FAQ
Quick answers
Is Iriun Webcam free?
Yes, the basic version is free. The free version shows a small watermark in the corner of the video. The paid version removes the watermark and adds higher resolution options. See the free vs paid comparison.
Does Iriun work with USB or only Wi-Fi?
Both. USB gives the lowest latency (1-5ms) and does not depend on your Wi-Fi quality. Wi-Fi is more convenient and works wirelessly. See the USB vs Wi-Fi guide.
Iriun not connecting — quick fix?
Make sure both your phone and PC are on the same Wi-Fi network. The PC client must be running before you open the phone app. If still not connecting, try USB mode or check your firewall. See the not connecting fix guide.
