How To Use Your Smartphone As A Webcam for FREE!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

*Updated Information* ⚡You have to be on the same wifi for this to work - if that isn't going to work for you watch this video ➡️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJe3fXytrcuLrq8 ⚡If you don't see Iriun after installing, try restarting your computer/laptop ⚡This works wirelessly, you don't need your phone to be connected via USB ⚡You can use your phone as your audio source as well

[@au1]

Thank you for such great videos. Do you know an app for android users that do USB connection to Macs?

[@MrJbrown1276]

Does it work in obs?

[@thsithks]

If only they offered a USB option + lens selection

[@NeonCicada]

Does this overheat the phone if it's been running for 45 mins - 1 hr?

[@benjaminlyons5261]

It won't allow me to use it as audio. Not sure why

It’s crazy how I went through so many videos on trying to learn how to make my integrated camera better but it was a KZbin AD that solved all my problems. Thanks man 💪🏾🔥

@Easy Care Landscaping I’ve heard OBS also has its own version of this called OBS Ninja, but just try it out for free before buying a camera and all the equiptment

Thank you, this is a great free option. I was just after the basics and didn't want to pay for something that had features I'd unlikely use. Like you, I was up and running in just a few minutes.

Thank you for this video. Iriun worked perfectly on my Samsung phone and a Windows 10 laptop - plug and play using a USB connection between the phone and the laptop. Just had to select Iriun as webcam in the Windows meeting app. Wow!

[@milyypink]

Awesome video! I started a new job with a lot of zoom meetings but my PC has no webcam and work laptop gives me a lot of eyestrain. I was hoping I could recycle an old phone to dedicate it as a PC webcam- this is perfect!

[@gregadeluv]

Thak you for this valuable information. The most interesting thing is that it connects immediately via wifi without me having to do anything. I super love this!

[@kloboucek]

This makes the Note10+ fairly expensive webcam, but it is truly much much much better than what the Latitude E7400 integrated webcam can do. Thanks for the tip ThinkMedia :) I've tried IP webcam in combination with OBS which produces slightly better picture, but the CPU utilization just kills it. Having the phone connected via USB decreases the latency to a much acceptable level.

[@441meatloaf]

I think you have to consider the fact this is detrimental to your phone. Battery use and overheat is an issue. Also if you are using your current phone as a webcam, and what if you need your phone to call into the conference etc? You got no phone to use.

[@Edgard422]
