I have used obs.ninja [1] to pipe phone camera feeds as video inputs to OBS. I then use the virtual cam plugin to make that my webcam feed. This works great, but what I'd also love to do is take the audio from the phone mic as a browser input and use it as a virtual microphone. I've only been successful by using a VBCable pipe and setting the monitoring device, but what that ends up doing is also playing all of the sound OBS is capturing from my phone into my headphones too, so I get my own voice. If I mute OBS, the monitoring doesn't work, and so I get no audio. If I capture the audio completely outside OBS with another mic, everything's out-of-sync and I don't have portable audio. This is so close to a seamless way to turn any phone into a portable webcam with mic, but I haven't figured out that last little piece of the puzzle. However, I wanted to 1) shout out OBS for being such an incredible piece of software, and 2) shout out obs.ninja for what it does. Seriously impressive. [1]: https://obs.ninja/ https://obs.ninja/

  No, I think I shall thank you right now if it's all the same to you! I'm trying to do this on a Windows box so PA doesn't specifically work, but after a cursory glance over this page I think I can take this concept and work out how to map it to a Windows implementation with a bit of fiddling.

Have you tried DroidCam? https://www.dev47apps.com/ https://www.dev47apps.com/ Maps your phone to a virtual webcam, works over WiFi or USB

You can do just about anything with voicemeter banana and OBS. I was hesitant to install voicemeter since I've been burned by that kind of always-on low level virtual driver software before, but it is so stable and light that I forget it's even running. I needed a fairly complex set up for my D&D streaming: - send all desktop audio except Zoom output into Ableton live for post processing. - send desktop audio (sans zoom) from Ableton to twitch via OBS for background music and sound effects. - send ASIO device input (microphone) from Ableton to zoom after voice FX. - send zoom output to monitoring headphones only, so I can hear my players, but they can't hear themselves talking over the soundtrack. This was trivial up set up with voicemeter, and it even has a pretty amazing ASIO virtual insert device that lets you use it like a patch bay for Ableton with sub 10ms latency. It's also donationware so you don't have to pay to try it. The caveat is, while the configuration I use is indeed trivial to set up, the virtual insert device has a very steep learning curve and it took me several days to get it nailed down (though it's simple enough to communicate with two screenshots one you know what you're doing). I'm really impressed by voicemeter and highly recommend it to anyone that dabbles in streaming or video production.

  I think I hit the same point as you touch on, in that I identified voicemeeter as the likely solution but due to a rather intimidating number of options I couldn't quite summon the mental clarity to piece together the correct setup to achieve it. Like, I knew conceptually what I was trying to wire together but couldn't quite map it out. With breather's sibling comment, I suspect I'll be able to tease it out now.

    I just remembered that voicemeter is windows-only, but on the chance that you are using windows You can see my voicemeter setup here: https://forum.vb-audio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1201&p=4282&sid=5d4e9e471967a74d3ba30810d000e855#p4282 https://forum.vb-audio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1201&p=4282&s... It looks intimidating but it's actually only a few changed settings. My email address is in my profile if you have any questions.

I would recommend to try https://iriun.com/ https://iriun.com/ - cross-platform and it streams video + audio in very low latency to OBS.

  Is it open source?

    Unfortunately not, but the free version is quite reasonable (small logo).
