Outstanding app, exceptional support

I’ve relied on OBS Camera for a long time. A recent update caused a serious decoding issue, and after I sent the developer my OBS log, he identified the problem and pushed a working fix within hours. The app is excellent, but that level of responsiveness is what really earned five stars.

Since update code glitches every 2 seconds

Since updating the video feed glitches every 2 seconds. I’ve paid for this and now it is unusable!

Brought my old iPhones back to life with multi cam

Three angles for the cost of one app. I'm running an iPhone 17 as my main, an old 15 I never traded in as a side angle, and a hand-me-down 13 mounted overhead. All three appear as separate sources in OBS and switching between them is just scene switching.
USB keeps them low-latency enough to stay in sync with each other and with my audio interface, which is the part I assumed would break and didn't. Per-device lens selection means I can go ultra-wide for the room and standard for the face shot, and per-device white balance means they actually match instead of one angle looking orange.
If you've got dead iPhones sitting in a drawer, stop shopping for cameras and buy this instead!!

Game changer

Amazing app and obs plug in. Allows me to use my iPhone as a camera source in obs which is much higher quality than any webcam I own.

dont buy unless you have $70

the watermark bounces around and unless you want to pay $70 to remove it permanently, its not even worth the download.
