Phone as Camera
The best camera in the room is already in your pocket. Pair it once and every website sees it as your webcam.
How pairing works
- Enable Phone as Camera in the extension popup. A QR code and a 6-digit code appear.
- On your phone, open the phone page — scan the QR, or type the 6-digit code. On Android, the app link opens automatically.
- Allow the camera. The feed goes live in the site within seconds.
The code exists so the two devices can find each other, nothing more. After that, video travels directly from phone to browser, encrypted — our server never sees a frame and could not store one.
Built for real calls
- Front or rear camera, your choice, switchable from the phone.
- 720p live streaming on the free tier; 1080p planned for Pro.
- Auto-reconnect — network blip or a locked screen, and it comes back by itself; the site falls back to your Blank Screen feed meanwhile.
- One-tap rejoin — back within ten minutes? A single button, no new code.
- Haptic confirmations on Android, with a toggle.
What you need
- Phone: Android (Chrome) or iPhone/iPad (Safari) — no install required; the Android app is optional.
- PC: the VirtualCam extension in Chrome, Edge or Brave.
- Network: same Wi-Fi for both devices on the free tier. Phone-on-mobile-data pairing needs the Pro relay (planned).
Try it now — the phone page needs no install: open VirtualCam Camera. The phone page pairs with the VirtualCam extension (store review pending).
