Phone camera for OBS · Free
Your phone's camera is far better than the one in your laptop. CelerCam puts it straight into OBS — the picture follows you, and your lips stay in sync.
Windows · macOS · USB or WiFi
Three common failures
Three complaints come up again and again with tools like this: the picture lags, it drops out, and a weak network turns it into a slideshow. We handled all three.
Many tools buffer frames before sending them, in the name of stability. The cost is that you always see the past. CelerCam does the opposite — the newest frame goes straight through, late ones are dropped.
When the link can't keep up, quality drops a little to protect smoothness, then climbs back once it recovers. You don't have to guess at settings.
A loose cable or a WiFi hiccup won't end your stream. The picture comes back on its own.
Measured
These numbers come from real runs. The method and raw samples are public.
Setup
No IP addresses, no commands to type.
Download the file for your system, drop the folder into the OBS plugin location, restart OBS.
Plug in USB, or make sure the phone and computer share a WiFi network. Press start.
Sources → Add → CelerCam. The picture appears, and from there it behaves like any camera.
Remote control
Adjust these on the phone, or from OBS once it's mounted and out of reach. Which controls appear depends on what your camera supports.
