Download just two files

  • DroidVideo-0.3.0-Android.apk — install on your Android phone.
  • DroidVideo-0.3.0-Windows.exe — open on your Windows PC. ADB, the OBS plug-in, the virtual camera and their setup tools are already included.

Connect your phone, click Connect, then Start video. For OBS, close OBS and use Setup → Install OBS plug-in in DroidVideo. Reopen OBS and add DroidVideo Camera + Audio. For other camera apps, click Enable under Windows virtual camera; the first click installs it too. Accept the Windows permission prompt when installing a component.

What changed

  • The virtual camera decodes H.264 directly in a native Windows helper, removing full-resolution pixel transfers through the browser preview.
  • Faster 4K rotation, reused frame buffers and bounded decoder input reduce processing overhead and queued latency.
  • The preview renders at a smaller size while camera output retains its full resolution.
  • Built-in ADB and one-click native component setup replace the separate component ZIP.
  • Simpler English instructions, optional Hungarian, custom app icons and devkos1 author metadata.
  • Licenses and matching native source are inside the EXE; open Licenses & source in the app.

For 4K in OBS, use the DroidVideo Camera + Audio source and leave Windows virtual camera off. The camera remains available for other compatible apps.

Preview status

Android build/lint, 16 Node tests, pixel-exact native conversion/rotation checks, 1080p60/4K30 native decoding, browser integration and package contents were verified. Sustained performance depends on the phone and PC. Actual elevated installation, packaged-app startup and real phone-to-OBS streaming still need device testing. Verification details.

Windows binaries are unsigned, so an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen warning may appear. The devkos1 author metadata does not replace a trusted signature. Android uses a development signature. Windows N may require the Media Feature Pack. Some phones require a manufacturer USB driver; Wi-Fi is an alternative. The virtual camera carries video only; phone audio is available through the OBS plug-in.
