OBS NDI Plugin Setup | Your Phone is a KILLER Webcam!

[@ScottFichter]

For those who hate the lag the NDI provides I just made a tutorial highlighting how to use iVCam. It's a great solution because it uses USB instead of wireless tech. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZuyg42Jr66fnKc

[@lachlannnnn]

Scott Fichter Try Iriun webcam it’s free and VERY responsive you can even set the resolution to anything you want

[@ScottFichter]

@@lachlannnnn YES! Thanks for the tip Limitless. If I make the vid I'll give ya a shoutout! Best wishes and thanks again.

[@lachlannnnn]

Scott Fichter Wow you actually replied, yeah Iriun is very good it’s free, and it works for iPad and iPhone it’s just a great app and it even works on my iPad Air 2.

[@ScottFichter]

@@lachlannnnn RIGHT ON LimitLess (love the name) Your suggestion is on my to do list. I'll give you a shoutout when it goes up.

[@lachlannnnn]

Thanks a lot! I subbed cause you sound like a genuine nice guy that loves tech and software like me,

[@TokyoXtreme]

I’ve just been plugging in my iPhone with a USB cable, opening a QuickTime new movie recording, and setting the source as my phone. On the phone, I open up Filmic Pro and turn off the UI. The quality is amazing and lag-free, but isn’t wireless and is MacOS-only. It’s a good alternative if you just want a face-cam.

[@ScottFichter]

Fantastic, Thanks TokyoXtreme I'm going to look into this. Hmm. I need to find a solution that is Mac and PC

[@August-lp1sn]

TokyoXtreme ii

[@MikeFloutier]

TokyoXtreme, I'm puzzled, are you saying that this workaround will let you use your iPhone as a source in OBS? (Albeit Mac and USB)

[@ocarinamediagroup6747]

That’s exactly what I wanted!!!!!!

[@StephenFMone]

Hi TokyoXtreme, do I need Filmic Pro to allow Quicktime to choose my iPhone as a source? This option sounds perfect but I can't seem to get so far with it. D:

[@a.l.glover9079]

I literally did what you introduced with. 😤 Bought the Logitech cam and realized my Note 9 can probably do the same or better. Thank you for this vid.😅

[@ScottFichter]

Sorry man. Trust me when I tell you I have done the same thing with other crap many times

[@KandMe1]

Just came back to thank you Scott for the link for app for Android phones. I got mine going in OBS and works really well on the alternative app. IP Webcam really works.

[@ScottFichter]

Awesome Greg!

[@VicBozhenko]

Can you share how did you make it appear in OBS? I have a NewTek plugin and IP Camera on my droid phone, but what do I do to make them connect? This is the first time I do it, so it might be something obvious, but can't see what it is...

[@OldDesertLizard]

Setup was easy from the OBS NDI page - thanks for the video that showed the steps (I would have hesitated on the "this folder already exists" warning if you hadn't mentioned in!). I used the free EPOCCam on iOS - gave it a test run and liked it so much I got the paid version for $7.99, which includes green-screen, LED-Light control, several options for bit rate, size, etc. Now I can freely walk around the house (and yard mostly!) and stream/record. Thanks for the video!!

[@ScottFichter]

OUTSTANDING!!! Thanks for the report ODL!

[@Floating_Head]

I found this video trying to start a budget stream, and let me tell you, that this video is worth way more than people believe. Not only does the android IP webcam app work in obs it works in the elgato stream software as well. Using the same exact principle. I just did my first 2 hour stream with zero issues besides the cpu being a 4 core and the gpu on the very low end of the spectrum, it was not bad at all! Thanks for this piece of gold!

Glad it was helpful!

[@josiahdeal7493]

You can actually use IP Webcam in OBS without a plugin as well. Once you have the IP Webcam app open and started, enter its IP and port as listed in the app into the web browser of your computer. A control page will open. Open the full screen page which shows only the video page. Then copy that link and paste it into a "browser" input object in OBS.

[@ScottFichter]

Outstanding! Thanks for this info Josiah!

