OpenCamera turns your phone into a webcam for your computer. The desktop app installs a virtual camera, so video apps like Zoom, Teams, Meet or OBS can use your phone's camera as if it were a regular webcam. The phone's camera stream goes straight to your computer over your local Wi-Fi network, and phones on your network are the only ones that can reach it.
Connecting takes a few seconds and needs no app on the phone. Open OpenCamera on your computer, choose "Connect a Device" and scan the QR code with your phone's camera app. You don't need an app on your phone just a browser.
