DroidCam vs VSCO

DroidCam turns an Android or iOS phone into a webcam for computer chat and video production software. It connects over WiFi or USB and describes its video transfer as low latency. Compatible programs listed include Zoom, Discord, Microsoft Teams, and OBS Studio. Its OBS plugin connects a phone camera directly to OBS without a separate client. Image controls include exposure, focus, zoom, color adjustment, rotation, flipping, and mirroring, plus custom text, image, or video overlays. The PC webcam supports up to 1080p, while OBS integration supports up to 4K. The free plan provides 480p SD video without a watermark; HD and other Pro features require an upgrade. The listed Pro Upgrade is $4.99 a month, with the price shown by Apple for the US storefront. DroidCam supports Windows, macOS, and Linux computers alongside Android and iOS phones. Its privacy policy says it does not collect personal information and that audio and video streams are normally contained within the local network, while noting that third-party analytics and advertising tools may collect usage or device-related information.
