HandyCam

HandyCam is a Free Libre Open Source Software that works as a replacement client for the popular Smartphone Webcam Software Droidcam. It works in tandem with the Official Droidcam OBS Plugin. The purpose of HandyCam is to allow you to use any reasonably recent smartphone as a mobile webcam with OBS.

  • Select any quality settings your camera supports
  • Stream low latency video to OBS
  • Remotely start/stop the stream and control the camera settings using the webinterface or the restAPI