[@TraceyGallantMusic]

This is great, and works!!! Thank you. However, I am using the IP webcam app on my cell phone, but audio from the audio interface connected to my computer, for live singing streaming purposes, and there is a delay. Any way to sync visual with the audio? Thank you in advance for any help.

[@joshuaedano3455]

Do you know how to switch camera from back to front using the ip camera?

"Once you have the IP Webcam app open and started, enter its IP and port as listed in the app into the web browser of your computer. A control page will open." That's where i could get to, then I'm stuck.. Don't quite understand the " Open the full screen page which shows only the video page" part.. Help?

[@peacemekka]

Thank you so much. You've just saved me the cost of a webcam. Had it up and running in the time it took to watch the video.

[@ScottFichter]

Awesome Paul!

[@nwcic]

Nice Tut. Been using NDI tools for months with Zoom and OBS. Just an FYI: You don't need the OBS plugin. Just run the Free NDI tools and add the device (iPad, iPhone, etc) and add in OBS the Newtek item. Works fine without the OBS add-in. The benefit of the free NDI tools is it works with any other online tool like Zoom directly.

[@ScottFichter]

OUTSTANDING James! Thanks for this great info. GETSUM

[@August-lp1sn]

Hi Sir! After installing all did you show (Ndi plugin Obs, IP camera for iPhone , tool menu set for NDI output setting...) Then when I add NDi source, cannot found the Ndi cam in Source Name. May you show me How to fix it. Thank you.

[@Maddo03]

Wait, so you don't need to connect to the pc via usb?

[@ScottFichter]

That is correct. It uses WIFI

[@robertheazlit5809]

The one issue i have with using the phone as an IP webcam is the obvious delay and lip sync issue for live usage. I have android and I use droid cam and connect via usb which has no latency what so ever. It is Free. You do have to jump through some hoops with your phone to let the camera pipe out via usb, but if you follow their instructions precisely, it works terrific. my old galaxy s6 is now a permanent webcam. I'd love to see you check that out and see if you like it! Then of course we look forward to another video. Thanks!

[@ProSouthWrestling]

If given the options: NDI or iVCam? Also iVCam has never produced a good audio source for me.

[@ScottFichter]

Honestly using your phone for audio sucks. I suggest spending some money on a USB mic. As for a mic for Christmas.. Now is the time.

[@ShaneCrazy]

Keep up the videos man! Love you energy a lot! This was very helpful! All love and good luck to you my friend!❤️

[@peterpoggi]

Great video Scott! Thank you! Question: Is there a way to include my iphone screen as a scene source? For example, my friend was FaceTiming me from a parade, and I wanted to include that conversation from my phone as part of my live stream. Is this possible?

[@ScottFichter]

Yes, the objective is to get your phone screen to show up on your computer and then you would bring that computer screen into OBS. Take a look at this software www.airsquirrels.com/reflector. You connect your phone with USB and the phone's screen shows up on the computer. Talk to you later.

[@ChuckWeirich]

Scott, at 4:37 and 7:23 ... you're killin' me bro! Just too funny but GREAT information as always. Thank you! :)

[@ScottFichter]

Chuck, when I watch some of my old stuff I laugh my ass off. I'm not kidding you. I need to do more of that stuff.

[@ChuckWeirich]

@@ScottFichter I really like that you're watching and replying this often. It makes watching you even more fun! Quick question ... I saw you tweaking your background colors (living room) in one video. Are you using a green screen or is there a trick to using a photo as a backdrop in OBS that I haven't seen yet? I'm a musician that wants to live stream a concert. My studio is a small bedroom that I will light up. There's no room for a green screen but I'd love to have something "nice" behind me, anything but a door! LOL!!! Maybe you've covered this in a video that I haven't seen? Thanks Scott! :)

[@ScottFichter]

@@ChuckWeirich Hey Chuck what you see in the background is 100% real lighting. I use 7 lights. I should make a video about it.

[@gpkforever]

I have done everything in the video, and my obs studio doesn't recognize my NDI on my iPhone and i can get them to hook up. Do you know of any possible fixes or any suggestions for fixing it, would be very appreciated thank you.

