Telecast Camera for Android

I searched high and I searched low and wasted money on other apps, but this is hands down the best one for capturing video from my old Android 8, allowing full 4K streaming to OBS Studio. Very easy-to-use interface while giving you full control of the camera. Well worth the money and this app will save you money because you won’t have to buy an expensive high res webcam.

Every time open the app it lags or stops working. I stopped using it and and quitting the subscription. Don’t waste your money.

This is made by the same developer that powers the battle-tested “OBS Camera” app that twitch broadcasters use. The Android app allows you to control the video without fidgeting with your phone during a call.

I've been using this for several months with an older iPod touch and my Android mini, mostly with Chrome (Meet & Zoom) and OBS Studio and love it. It's a great solution to the expensive webcam problem, providing good stability and great image quality. Definitely a good use for an older Android, Mobile, or iPod touch.

I have tried just about every app to use my Android as a webcam when I don’t or can’t use my any of my Canon cameras. Telecast Camera is number one on my list and here’s why: 1. Reliable and consistent video feed. 2. Works with the platforms I use namely; Zoom, StreamYard. 3. As a photographer and videographer, I like the ability to use manual settings, which Telecast allows me to do. If you don’t, no worries because auto does a great job. 4. Image quality is excellent. 5. I can control device settings on my laptop with the Android OS companion app. (Note: all works with Big Sur) 6. I can adjust bitrates. 7. I use Telecast on my Android 11 Pro Max and Telecast allows me to select which camera to use i.e wide angle, ultra wide, telephoto and more. 8. Customer Service is very responsive. My production partner had a question just before we were going live online with a musical performance and bam we got a answer within a very short time. Same thing today, had a Big Sur issue and bam within 30 minutes I had my answer. Maybe I’ve been lucky but 2 for 2 works for me. I write all of this to help anyone who has been searching for THE app. This is the one. I am not affiliated with this company nor have I been paid to write this. I will only write a review when a product/app has helped me do my job, this one has so I pay it forward.
