So if you want to learn how to use your phone camera as a web camera you're in the right place!

This video will be helpful for Teachers, Livestreamers, Virtual Presenters and Creators who want to use their phones as a webcam.

I wasted money on Webcams thinking it was going to upgrade the quality of the image when doing Zoom calls, Microsoft Team Meetings, Google Hangouts, Discord etc.

After messing around with the web camera control software from Logitech for several hours I decided to give up on it, it just couldn't seem to produce the quality that I was looking for as a former Videographer.

So I started researching alternatives and discovered that you could use applications like FiLMiC Pro, Camo and EpocCam to turn your iPhone or Android device into a web camera.

The quality and controls blew me away 🤯!

Finally, I could stop fiddling around with my lighting setup in the home studio and focus on creating content.

This video focuses on comparing EpocCam from Elgato and Camo from Reincubate. They are similar yet unique applications with different capabilities.

I use Camo multiple times a day for EVERYTHING (Zoom, FaceTime, video messages, etc.). The app has a record option as well. As an actor, I use that feature for ALL my self-tapes. The videos are saved to the computer. No need to ever worry about running out of room on my phone. Gave away my webcam. It's crazy how great my video looks. The lifetime license is well worth it.

Since this video has been released Elgato has released a desktop application that gives you a lot more options. Still not as many options to fine-tune the image quality but I also wouldn't say that camo's $ 80-lifetime license is that much better.

Man you're replying after more than a year. May your channel reach enormous success😊

I just purchases a lifetime CAMO Pro 1.7 for $125 (AUD) to use with iPhone 13 Pro Max and looking forward to maxing out this software in my Live Streams. Thank YOU for producing this AWESOME video! New Sub here. Cheers from Western Australia

[angela-r]

Thank you! Just the video I was looking for. Although I couldn’t use your discount for the Camo lifetime version which is what I wanted to get for this. I may still be buying this, but may wait to see if they have any sales coming. Thanks again - great video!

With epocam i Got audio latency when speaking my lips move after I speak

08:06 "I'm always in focus" as you're focused on the wall behind you haha. I know you were actually talking about the app's focus ability, it was just a funny moment out of context :p

[StevenTheGeek]

Great video. I disagree on one point, it’s apple that need to step up, Elgato & Logitech both have 4k/60 cameras, iPhone has USB2 so wifi is needed for the higher quality iPhone settings. Thank goodness Apple are banned from using the lightning connector now, surely they won’t be crazy to still cap at usb2 on usb-c socket.

[mechanicalguru]

sorry but the audio on my app camo at my laptop is not showing your audio is showing but mine is blur no audio .

[PontusWelin]

Camo has support for wireless connection now too.

[steveslivemusic]

This is exactly the information I was looking for. I have a Logitech WebCam that I bought not too long ago but haven’t been happy with the image quality. Then I was thinking why do I need a webcam when I can just use my phone? Duh! I hadn’t even heard of a EpocCam or Camo before so thank you so much for this very educational video Matt!

[JunkBondTrader]

haven't checked these apps out in a while. All my stuff is currently in storage so in the meantime I went back to DroidCamX for live streams. Years late it still freezes my streams occasionally for no apparent reason, on 720p, with a powerful pc and fast wifi connection. Still prefer the webcam though. Maybe phones have slightly better qualiuty, but the new webcams quality is still very good, instant usb connection, always on, and frees your phone up during stream, and the connection is just much more stable, no third party app to open, etc. But we'll see, maybe these will surprise me. Gonna try EpoCam first and go from there. Nice vid! Cheers.

This review is really helpful. Thank you! 👍❤️

[tommoffat]

Any idea why Camo sometimes stutters/lags and the colour seems rather orange/yellow?

[MattyCrypto]

I've look at about 12 of these videos and no one actually shows you how to set up the cables from iphone, to video capture or hdmi to your computer? What are the steps for the cable hook ups please?

[steveschoenauer]

Are there any apps that include a picture shutter button? I'd like to be able to press a button on the app to capture a still picture, just like the iOS camera app.

[Scarlett_Syringe]

I wanted to try to get the EpocCam app working because I paid for it. I’ve been using it fine since April but recently it started being really laggy and freezing. 😕 idk why. I used to connect with WiFi. But even if I use the USB cable it still freezes. After I reset everything its fine and then it freezes again.

[JD-cohx]

Depending on what you're trying to do, epoccam is $8 for the pro version while camo has a subscription model or $80 for a lifetime subscription. I'm not sure the camo set up is $70ish better for my usage but like you said if you're using it for content creation the camo setup is probably a better tool. If that 15% coupon would work for the lifetime access for camo I'd probably still go with camo.
