A round-number release: a couple of handy controls plus a small picture-quality bump.

📱 Phone UI

  • Left-edge quick controls. A small cluster (Grid · Mirror · Dim) now lives on the left edge, so in a two-handed landscape grip your left thumb has controls too — the zoom and lens pills are on the right, and the left was empty. Grid and Mirror stay in sync with the same switches in Settings; Dim moved here from the top bar (shown only while streaming), tidying the top-right.
  • Zoom readout. While you pinch or drag the zoom, a big glassy zoom number (e.g. 2.4×) appears and fades — the camera-app touch that was missing.

🎥 Picture quality

Two standard webcam tweaks that make the image a touch crisper at no cost:

  • The stream now hints to the encoder that it's a mostly-static talking head, so it spends its bits on sharpness rather than smoothing.
  • Higher-quality scaling on the zoom/detail/filter path (better interpolation).

For the biggest jump in sharpness, also try Detail zoom (v1.9) and nudge the bitrate up in Settings.

📦 Install

  • PhoneCam-SingleFile.exe — one file, nothing to unzip. SmartScreen may warn → More info → Run anyway (unsigned, not harmful).
  • PhoneCam-Portable.zip — the classic folder; extract and run PhoneCam.exe.

Upgrading? Replace the app and reload the phone page once (⟳).
