PhoneMic turns your phone into a wireless microphone for your Windows PC. BEFORE YOU START: PhoneMic comes in two halves. This app is the microphone; a small free app on your Windows PC is the other half. Install it first - download it at serdaroztetik.com/iphone-mic-pc - or the phone has nowhere to send your voice. SETUP IN THREE STEPS 1. On your PC, open serdaroztetik.com/iphone-mic-pc and run PhoneMicSetup.exe. It is free. 2. Install VB-CABLE when the installer asks, then reboot the PC once. 3. Put the phone and the PC on the same Wi-Fi. Your PC appears in PhoneMic by itself - tap it, then tap Start. Then in Zoom, Teams, Discord, OBS or any other app on the PC, choose CABLE Output as the microphone. Your voice comes through it. The app also has a full step-by-step guide built in, under the question mark in the top left. FEATURES - Low latency - uncompressed 48 kHz audio over your Wi-Fi, delay of a few dozen milliseconds - Works everywhere - shows up as a standard microphone in Windows - Keep streaming with the phone locked or the app in the background - Mute straight from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island - Live level meter so you can see your voice coming through - Private by design - audio never leaves your local network REQUIREMENTS - Windows 10 or 11 PC with the free PhoneMic receiver installed - Phone and PC on the same Wi-Fi network SUBSCRIPTIONS PhoneMic requires an active subscription to use the microphone and PC connection features: $4.99 per month, with a 1-month free trial for eligible subscribers.
