A software component enables the utilization of an iOS device’s camera as a video source within OBS Studio, a popular open-source broadcasting and recording application. This connectivity facilitates the transmission of live video feeds from iPhones or iPads directly into OBS Studio for streaming or recording purposes. For example, content creators can use an iPhone’s camera as a secondary angle during a live stream, or leverage an iPad for drawing applications during tutorials.
The capability significantly broadens the range of accessible video sources for content creators, removing the necessity for dedicated webcams or capture cards in certain situations. The availability of this functionality provides a cost-effective and flexible alternative, especially beneficial for mobile streaming setups or scenarios requiring multiple camera angles. The development of such features reflects a growing demand for streamlined integration between mobile devices and desktop broadcasting software.