[@TalkBadminton]

I did this with IVCam which was good but resource hungry. I ended up using an old iPhone 6 with a cracked screen and made a great second camera and very mobile. When recording messages would come in and screen stops which was a nightmare on my main iPhone. Also Skype app creates a free NDI input if interviewing, just make the phone a meeting participant.

[@NORTHERNKINGDOMPROPHETS]

Straight to the point.

[@ScottFichter]

Thanks!

[@erskinhansen1715]

The audio has a some latency with the phone camera as a source. Is there a fix for that?

[@ScottFichter]

We'll latency is best fixed in post production. It's a very easy fix.

[@drumjocky]

OBS crashes once I try and complete the set up and start the preview. On a Mac. Not sure if I should contact the OBS plug in developer or Sienna.

[@salserodoscientosseis1028]

Hi everyone, NDI has been removed from the playstore so unfortunately this does not work for me anymore. I found Iriun 4k at the play store for my Samsung Note 10 plus and you can download the Win/Mac Operating system aplication. I have a macbook book pro and this app WORKS flawlessly with an android phone and a macbook book pro I own!!! i said try it.. I am sure it works on windows too. it is free to try... It did worked for me so I paid the pro version $4.99 I am able to use it for ZOOM school meetings. you are welcome!

[@darrellgregory1457]

I have followed your steps exactly as you were doing them. OBS shows the plugin but it does NOT show my iPhone as an option in the camera sources. What am i doing wrong?

[@luxo199]

Great video, however, I’m trying to livestream through OBS with another person in a different location...what’s my best option for something like that? I’m currently using Skype with OBS but I’m looking for something different (not a big fan of Skype) is there any remote plugin for NDi?

[@ScottFichter]

If your using a PC you'll want to install the VirtualCam plugin. obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-virtualcam.539/ This will set OBS as a camera that you can use with software like Stream Yard or Zoom. These programs will ask to connect a camera and VirtualCam will be one of the choices. This is cool because you can apply all the bell sand whistles that OBS provides through these services. Best of luck Luxo199 - GETSUM!

[@Jongraphs8600]

luxo199 what’s Skype not doing for you?

[@luxo199]

Jonathan Swann Well, it’s not that, I’m just looking for another way to do that...I find Skype unstable sometimes which causes problems in OBS (changing the window size)

It worked, but the video was not that great compared to my webcam unfortunately. Do I need to plug the iphone into the PC for better bandwidth on the connection? Thanks for good videos!

[@ScottFichter]

WIFI won't cut it for higher resolutions. USB will allow for data transfer.

[@stephenwhite5444]

For Android I've been using iVCam and like it, you can adjust exposure and white balance and lock them down (which I prefer). I upgraded to pro to remove their logo and I think it was $7. But do you know of a phone app that has more control and features like my built in camera app has....things like stabilization, color saturation, all that kind of stuff??

[@ScottFichter]

I do not.

[@timdixon1166]

Scott, I don't think you need to turn on the NDI settings in the Tools drop-down. That's only if you want to use that OBS program as a source (output). Just installing the plug-in automatically adds the ability to receive an NDI stream over the network. (Clue: That 'NDI Source' will be in the sources menu as soon as you have the plug-in installed. Remember the 'Restarts' everyone! and yes it must be the same network.) FYI: I also found that using OBS as a source on another PC over a wi-fi network was problematic. Plugged in the ethernet cable, rebooted everything and it worked fine.

[@ScottFichter]

Thank you Tim!

Scott, I really have been enjoying your OBS tutorials. I am using OBS to record services at my church to burn to DVD for our internet challenged shut-ins. Right now. I am switching between static web cams, and I've been watching your vid's about using cell phones. This led to my question... How can I connect from ZY Play so I can use a Zhiyun Smooth 4 gimble so the steady cam feature eliminates the "motion-sickness" inducing video of the hand held? Pastor Derek Cromwell

[@ScottFichter]

Very good job, how about the phone with Android system? is it the same way and the same NDI app?

[@hassaanmian234]

Would the same NDI utility for OBS on desktop connect with IP Webcam i that is used on Droid phone?

[@blkmidia]

Tks! New sub!

[@ScottFichter]

Thank you too!

[@CORRUPTIONCZARNETWORK]

I have use dashcam as a camera too.

