If you've ever wanted to use your iPhone camera as a video & audio input to stream using OBS Studio, we've got you covered. We've tried all the apps that let you do it over WiFi, but they're not fast enough, so we also allow you to use a wired USB connection. The original one. QUALITY VIDEO Your iPhone/iPad camera's are good, really good. In fact, there’s no comparison between the highly recommended streaming webcam, the Logitech C922 HD Pro and the iPhone 6 Camera. Stream Landscape or Portrait video. AUDIO If you don't have a separate mic for your streaming setup, you can now use the microphone on your iOS device to stream audio & video. FRONT CAMERA Stream a selfie with the front camera support. Switch anytime during the stream with the familiar camera switch button. TAP TO FOCUS, PINCH TO ZOOM Controls just like you're used to from the Camera app. MANUAL CONTROLS Take control of the focus, exposure, white balance as you would on a manual DSLR camera. LOW LATENCY Stream video over a wired USB connection. This avoids the issue of delay over wifi, as many other solutions suffer from. This is just as fast as a USB webcam! USB & WIFI Choose the connection type. If you want low latency, use USB, if you'd like portability then use WiFi. WiFi is done using the NewTek™ NDI® protocol, so you can use Camera for OBS Studio with any NewTek™ NDI® compatible receiver. REMOTE CONTROL Control the app from your web browser on your computer. No need to have access to the device anymore to line up that shot perfectly. MULTIPLE DEVICES If you're lucky enough to own multiple iOS devices, use them together and produce a multi-camera stream. MAC AND PC Supports OBS Studio running on macOS and Windows. You will need to install the OBS Studio iOS Camera Plugin from our website, or use an NDI compatible receiver to use this app. For the best possible experience make sure your device is listed on our website https://obs.camera/docs/faqs/#what-ios-hardware-do-i-need MORE Subscriptions will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase.

Wotcha turns everyday requests into clear responsibilities. Write what needs doing, add the details and share it. The other person can accept, ask for a change or say they can’t. You both know what was agreed, who has it and how it’s going. From a school pickup to a holiday-let changeover, the request, checklist, place and messages stay together. A CLEAR HANDOVER • Break a job into small steps, called Wots. • Add a place, address or postcode using Apple Maps, then open it from the Wotcha. • See who’s taken responsibility, with their picture when available. • Leave a message when accepting or completing a request. • Keep follow-up messages with the original job, even after it’s sorted. • Add photos and supported documents to explain what needs doing. • Follow checklist progress and see when the job is finished. • Save familiar requests as Routines to use again. SHARE IT YOUR WAY Send someone a link through your usual messaging app or email. They can open the Wotcha in their browser and respond without installing the app or creating an account. Use Circles to share responsibilities with family, friends or a team. You can also keep a Wotcha for yourself. MADE FOR REAL LIFE Co-parenting Coordinate pickups, school bags, clubs, appointments and belongings moving between homes. Property and holiday lets Organise guest changeovers, cleaning, maintenance, deliveries and key handovers. Add the property’s location so everyone knows where to go. Family logistics Share shopping, lifts, errands and the everyday things somebody needs to remember. Small teams Hand over customer follow-ups, equipment checks, reviews and practical jobs. Care and support Arrange shopping, transport, collections and check-ins between the people helping. Trades and field work Keep the location, instructions and checklist together for repairs, visits and work on site. Clubs and events Find someone to collect the keys, bring the kit, set up the venue or put everything away. Jobs needing a recorded result Keep meter readings, completed checks and notes explaining what was done alongside the original request. Personal organisation Capture something as it occurs to you and keep it ready for the right time. One request. Someone’s got it. Sorted.
