Fair questions.

Can I use my iPhone as a webcam in OBS?

Yes. StreamCam turns your iPhone or iPad into a wireless camera: copy its address with the link button and add it to OBS as a Browser Source. No cables, no capture card, nothing to install on your computer.

What do I need?

An iPhone or iPad with StreamCam, and a computer running OBS, Streamlabs or just a browser. Both on the same Wi-Fi. That's the whole list.

How do I add it to OBS?

In StreamCam, tap the link button to copy the address. In OBS, add a Browser Source, paste the address and match the size to your canvas. Then tap Go Live in StreamCam, and your camera shows up in OBS.

Does it work with Streamlabs and Twitch Studio?

Yes. Anything with a Browser Source can show the feed, so you add the address in Streamlabs or Twitch Studio the same way you would in OBS.

Does it work with Apple Watch?

Yes. StreamCam on Apple Watch starts and stops the stream, shows how long you've been live and how many clients are connected, taps your wrist when something goes wrong, and puts your live status on your watch face. It's free, needs watchOS 26, and StreamCam has to be open on your iPhone.

Is StreamCam free?

Yes. The free version has no time limit and no watermark, and it includes the Apple Watch app. It streams in 720p at up to 30 fps to one client from one device. Pro adds higher resolutions and frame rates, encoder tuning, and as many clients and devices as you like.

Is it really 4K at 120 fps?

Those are the ceilings. What you get depends on your iPhone's camera and your Wi-Fi, and StreamCam only offers the sizes and frame rates your device can actually capture.

Does it send audio?

No — StreamCam is video only. Keep your mic plugged into your computer like you already do.

Windows? Linux? That weird old laptop?

If it can open a web page, it can show the feed. H.264 plays everywhere. HEVC saves bandwidth in Chrome, Edge and Safari on Mac (OBS on Windows needs Microsoft's free HEVC extension).

Does my video go online?

No. The feed travels from your phone to your computer over your own network. There's no StreamCam server in the middle and no account to sign in to.

What does Pro add?

Resolutions up to 4K, 60 and 120 fps, the full quality range, encoder tuning, and as many clients and devices as you like. If you bought Pro in an earlier version, it carries over.
