No one can deny that nowadays webcams have become a necessity. People require webcams if they want to join online meetings or have friendly video chats with friends far away. Using your phone as a Webcam will help you immediately have a Webcam to video chat with people.

However, many Desktops and laptops like the one I’m using don’t come with a webcam. So you are left with two options. You can spend some money to buy a new webcam or use your phone as a webcam on Windows. I would recommend the second option because you will save a small amount of money.

Most people don’t know how to use their Android or iOS phone as a webcam. Don’t sweat because, in this article, I will walk you through everything.

How to Use Your Phone as a Webcam for Windows and macOS

Use your phone as a Webcam on Windows or Linux

First thing first, before you follow the steps below to use your phone as a webcam, make sure that your smartphone and Windows PC are using the same WiFi connection. However, you can also use a USB cable to connect your phone to your Windows PC.

If one of the above is checked, go ahead and follow the steps:

  1. Download the app Droidcam Wireless Webcam on your smartphone.
    Note: Requires Android 5.0 or later.
  2. Now download and install client application Droidcam for your Windows PC.
    Note: The application is also available for Linux, but not for Mac OS.

Launch the app Droidcam on PC your and you will see that it will ask for the device IP. So it’s time to launch the app Droidcam on smartphone.

Note: The client is set on WiFi settings by default. However, you can also choose to connect via USB.

When you launch the app, skip everything to get to the page where you see your device IP.create a webcam with an old smartphone

Now enter that same device IP on the client on your PC.

Note: To choose between the front and back cameras, click the ellipsis icon > Settings > Select Camera. I recommend using the rear camera as it will give better video quality.Droidcam

In the PC app, check both video and audio options. If the audio option is not selected, your microphone will not receive any sound.

Finally, click start to see if you have success using your Android phone as a webcam.

If everything works fine, launch the video conferencing application you normally use and select Droidcam as your camera. And now you know how to use your Android phone as a webcam.

Note: The DroidCam app is also available for iPhone and works exactly like the Android version. However, DroidCam’s PC client is only available for Windows and Linux. So, if you want to use your Android or iOS smartphone as a webcam on macOS, read more below.

Use your old phone as a Webcam on MacOS

To use your phone as a webcam on MacOS, you must follow the same process as with Android. However, this time, the wireless webcam application you will use is EpocCam has a PC app for Windows and macOS. In addition, this application can be used for Android and iOS smartphones.

Use your old phone as a Webcam on MacOS

Note: To use your mobile phone as a webcam, make sure that your macOS system and your smartphone are connected to the same WiFi.

The best thing about EpocCam webcam software is that you don’t have to do extra things like you did with DroidCam. If you are connected to the same WiFi, launch the EpocCam app on your smartphone and then launch the app on your PC.

If you’re getting an app-to-app video feed on your PC, go ahead and select EpocCam as the camera in your preferred video conferencing application.

The only bad thing about EpocCam is that it’s not completely free. The free version comes with a lot of limitations. For example, your video resolution is limited to 640 × 480. Also, in the free version, you cannot use your iPhone’s microphone. So, if you want to use the free version, make sure you have a headset with a good quality mic.

However, you can get rid of all these limitations by downloading the Pro version of EpocCam. For iPhone you can upgrade to EpocCam Pro by paying $7.99 and for Android you have to pay $5.49 to upgrade.

So, these are the methods through which you can use your iPhone or Android smartphone as a webcam. I hope you can follow the steps without any problems. Good luck!
