OBS Browser Source
Paste this URL into Sources > Browser. Set its width and height to your OBS base canvas (usually 1920x1080), then use Transform > Fit to Screen. Enable Control audio via OBS for the phone microphone.
Phone to OBS, directly
Use your phone as an OBS camera source.
Turn an iPhone or Android phone into a low-latency wireless camera for OBS. It runs in the browser, needs no app install, and keeps separate private links for the phone and your OBS Browser Source.
Existing links reopen automatically and are never replaced unless you explicitly invalidate them.

Practical details
Phone camera for OBS FAQ
Does this work with iPhone and Android?
Yes. It uses browser camera capture and WebRTC, so current Safari on iPhone and current Chrome-based Android browsers are supported.
Do I need to install an OBS phone camera app?
No. The phone publishes from its browser, and OBS receives it through a standard Browser Source.
Can OBS receive the phone microphone?
Yes. Enable “Control audio via OBS” in the Browser Source properties, then monitor or mix the source in OBS as usual.
Are the camera and OBS links public?
No. Each link contains a separate high-entropy capability in its URL fragment. The phone link cannot derive the OBS link, and the OBS link cannot publish video.
Can I save these links to my account?
Yes. Sign in, then explicitly choose “Save these links to my account.” The exact phone and OBS URLs are preserved and reopen on future signed-in visits.
What happens when I rotate the phone?
The complete camera frame remains visible. Portrait video has transparent space at the sides of a landscape OBS canvas; landscape video has transparent space above and below a portrait canvas.
When does a camera session expire?
A temporary pair expires after 24 hours without setup or phone camera activity. A pair explicitly saved to your account uses a two-year inactivity window. An actively publishing camera keeps its session alive.
