What is Droidcam?

DroidCam is a powerful app that transforms your phone or tablet into a webcam for your computer. This means you can use it during video calls on platforms like Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet, and Skype. Instead of relying on your computer's built-in camera, you can now use the camera on your mobile device for a potentially better quality video.

How Does Droidcam Works?

DroidCam works by connecting your Android device to your computer either through a USB cable or over a Wi-Fi network. Once connected, the DroidCam app on your phone communicates with the DroidCam client software installed on your computer, allowing it to access the camera feed from your phone and use it as a webcam.

Droidcam Reviews

I was in desperate need of a webcam to film art demos for work. I was able to use this app. It saved me from buying a camera. I did buy a $16 external mic because my phone mic was terrible. This app saved me big time........several weeks later it stopped working I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I am so frustrated...when it worked it was awesome now I have a deadline and this thing isnt working. Not a happy camper right now. Was about to buy the full version but not now.

I needed a new camera for working from home during the pandemic and I found there was a webcam shortage. Then I found DroidCam. It worked exactly as advertised for me. It was more trouble to clear a spot on my desk and set up a phone mount than it was to get the app working. My only warning is that it can drain your battery quickly, so I recommend plugging it in while in use. I upgraded to the pro version for the additional features, and as a thanks to the devs.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Todd Ogrin

This is fantastic, it does exactly as it describes with little to no problems. Personally I'm a huge fan of how they do their 'pro' app and how they do their ads. I don't need all the features of the 'pro' mode, so its nice being able to just use the free version to get video from your phone to your pc. And then I often use the hd video feature on my pc, and I absolutely have no issue trading 30 seconds of my time to watch an ad in return for receiving the hd video service. No complaints.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐TheVleh

Really neat app setup, that allows an unused smart phone to be used as a webcam. Looks good, and saved a few bucks on having to buy a stand-alone web cam. I'm currently using the free version, and may upgrade to the paid version if the need for HD arises. The connection that's being used at the moment is via USB. For the time being, everything works great!


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐John Golub

It works pretty well and has a low latency even when using the lan wifi mode, and also doubles as a microphone. I set it to HD mode in the software and the quality looks good. I'd honestly rather use this instead of buying a webcam for $60 to $100 because it's free unless if you pay for the premium version of this app which even then it's only $5 and it adds features like flipping the video feed and more. Definitely would recommend.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Ivan

I've been using this app since the pandemic started and I had to work from home. It saved me lots of headaches. It acts just like a good webcam. You can use your front or back camera and quality changes accordingly. If you like to rotate your camera to landscape you need to use the paid version. Still cheaper and more accessible compared to a webcam. I can set you a meeting on any PC anywhere.