[@ScottFichter]

Cool.

[@brocky3498]

I already bought a c920! It's coming soon. But I guess I could used this for a hand camera!

[@ScottFichter]

The reason why this video went big was because folks can't find C922s. These webcams are the best in the industry. They balance low cost and high quality perfectly. Yes you could use this as a second camera and toggle between them with a key stroke. Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3vcY5yVnq51mK8

[@brocky3498]

@@ScottFichter I barely found one. I'll check out your other videos!

*Looks at my C922* "How did he...."

[@ScottFichter]

Ha!

[@BorhnN]

It's KZbin... Bought a c922 yesterday.

[@ScottFichter]

@@BorhnN Did you? Where did you find one? online?

[@BorhnN]

@@ScottFichter Yeah. Most of the stores here in Bangladesh ran out. Ordered in 3 different stores and finally one delivered. Took them over a week due to lockdown.

[@anthonystortz1787]

Howdy Scott! I found another app that costs less and does a little more. It's AndroidX Pro. It costs $4.99 plus text. Turns your camera into a Wifi or USB enabled camera. There is a client software you need to add to you computer. It has 4.5 stars on the Google Play Store. Just thought I'd share.

[@ScottFichter]

OUTSTANDING. Thanks Anthony. I will check it out for sure!

[@lionfeather]

Ok I got it going, thanks! One thing though, when a call comes in the video freezes until the ringing stops. Clearly airplane mode is not an option as it affects wi fi. Can the phone part be disabled?

[@ScottFichter]

Thanks for the heads up on that, Lion, look into "Call Forwarding" .

[@DamonTheeSir]

lionfeather If it’s an iPhone, put it on “Do Not Disturb” which is the little moon shaped icon in your Control Panel. You can still use Wi-Fi and keep your data on if needed. It will silence all incoming calls, messages and notifications. You have the ability to customize these options as well. Hope this helps.

I got " ths publisher of obs-ndi 4.9.0 windows installer.exe couldn't be verified", then when i install, it doesn't

[@KurtMaxwell]

Does not work... This was a waste of 6 frustrating hours trying to get this to be recognized in OBS Studio.

[@ScottFichter]

Sorry man, for some it works for other's it fails. I'm not sure why.

[@kei2142]

I tried this and the delay is terrible, anyone know what's been done wrong? I think the MJPEG codec is the problem.

[@ScottFichter]

When I made the video I was not really in the livestream mindset.

[@SmoothJamsEntertainmentRTuggle]

hey scott, i installed the obs-ndi 4.9.0 on my win7 laptop. it automatically asks for update. now i was able to successfully add obs-ndi to my laptop and yes i checked tools to see it there. but as soon as i went to update per obs updater requests...... my laptop has been crashing all night! is there anyway to uninstall the update? thans for any help

[@ScottFichter]

try these versions www.videohelp.com/software/Open-Broadcaster-Software/old-versions

[@SmoothJamsEntertainmentRTuggle]

Scott Fichter thanks so much, got the ndi to work! Used 4.7.0 with my win 7 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@EitamChannel]

when you use iphone's camera the audio is out of sync

[@keithphw]

Unfortunately, you can see that the video here has the same problem at 8:55. Would be great to hear if it's possible to fix this.

[@dorkyderpterio8649]

Hi Scott! I'm having troubles with my Virtual Camera on OBS. My chrome settings have OBS Virtual Camera as its default camera but in different websites, it won't let me switch to it and the option is grayed out (OBS is running and not minimized), what should I do?

[@ScottFichter]

Dorky, greyed out video is in most cases a video driver issue. Dig into understanding how to update your video drivers. That's my best guess.

[@suremediatv6286]

This is super cool

[@ScottFichter]

Glad you liked it Sure.

[@Fuukaosu]

Any alternatives for ios? dont wanna buy a face cam on your phone for ten bucks, while there are other alternatives for it that i dont know. Any Recommendations?

[@ScottFichter]

Consider a Logitech C922 they are the best webcams bar none.

[@ScottFichter]

I'm scraping all the comments for software alternatives. I pinned the message so it will be at the top
