connecting OBS thru phone to Facebook for livestream

[ladyjade]

Hello. I am trying to use my phone as a webcam for Facebook Live. I set up OBS on my desktop and phone and both are running fine and are communicating with each other, but when I go to try and connect them to Facebook, OBS isn't showing up as an option for a camera source. What step am I missing, or is this an issue with the software? TIA

you can use OBS Ninja for a wireless use of phone as camera. Go to google search OBS ninja and follow prompt.

If you have the phone camera appearing in OBS on your Mac (or PC, doesn't matter) then you treat your phone as any other camera (USB webcam, DSLR, etc).
Of course OBS doesn't appear as a camera source for Facebook... never will, and should not
Per Facebook explicit instructions on streaming using OBS (or other software), you will use Stream Key (not Camera) as source
Understand streaming is technically complicated... and there are LOTS of additional steps and considerations. Be sure to read, understand, and follow the setup steps
