Mobile Phone as Webcam
In this article, I will show you, how you could use your smartphone as a webcam for your pc and laptop. As almost everyone taking their class online due to COVID-19, I hope this is very helpful for everyone. Secondly, the camera on your phone is probably better than the webcam that we use with desktops or built-in laptops.
Cameras we use with desktops or in most laptops have low resolution as compared with mobile phones.
Converting your
smartphone to a webcam for your desktop is very simple and free as well. Let’s start by going
to install two different apps one on our pc and then one on our phone.
It supports all types of OS, doesn't matter if you're
using Windows.
Let’s get started,
just follow the given steps.
Step 1:
Open a
website in your browser (Chrome, Edge or Firefox etc) https://iriun.com just like the given

Just click on
your concerned operating system. It will
start downloading, as I am using Windows 10, I will show the Windows 10
installation. As soon download is finished
just install the IRIUN software by just clicking Next and Next.
As soon you
install there will be an icon on the desktop.
Step 2:
Now unlock your
smartphone (iPhone or Android) and open the concerned app store. As I am using an iPhone 7, so I click on App
Store. Then open the search by clicking the search
icon at the bottom left corner. Type Irium and
you will see the Irium app at the top, click on install.
