Note
Android Webcam Project currently supports Android and Windows. I'd like to expand it to iOS and macOS, but Apple development requires access to macOS hardware.
If you'd like to support the project, sponsorships will help fund the hardware needed to develop and test Apple-platform versions. Turn your Android phone into a high-quality webcam using a fully local, serverless architecture.

The desktop client creates a virtual webcam that works with:

- ✅ Any app that uses webcams!
The virtual webcam should appear automatically in your video apps.
Edit in mobile app settings or in code:

- 720p (1280x720) - Recommended for older phones
- 1080p (1920x1080) - High quality
- 4K (3840x2160) - Maximum quality

*** Virtual Webcam Device is back in v1.0.6. Enjoy AWP - Android Webcam Project! Virtual webcam device was not included in client version v1.0.5 as I was investing an issue. I released it in the next version with Virtual camera included. If you need the Virtual camera, please install client version v1.0.6
Happy streaming! Made with ❤️ and ☕ by developers, for developers.
