OpenStream

Turn an Android phone into a wireless camera source for OBS Studio.

What it does

OpenStream sends an Android phone camera into OBS Studio over local Wi-Fi. It uses SRT transport, hardware encoding, audio, discovery, and camera slots for multi-camera setups.

Status: Beta

Quick start

  1. Install the Android APK from GitHub Releases.
  2. Install the Windows OBS plugin on the PC running OBS.
  3. Put the phone and OBS PC on the same LAN.
  4. Add an OpenStream V8 source in OBS.
  5. Open the Android app and pair it with an available camera slot.

Use a 5 GHz or Wi-Fi 6 network for lower latency. Guest Wi-Fi, VPNs, and client isolation can block discovery.
