OBS questions
Iriun microphone audio in OBS
Iriun can stream phone microphone audio to Windows. In OBS, add an Audio Input Capture source and select Iriun Webcam (or the Iriun audio device). This gives you phone microphone audio as a separate audio track in OBS. See audio guide.
Can I use Iriun as a phone camera in OBS for streaming?
Yes — this is a popular use case. Many streamers use a phone as a high-quality webcam via Iriun because phone cameras often have better sensors than dedicated webcams. USB mode ensures consistent quality during long streams.
