## How to use a mobile phone as a webcam

If you use a computer without a webcam or your camera is of poor quality, you can use your phone as a webcam.

This can be used, for example, via the application EpocCam.

You can download the app for free for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kinoni.webcam2) / [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/epoccam-webcam-for-mac-and-pc/id449133483).

There is also a paid version for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kinoni.webcampro) / [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/epoccam-webcamera-for-computer/id435355256). It brings some other features such as HD video, flash support, watermark removal, etc.

You shall then download the application to your PC or Mac [EpocCam viewer](http://www.kinoni.com/).

Setup is quite simple. Just connect your phone via USB or WiFi.

You need to have both your phone and PC/Mac applications turned on.

Both devices should be connected and the PC/Mac will display the image from your phone's camera.

Next, you need to set your phone as an OBS image source.
