In their own words
Iriun Webcam
Iriun Webcam lets a phone camera serve as a wireless webcam for a PC or Mac. Setup involves installing the computer software and phone app, then using the phone with a video application. On Android, connections can use Wi-Fi or USB, and the app supports resolutions up to 4K, depending on the phone model. Listed camera features include pinch zoom, mirroring, and operation while the phone screen is off. The Android app names Teams, Zoom, and OBS as compatible video applications. Desktop downloads are listed for Windows 7 or later, macOS 12.3 or later, and Ubuntu 22.04 or later. The iOS app requires iOS 13.0 or later and iPadOS 13.0 or later. The Android app is free with ads and in-app purchases. Its Pro option removes ads and the watermark, enables manual ISO, exposure, and white balance adjustments, and adds desktop remote camera control. The German App Store listing shows an in-app purchase called “Pro version” for 7,99 €.
