What it does
TapCam makes your phone the webcam for your Windows PC. Scan the QR code on screen and the phone camera appears in Zoom, Teams, Meet, OBS and any app that lets you pick a camera. Video goes straight over your own Wi-Fi or a USB cable. No cloud, no account.
Use your phone as an HD webcam for your PC in Zoom, Teams, Meet and OBS. Wi-Fi or USB, free, no cloud. Windows 10 and 11.
Stream your phone's camera to your computer over Wi-Fi or a USB cable and use it in Zoom, Teams, Meet, OBS and any app that takes a camera. No cloud, no account. No accounts, no drivers to hunt down, no Bluetooth pairing dance. Scan a code and you are live. Open TapCam on your PC. It shows a QR code on your Wi-Fi network. Open the TapCam app on your phone and point it at the code. Direct connection, no cloud. In Zoom, Teams or any app, choose "TapCam" as the camera. Done. Connect your phone with a USB cable and TapCam pairs by itself: no Wi-Fi needed, rock-stable, and your phone charges while you stream. The video goes straight from your phone to your PC over your own Wi-Fi. Nothing is…from tapcam.app
