IOBS
SYSTEM_ONLINEYour iPhone as a wireless camera and mic for OBS
The Problem
Setting up a secondary camera or mic for streaming shouldn’t require:
- Buying dedicated hardware
- Installing capture software
- Fighting with USB cables and drivers
- Being stuck at your desk
You already have a 4K camera and quality microphone in your pocket.
How It Works
- Start streaming from your iPhone
- Add to OBS as a browser source
- Done
No app downloads. No account signup.
Stream Video, Audio, or Both
IOBS isn’t just a wireless camera—it’s a complete wireless A/V source:
- Camera only — Add a second angle without audio overlap
- Mic only — Use your iPhone as a wireless lavalier
- Both — Full wireless camera + mic in one source
