OBS 4K

An iPhone-to-Mac camera streaming app with USB or Wi-Fi transport and optional advanced camera controls.

Our take

Consider after verifying the receiving Mac setup

Using an existing phone as a webcam may avoid buying another camera when the supported workflow meets the need.

Keep in mind: The capture does not establish official OBS affiliation, a bundled receiver installation or compatibility with every conferencing app. Quality and latency depend on hardware and connection.

What you can do

  • Stream supported 4K, 1080p or 720p camera feeds
  • Choose supported lenses
  • Use screen-curtain mode
  • Access eligible Pro exposure, focus and profile controls

Good for

  • Users able to test the complete phone-to-Mac path before a call or broadcast.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting a standalone Mac camera without receiver setup or guaranteed 4K output in every destination.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.0.
  • The capture does not establish official OBS affiliation, a bundled receiver installation or compatibility with every conferencing app. Quality and latency depend on hardware and connection.

Privacy & permissions

Camera streams can expose private rooms and people. Use trusted receiving devices and review microphone or network permissions.
