or to connect your phone and use it as a
0:16
webcam while at the same time recording
0:19
using OBS Studio. Whether you want to
0:21
live stream or just you want to face
0:23
record, it is pretty much simple and you
0:26
don't have to pay for anything. It is
0:27
free. Now to get started all you need to
0:29
do is to go to any browser and then
0:32
download an app and this app is called
0:35
Droid
0:37
com just like that and here's the
0:40
website and you can see we have here
0:43
Droid com phone as webcam and choose the
0:46
second option install the Droidcom
0:48
install the Droidcom client on your
0:50
computer click on this option and it
0:53
will take you to this option where you
0:55
have to choose your operating system so
0:57
I'm on Windows and therefore I'll go
0:59
ahead and choose the Windows option and
1:01
then I'll download by clicking on this
1:05
and the download process will begin.
1:07
Once this is done, I'll proceed and go
1:09
ahead and install it
1:13
just the usual way you normally install
1:15
your apps.
1:17
So I'll agree and then go ahead and
1:19
install it and then I'll finish the
1:22
setup
1:24
and it is done. Now the program has been
1:26
installed on my computer. Now that that
1:29
is done, I'll now go ahead and also
1:31
download the same app on my smartphone.
1:33
And therefore for this I'll go to Google
1:36
Play Store
1:38
and then search for Droid com.
1:46
And as you can see the app is here.
1:50
I'll proceed and install it on my smart
1:53
on my smartphone. Now that I've already
1:55
installed it, I'll proceed and open and
1:58
then I'll have to continue and then
2:00
press okay. Then give it permission
2:04
like that. And here we go. It is done.
2:08
Now once you're done now proceed and go
2:11
to start menu here
2:14
and then you'll see this option called
2:16
Droid com client. Go ahead and click on
2:19
it. And then you're told click to add a
2:21
device. And you can see it has read my
2:24
device here. You can now from here go
2:26
ahead and refresh device list. You can
2:29
do it several times until it is done.
2:33
And now it will ask you to give your
2:35
device name. And then Wi-Fi IP. So I'll
2:39
go ahead and do the same. And I can
2:42
enable audio and then click okay. And
2:44
look at that it is connected. And you
2:48
can see now my camera is here. Now the
2:50
next thing I need to do is to go ahead
2:51
and add it in OBS. To do that I'll go
2:54
and click on OBS here and then go ahead
2:58
and add source here and choose video
3:02
capture device. So I'll choose this
3:08
and then okay and from here I'll have to
3:11
go ahead and choose the device and under
3:14
this I'll choose Droid com like that and
3:18
okay. So now you can see your camera
3:21
will be here and it will be capturing
3:23
anything that you are recording. For my
3:25
case, you not be able to see it because
3:26
I'm using the same OBS right now. I'm
3:29
using it for display capture. So that's
3:31
how you can use your phone as a webcam
3:33
on your OBS. So if you have any other
