Use Your Phone as a Webcam Wirelessly!
You may wonder why in the world you would want to use your phone as a webcam much less wirelessly? However, the truth of the matter is if you have a recent smartphone with a nice camera then you do not need to buy a webcam. You can use your webcam for an HD look and gain some flexibility with your phone.
Flexibility with your Phone as a Webcam
By using an app, namely EpocCam, you can use your phone via wifi aka wirelessly or connected via a USB cable. While I have used both, I prefer the wireless option so that I can position my phone anywhere that I like without the hassle of wires.
Sharpness
It goes without saying that the included cameras on most laptops or built-in computers like an iMac are "okay". They're not great but they will work. When you want to "level-up" for view, you could purchase an HD camera or use your existing smartphone.
Phone as Webcam Gear
I use a Reticam Tabletop tripod and the Reticam adapter to attach the phone to the tripod. It's also pretty steady and not one of those cheap plastic options.
How I Use my Phone as a Webcam
I have used this in a Zoom meeting and I've tested it when livestreaming using Ecamm Live for Mac. However, if I'm going to live stream, I will connect my USB to my computer or to a power outlet so that it can continue to charge during the broadcast.
