On iOS you can use the NDI HX capture app (currently free) to stream via low latency NDI protocol to your PC. There‘s a video guide at Newtek.com. App link: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ndi-hx-capture/id1501247823 https://apps.apple.com/de/app/ndi-hx-capture/id1501247823 Their NDI HX camera app is also currently free. It turns your iPhone / iPad into a low latency wireless webcam. You can use these with the OBS NDI plugin or the software provided by Newtek which turns an NDI source into a virtual camera.

Other iOS methods that may also be useful (as a general FYI): If you're just looking to share your iOS device to Zoom or other meeting apps, you can long-press the Control Center "Screen Recording" icon to select which app to direct your screen sharing to. If you'd like your iOS/tvOS device to be shown in a window on your desktop using only native iOS/tvOS/macOS tools, you can plug it into a macOS computer and use Quicktime Player > File > New Movie Recording and then select the iOS/tvOS device from the dropdown to the right of the Record button — no need to start recording — and it'll give you a live low-latency view of the iOS device.

  In the more casual-ish Zoom rooms I’m in. It’s pretty disliked for someone to natively Zoom screen share. Takes up too much space and initially focuses too much too.

Just what I was looking for. It is quite literally cheaper to buy a used or cheap smartphone than a webcam right now. Is there anything this good an Android? There's a lot of apps that promise to do it but they look a bit suspicious and I'm wary about putting them on my phone.

  It says iOS 13.1 or later required. Brand new or refurbished at least, iOS devices that can run iOS 13 aren’t that cheap yet. So yeah for sure I’d be interested in an android equivalent. Little knowledge of the ecosystem but I assume getting an okay Android device mostly just for this would be pretty cheap.

  You could use scrcpy (or even Miracast) to send an Android phone's screen on your PC, and then use your favourite virtual webcam app to share the stream with Zoom.

Any one have any idea why the screen capture and cam apps have low-ish stars? I know how flimsy and unreliable App Store reviews are. Still wondering.
