FOSS app for android to use phone as webcam.

[Skilowi]

Howdy. Is there any FOSS plugin/app for OBS/phone to turn my android phone into webcam? Literally no one ever had interest of making one? All we have right now are freemium apps which are pay to remove watermark or paid apps which cost same as webcam already lol. Theres also VDO.Ninja but its buggy as hell. Is there any free working app which lets stream video input from phone camera to OBS without paying? Did anyone even think of making such? Did anyone try or we still have only paid solutions?

Is making app to stream data from phone camera to OBS so much struggle it needs 25€ or share my data to 33 randoms to watch ad to remove watermark for one hour? Are yall serious?

This one is ad-supported, but the ads are only on the control screen on the phone, not the feed to OBS, and they don't delay the setup:

IP Webcam - Apps on Google Play

Turn your phone into a wireless camera!

play.google.com

Point a browser source in OBS to the URL that the app gives you on the control screen, and it should "just work". Free clean stream to OBS, indefinitely, with ads only on the unattended phone screen.
