System Requirements
iVCam is lightweight and runs on a wide range of Windows hardware.
For best performance at 1080p/60fps or higher, we recommend connecting via USB and using hardware decoding (enabled by default).
Install & Connect in 4 Steps
Setting up iVCam on Windows takes under 5 minutes. Follow these steps to get your phone working as a webcam.
Download & Install the PC Client
Download the iVCam Windows client (64-bit recommended) and run the installer. It installs a virtual webcam driver called 'e2eSoft iVCam' that appears in Device Manager under Imaging Devices. All webcam-enabled apps on your PC can use this driver. Installation takes under a minute and requires no configuration.
Install the iVCam Mobile App
Download the iVCam app from the App Store (iPhone/iPad) or Google Play (Android). The app is free. Once installed, open it and keep it on screen — it streams live video from your phone's camera directly to your PC over your local network or USB cable.
Connect via Wi-Fi (Automatic)
Make sure your phone and PC are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Launch the iVCam PC client and the mobile app. They detect each other automatically using Bonjour service — no IP address entry required. Within seconds, your phone's camera feed appears on screen and becomes active in all your video apps.
Or Connect via USB (More Stable)
For zero-latency, rock-solid video: connect your phone to the PC with a USB cable. For iPhone, iTunes must be installed. For Android, enable USB Debugging in Developer Options. iVCam will automatically switch to USB mode when it detects a USB connection — no extra setup needed.
What the Windows Client Can Do
4K, 1080p, 720p Video Output
Stream your phone's camera at up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second. iVCam supports 4K, 2K, 1080p, 720p, 480p, and 360p. The output appears as a standard webcam source — choose any resolution that matches your streaming or recording requirements.
Background Removal (No Green Screen)
Remove or replace your background in real time using AI-powered segmentation. Choose from blur, bokeh, mosaic, or a custom image or video. Requires Windows 10 or later and a GPU with DirectX 12 support. Works in Zoom, Teams, OBS, and all other webcam apps automatically.
Wireless Microphone Input
Use your phone as a wireless microphone alongside the video feed. iVCam registers a separate 'e2eSoft iVCam' audio device on your PC that any recording app can use. Higher-quality mic hardware on modern smartphones often outperforms the built-in laptop microphone significantly.
Multi-Camera Support
Connect multiple phones to a single Windows PC simultaneously. Each device registers as an independent webcam source. Use separate instances of iVCam to manage each camera. Ideal for multi-angle streaming in OBS Studio or vMix without investing in dedicated hardware cameras.
Full Camera Control from PC
Adjust exposure, ISO, white balance, focus, and zoom directly from the PC client's Camera Settings window — no need to touch your phone. Switch between front and rear cameras, enable face beautify, toggle flash, and flip or mirror the video. Hardware decoding is enabled by default for low CPU usage.
Local Recording & Snapshots
Record video or take snapshots directly from the PC client. Files are saved to your local drive in MP4 format. No third-party recording software needed. You can also configure the output folder, file name prefix, and whether audio is recorded from the phone microphone or your PC's microphone.
Wi-Fi vs USB — Which Should You Use?

💡 For the best Wi-Fi experience, connect your PC to the router with an Ethernet cable (while your phone stays on Wi-Fi). Make sure both devices are on the same frequency band (both 2.4 GHz or both 5 GHz).
Full Wi-Fi GuideUSB Connection
Most Stable- Near-zero latency and rock-solid stability
- Supports up to 1080p/60fps on USB 2.0
