Instead of DroidCam
DroidCam alternatives
DroidCam’s main appeal is turning an iOS or Android phone into a webcam for chat and video production, with Wi-Fi or USB connections and controls for focus, exposure, zoom, color, and overlays. It names Zoom, Discord, Microsoft Teams, and OBS Studio as compatible programs. The PC webcam supports up to 1080p, and its OBS integration supports up to 4K. A free plan is available; the Pro subscription is $4.99 per month in the US Apple storefront. DroidCam runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, though its current Windows client requires Windows 10 or later.

The alternatives suit different needs: avatar-based video, broader camera choices, background tools, editing, or streaming to multiple platforms. Before switching, weigh whether you need a conventional phone-camera feed or a transformed one, which devices and computer versions are supported, and what the free tier permits. Connection options and resolution limits may also matter. DroidCam includes camera controls and an OBS plugin, so compare those against any added workflow tools—and against features you may not need.
