8036]

Look into the elgato multimount

[@nickdee24]

you just answered your own question. ''mounting'' it would involve attaching it to something. If you don't want to use a tripod or anything, try sticky tape. Lol.

[@never2354]

Duct Tape.

[@pierremakengo4653]

So how do i go about setting this up

[@SaaSMaster]

Super easy, once you install the app it will tell you the steps to follow

[@andrewliamdesigndevelopment]

Thank you! I just purchased a 16 dollar cable for my Canon SL2, and now, I guess all be able to stream / record with two cameras...? Lol. Super helpful. You definitely need to pay the 7.99 for the 1080p...

[@SaaSMaster]

Awesome. You made a good choice 😁

[@nthengengumo6563]

can i buy the code

[@SaaSMaster]

This is an app

[@nthengengumo6563]

@@SaaSMaster thats why i am asking of the app code

[@UnmaskedCarnage]

Subscribed, this is exactly what I was looking for but the only issue I see is that any movement you did didn’t seem smooth or is that only because you where using the free version? Or does the paid version lag as well?

[@SaaSMaster]

I was on the paid version.

[@nickdee24]

I use it through USB mode and you might need to adjust in-app settings. but i haven't had any issues with frame rate/smoothness.

[@betereinders2689]

i bought the app, my zoom is not picking up the phone as an option?

[@SaaSMaster]

Make sure you install the driver it recommends in the email or SMS

What is your main camera in this video?

[@SaaSMaster]

[@wowodan6635]

You should change your title to "Advantages of using the iPhone as a webcam in lieu of a regular webcam". Thanks.

That would be a good topic if I talked about it in that subject

[@araceliachaidez3686]

@@SaaSMaster I agree that the title is a bit misleading. The info is useful and interesting but there is not actual info related to using it for ZOOM.

my bad, next time I'll consider looking into these points

[@sydbyd5040]

Is this OK for the iPhone battery?

[@SaaSMaster]

It's like using your camera so it will consume more battery. It's recommended to have your phone charging

[@nickdee24]

@@SaaSMaster if you use it through USB mode, it charges as your using it. you could try turning the brightness all the way down as far as it'l go to conserve screen health though.

@@SaaSMaster I did

Go to ''version history'' on the epoccam site and grab version 2.9.8 instead of 3.0.1. It works flawlessly.

[@markballard1515]

This video clearly says, How to, not let's do a comparison

[@SaaSMaster]

😬

[@romaingirardi]

There is still a lot of lag even using usb...

[@SaaSMaster]

Not as much as using wifi but yeah there's lag

[@erickabundis7952]

Really?? I’ve used my iPhone 11 Pro Max with usb and never encountered lag... even on wifi. Also I use the usb type c cable that came with my phone and connect it to a usb 3.1 type c port on my pc so that might help

[@romaingirardi]

@@erickabundis7952 Just look at the video itself. There is lag and lost frames. It’s subtle but it’s enough to notice. If it’s noticeable it will make your video look unprofessional. Another solution is using filmic pro clean hdmi out with elgato camlink 4K, a bit better but still not perfect. A way to fix the lost frame issue is to shoot in 60 FPS and to then downscale in 30 or 24.

[@cellist81]

@@romaingirardi no lag that I can see... make sure you have a fast internet connection...

[@nickdee24]

well nothing is perfect, you're basically sending your cam feed through the app on your phone to the app on windows which then processes it and shows you the image. You need decent devices to handle that. It's not just gonna ''work'' flawlessly on any device.

No doubt since it's native. But it doesn't beat the quality of a phone camera

better frame rate probably but, people want quality now. No ones ever clicked off a video because ''the frame rate aint smooth enough'' it's usually because it's too pixellated to see what's going on.
