Sending a phone session to your computer

Phones can’t be a camera for other apps. Here’s the way around it.

Phones and tablets don’t let one app be the camera of another. To use a phone session in OBS or Zoom, send it to JigCam on a computer.

How to send it

  • Open the desktop app on the computer and choose Receive
  • On the phone, go live and choose Send to a computer
  • Pick the computer; the output appears as the “JigCam” camera

You can also record the output on the phone. Recordings carry the AI mark and content credentials, and JigCam doesn’t keep them.
