Pocket Webcam

■ Turn your phone into a PC webcam

Pocket Webcam streams your phone's camera and microphone to your PC.
No driver or companion app is needed on the PC: the picture opens right in a browser, and with OBS Studio you can pick it as the camera in Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and other video-call apps.

■ Three ways to connect

- Same Wi-Fi: open the URL shown in the app in your PC's browser. Phones and tablets can scan the QR code to watch
- USB: with USB debugging on, run adb forward and connect without any Wi-Fi
- Wi-Fi Direct: the phone creates its own Wi-Fi network, so it works where there is no router and no mobile data

■ Video and audio

- 480p, 720p or 1080p, up to 15, 24 or 30 fps, three quality levels
- Back or front camera; orientation automatic, portrait or landscape
- Stream microphone audio too. The OBS URL carries video and audio together in one stream, so lips and voice stay in sync
- In the browser, sound plays with low delay

■ Keeps streaming with the screen off

A notification is shown while streaming, and the stream keeps running with the screen off or another app in front. Stop it from the notification at any time.

■ Built with privacy in mind

- Viewer URLs contain an access key; devices without it cannot watch. You can renew the key at any time
- Video and audio go only to the devices you connect, directly. Nothing is sent to the developer or to third-party servers
- Nothing is recorded or stored
- The microphone is used only while a device is receiving audio

■ Please note

- To appear as a camera in video-call apps, the free OBS Studio is needed on the PC
- While connected by Wi-Fi Direct, a PC with a single Wi-Fi adapter is off the internet
- The app is free and shows ads when you are not streaming. No ads are shown while streaming. There are no in-app purchases
- Available in English and Japanese; it follows your device's language
