01
A camera Windows can use
Select STICam in a compatible app such as OBS, Zoom, Teams, or Discord after the preview is ready.
STICam / WINDOWS + ANDROID
Your Android phone. Your Windows webcam.
Use the camera you already have for video calls and recording. STICam connects an Android phone to a Windows 11 PC over USB or trusted local Wi-Fi, then makes it available as a Windows virtual camera.
Free to use · Proprietary freeware · Windows host + Android app
BUILT FOR THE EVERYDAY SETUP
One useful job. A few ways to do it.
02
Choose your connection
Use a USB/ADB connection at your desk, or trusted local Wi-Fi when a cable is inconvenient.
03
Frame and adjust
Use on-device auto-framing and supported camera controls from the Windows host. Available controls depend on the phone.

GOOD TO KNOW
Before you ask.
Do I need an account or subscription?
No STICam account is needed. STICam is free to use under its proprietary freeware terms; it is not an open-source app.
Does it work on macOS or an iPhone?
This setup is for an Android phone and Windows 11 PC. Do not assume support for other operating systems.
Can I use it for an important meeting immediately?
First check that your target app detects STICam, then test your actual lighting, camera, and connection. Device behavior and network quality vary.
