Description

If you've ever wanted to use your iPhone camera as a video & audio input to stream using OBS Studio, we've got you covered. We've tried all the apps that let you do it over WiFi, but they're not fast enough, so we also allow you to use a wired USB connection.

QUALITY VIDEO
Your iPhone/iPad camera's are good, really good. In fact, there’s no comparison between the highly recommended streaming webcam, the Logitech C922 HD Pro and the iPhone 6 Camera. Stream Landscape or Portrait video.

AUDIO
If you don't have a separate mic for your streaming setup, you can now use the microphone on your iOS device to stream audio & video.

FRONT CAMERA
Stream a selfie with the front camera support. Switch anytime during the stream with the familiar camera switch button.

TAP TO FOCUS, PINCH TO ZOOM
Controls just like you're used to from the Camera app.

MANUAL CONTROLS
Take control of the focus, exposure, white balance as you would on a manual DSLR camera.

LOW LATENCY
Stream video over a wired USB connection. This avoids the issue of delay over wifi, as many other solutions suffer from. This is just as fast as a USB webcam!

USB & WIFI
Choose the connection type. If you want low latency, use USB, if you'd like portability then use WiFi. WiFi is done using the NewTek™ NDI® protocol, so you can use Camera for OBS Studio with any NewTek™ NDI® compatible receiver.

REMOTE CONTROL
Control the app from your web browser on your computer. No need to have access to the device anymore to line up that shot perfectly.

MULTIPLE DEVICES
If you're lucky enough to own multiple iOS devices, use them together and produce a multi-camera stream.

MAC AND PC
Supports OBS Studio running on macOS and Windows.

You will need to install the OBS Studio iOS Camera Plugin from our website, or use an NDI compatible receiver to use this app.

For the best possible experience make sure your device is listed on our website https://obs.camera/docs/faqs/#what-ios-hardware-do-i-need

Need 4k 60fps support

So, i kind of had a lag problem even tho i have 1Gbs network, but it happened only one time so no problem there. It’s nice to have this app around in case you need it or just for quick vids. The big thing i would like is 4k 60 fps support. I have a 4k 60 fps camera on my phone and with my network i can support that. It would be nice to add an option for that. Will come back to write a review I’ll use it for a while. Keep it up guys. Let’s see the future ubdates.

Hi Teodor,

Thanks for taking the time to review our app.

You can use 4K 60FPS, go to camera settings and select a custom resolution, then pick 3840 x 2160 at 60FPS.

If you have more questions, don't hesitate to reach out via our website https://obs.camera/docs/contact/

Thanks

Perfect app for using the iPhone in OBS

I installed this app while searching for an affordable and immediate sollution for livestreamming our church services during lockdown. I‘ve been using this app for the last months for more then 3 times a week, I’m still using it and, since it never failed me, I will keep it! I use it with a Windows PC, obviously for livestreaming and recording with OBS, and what worked for me is to keep my iTunes open on my PC in order to make it work. Besides this small issue, the app is great! It definitely does its job. I‘ve been using it on an iPhone8 and 7Plus and worked perfectly! I recommended the app to several friends and worked great for all of them with all kinds of iPhones. I also enjoyed the last major updated especially the new zoom feature and also the other features that brought a more „professional“ feel to it. Honestly, after trying more apps for using iPhone in OBS, I can say that this is the best I could find. This review was in part triggered by the poor rating and all those negative reviews that simply puzzled me...

Hi RomanGoYe,

Thanks a lot for the review, this made our day.

We wish more of our happy users took the time to review the app.

Regarding iTunes, make sure "iTunes Mobile Device Helper" is running and in the start-up items in the Task Manager. You shouldn't have to open iTunes anymore.

Thanks.

Glitchy sound on iPhone 11

Very poor, glitchy sound on iPhone 11, basically unusable. I’m forced to use an external microphone.
When can we expect an update to fix this issue? It’s a long time since we are waiting.

Developer Response ,

Hello TihamerV,

Sorry for the bad experience.

The sound issue is still being investigated. It seems to be related to the computer hardware.

Could you send me the logs from OBS?
You can do so via our website https://obs.camera/docs/contact/

Thanks.
