    VDO.Ninja is a powerful tool that lets you bring remote video feeds into OBS or other studio software via WebRTC.

    • Depending on what you want to use it for I'd probably just use VDO Ninja myself - documentation here, basically just open the website on both your phone and your PC and then you could use your phone's camera on your PC's OBS or skype or whatever
