How To Use A Phone As A Webcam In OBS & Streamlabs For FREE

The three options we’re using today are called VDO Ninja, Epoccam, and Epoccam Pro.

First, let’s cover VDO Ninja, this is an entirely web based tool, and it’s also entirely free.

To use it, you’re going to get your streaming PC, and your phone, then on your streaming PC, open a browser and go to VDO.Ninja, linked in the description.

You’re going to be met with a few options, for today, just click create a room. Type in a super secret room name, and password, then if you want a specific video codec pick that, or leave it on default.

Once that’s done, click join as Director, now you’re met with a few options, it says invite guest, capture group scene, it has guests down here, but we’re going to click Copy link on the invite guest, then message that to ourselves via email, or discord, or just something you can access from your phone.

Then open your phone, go to the message, copy the link, and paste it into your phones browser.

From there, you join room with camera, and can give it permission to use your camera, then click start, and it should appear on the website where guest 1 was.

Now to add this to your stream you’ll go to OBS, or if you’re using a different tool like streamlabs go there, and click add source, add browser source, copy the link from capture group scene into the browser source, set the resolution to 1920 by 1080, click refresh scene when active, control audio via OBS, and click save.

How To Change White Balance Inside Streamlabs OBS or OBS

Essentially different lights produce different color temperatures, you need to set your webcam or any camera to match that white balance so that you get accurate colors.

Normally set my key light up so that it is producing daylight or white color of around 4500 kelvin, and I will set my white balance to something similar in my camera. For now, there are charts you can use to help but essentially the mistake is that people don’t set this manually meaning the webcams and camera often try to adjust it automatically and the camera gets it VERY wrong!

The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty.
