If I purchase the pro version to get rid of the watermarks and i want to run 2 different phones as cameras ... will i need buy the pro version for each phone separately?

Ok thanks ... It must be the droidcam obs app that puts the watermark on then.
Is there way to connect an android phone as an external camera without a 3rd party app?
If you really just want to avoid the watermark, then you might look at the IP Webcam app:
It has ads, but only on the phone screen. The video feed to OBS is only the camera, and nothing else. Receive it with a web browser, pointed to the address that it gives you on the phone screen. Then once you have it full-screen in the browser, copy the resulting URL from the standalone browser, into a browser source in OBS.

I like that app better than vdo.ninja, because I KNOW that the app doesn't require internet and doesn't pass the stream up to a server and back down again. VDO requires internet to at least start the connection, which makes me wonder what *else* it's doing on the internet, whereas the app only needs to be on the same network. Even if that network is its own isolated island, IP Webcam still works and doesn't complain.

You can use own server (in local server too) to use vdo.ninja. Webrtc need server to connecting, all data send only to clients (peer to peer) or use turn server (only if you use NAT connection).
I also use IP Webcam PRO.

Amazing thank you.
