Download

Use DroidVideo-0.3.2-Android.apk on your phone and DroidVideo-0.3.2-Windows.exe on your PC. The EXE includes ADB, the OBS plug-in and virtual camera.

New in this release

  • Guided setup at launch: choose OBS Studio or another camera app, install the Windows component, then follow the phone setup steps. Reopen the guide from the sidebar whenever needed.
  • Run in background: keep streaming from the Windows system tray with the desktop preview decoder stopped. Double-click the tray icon to return; right-click to quit.
  • Pause preview: keep the controls visible while stopping preview decoding. OBS and virtual camera output continue.
  • Virtual camera: D3D11 hardware decoding when available, software fallback during format negotiation, reusable software output buffers and fewer CPU frame copies.
  • Android installation: clear guidance for insufficient internal storage and signature conflicts. Connecting checks that the phone app exists before launching it. Android activity errors are detected even when ADB reports a successful process exit.

Update

Close the old DroidVideo Windows app, open the new EXE and follow the setup window. If updating from a version older than 0.3.1, close OBS and reinstall the included OBS plug-in from Setup. A compatible installed virtual camera can stay installed.

If your phone is out of storage, free internal space in Android Settings → Storage, then retry installation. The app does not delete your files automatically.

Verification and limits

Android build/lint and 20 desktop tests passed. Both D3D11 and forced software paths decoded the complete 1080p60 and 4K30 fixtures and produced output before a fifth input frame or end of stream. Native pixel/format checks and browser checks for the setup guide and preview pause/resume passed. Package contents and icons were verified.

These are synthetic checks, not a guarantee of sustained 4K performance in every receiving app. Packaged startup, tray interaction and elevated installation still need an end-user check. Windows builds remain unsigned; Android uses the existing development signature.
