Open source alternative to:

Mobile-Webcam (AWA/AWC) is a fully open-source solution that turns your Android phone into a high-quality webcam. It uses a serverless, local-only architecture with no cloud or signaling servers — your video stays entirely on your devices.

Features

  • 4K resolution support (480p, 720p, 1080p, 4K) with adjustable FPS
  • USB and WiFi connection modes — USB for lower latency, WiFi for wireless freedom
  • Virtual webcam output works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS, Discord, and any app that uses webcams
  • Electron desktop client for Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Kotlin Android app with front/back camera switching and real-time connection status

How it compares

Unlike DroidCam and iVCam, Mobile-Webcam is completely free and open-source (GPL-3.0). There are no paid HD tiers, no ads, and no cloud dependencies. DroidCam requires payment for HD resolutions and watermark removal, while iVCam limits features in its free version. Mobile-Webcam gives you full 4K resolution and complete privacy — all processing happens locally on your devices.
