Your phone almost certainly has a far better camera than your laptop's built-in webcam. Spancam puts that camera to work for video calls, streaming, and recording.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Install the free Spancam desktop app on your computer.
2. Open Spancam on your phone and connect over USB or Wi-Fi.
3. Pick "Spancam" as the camera in Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime, OBS, or your browser. That's it.

WIRED OR WIRELESS
• USB: plug in and go. No developer mode, no ADB, no special setup — Spancam uses the standard Android USB accessory connection, so it just works.
• Wi-Fi: leave the cable behind. Your phone is discovered automatically on your network.
• Spancam prefers the wired connection when both are available and switches smoothly if one drops.

BUILT FOR REAL CALLS
• Smooth, low-latency hardware-encoded video.
• Front or rear camera, with a clean on-phone viewfinder.
• Pro controls: zoom, exposure, focus, white balance and more.
• A streaming indicator stays visible while the camera is in use.

NO-INSTALL WEBCAM (OPTIONAL)
Need to share quickly? Spancam can also serve your camera over your local Wi-Fi so you can open it in a browser on another device — protected by a private access link.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Spancam has no accounts, no ads, and no trackers. Your video goes only to your own devices, over your own cable or local network — never to us, never to anyone else. Nothing is uploaded.

REQUIREMENTS
• Android 8.0 or newer.
• The free Spancam desktop app (macOS available; Windows and Linux on the way). ## Rankings - #2,566,154 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.adewaskar.spancam.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` ## Similar extensions and apps - [PhoneCam](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.zrxt.mobileapp) — 692 users - [StreamPhoneCam: OBS Webcam 4k](https://chrome-stats.com/d/cl.villagranquiroz.streamphonecam) — 230 users - [ViewCam: Your phone, your cam](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sleak.vcam) — 137 users - [Phone Webcam](https://chrome-stats.com/d/phone.webcam.phonewebcam) — 425 users - [WifiCam](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.nicxonsolutions.wifi_cam) — 77 users - [CamVLink - Webcam](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jjuanes.camvlink) — 100 users - [SmartCam](https://chrome-stats.com/d/it.dario.smartcam) — 11 users - [Usb Web Camera](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.codingmstr.usbwebcamera) — 2,661 users - [CamConnect - WiFi Webcam & Mic](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ttstu.camconnect) — 5,224 users - [DroidCam Webcam & OBS Camera](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dev47apps.obsdroidcam) — 6,394,252 users, 4.01 / 5 - [WebCam: Instant Wi-Fi Camera](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.stream.webcam) — 3,075 users - [Wireless Webcam Stream Camera](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wireless.webcam.free) — 145 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.adewaskar.spancam)
