  • In this video I show you how to use your smartphone as a webcam in Linux and Windows.
    To start you're going to need to install the v4l2loopback-dkms driver and the v4l2loopback-utilities (theres are dependencies for droidcam)
    Then install droidcam with the following commands
    wget www.dev47apps.com/files/linux...
    unzip droidcam_latest.zip -d
    cd droidcam
    sudo ./intall
    by default the resolution is 640x480
    if you want to change this vim into /etc/modprobe.d/droidcam.conf and change the pixel value of height and width
    Subscribe to my UA-cam channel goo.gl/9U10Wz
    and be sure to click that notification bell so you know when new videos are released.

    For audio, you also need to run "install-sound" file
    and enter this command after loading snd_aloop module and connecting to the phone
    " pacmd load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:Loopback,1,0 "

    is droidcam foss? ive been looking for something to do this to mess around with some SLAM stuff but i passed over it when i saw they released a paid "pro" version with extra features and figured that model probably wouldnt work if it was foss. i mean i guess you mention a workaround for the pro feature i was thinking of but its not paying money that im worried about tbh

    I am getting into this area of interest late and maybe I am attempting a wrong use of my phone. I have DroidCam installed on both my linux pc and my samsung galaxy a10e. I can stream through vlc but I can not figure out how to save the video to a file for later editing. Is that even possible with DroidCam or do I need some other app? any advice?

    Personally, i really like using iruin. Iirc it's not free, or open source, but it's awfully handy by showing a preview on the phone if phone screen is on, auto detects over the network so i don't have to enter details (Obvs not Uber secure then however), and can work over adb.

    For those, who get an error when trying to install "v4l2loopback" (mostly occurs on manjaro), you might need to install linux-headers. Use this command on Arch based distros: sudo pacman -S "linux$(uname -r | awk -F. '{print $1$2}')-headers"

    Try ‘Vivcam', which supports high definition (1080p) even in the free version.
    In addition to FHD, Wireless connection/ultra-low delay/face tracking/gimbal compatibility are also supported.
    It also works with video programs such as Zoom, Webex, Prism Live, OBS, XSplit, etc.
