About Strecam
Turn your iPhone or iPad into the best webcam for your Mac. Connect it with a cable and use it as a camera in OBS, QuickTime or your favorite streaming app: live video, no lag and no Wi‑Fi needed. A CAMERA WITH NOTHING ON SCREEN Strecam shows only your image: no buttons, no frames, no menus. Everything is controlled with gestures: • Double-tap: switch cameras (0.5× ultra wide, 1×, 2× and front) • Tap: focus on that spot • Swipe up or down: adjust brightness • Pinch: zoom • Press and hold: turn the flash on or off (rear camera) Works in portrait and landscape. FREE You'll only see a banner on the start screen and, sometimes, a video when you tap Get Started. Never while you're using the camera. If you like, watch a video and use Strecam for 24 hours without the watermark or video ads, or go Premium to remove them forever. TIP Turn on Do Not Disturb and silence your device so no notifications show up while you stream. HOW TO USE IT WITH OBS 1. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac with a USB‑C or Lightning cable. If asked, tap "Trust" on the device. 2. Open Strecam on your device and tap Get Started. 3. In OBS, click + under "Sources" and choose "Video Capture Device". 4.
