Last fall, during covid-19, I started working on an app to use my iPhone as a webcam for my Mac. I had some interest in it, so I recently released it publicly last month.
There are similar apps out there, but to my knowledge my app is the only one that is both 100% free and supports 1080p @ 30 FPS.
Hope any of you find it useful: https://webcamplus.app https://webcamplus.app
- FractalHQ 6y agoI love you for this. I was pulling my hair out trying to hack something together using the crappy apps out there for it. Can’t believe it’s not a native feature. Excited to try this and send it to some friends facing similar issues!
- antomeie 6y agoThank you for the comment, I truly appreciate it! Let me know if you have any questions.
- Jugurtha 6y agoCool. Are you aware of something similar but Android--> Ubuntu ?
- antomeie 6y agoI don't know of any unfortunately, but I have also not looked around for it, so it is possible it exists.
- 908B64B197 6y agoDoes the iOS app speaks a known protocol over USB?
- antomeie 6y agoFor the video stream I am using my own custom protocol, but it is on top of TCP. If that is what you meant.
- 908B64B197 6y agoYes. Well I was wondering how hard it would be to support other platforms than Mac. Had it used a standard protocol it could have been possible to plug and play a different virtual webcam provider.
