Is there a way to use android phone as an external camera without a 3rd party plug in?

No. The 3rd party plugin is required. Because android smartphone can't be connected to PC as DirectShow camera device (in Windows, OBS has build-in support for DirectShow audio/video devices and few capture cards).

Thanks so much
Yes. In addition to vdo.ninja, which requires a live internet connection to work, you can install an app on the phone that *doesn't* require live internet, and receive it with the browser source that OBS already has:
Multiple phone's as cameras and watermarks
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?
