Camcastar is a free browser-based tool that turns your iPhone or Android phone into a wireless webcam for your laptop. No app download, no account, no cables. Open the site on your laptop, scan the QR code with your phone, and your phone camera streams live to your laptop screen in seconds.
All camera controls are on your laptop. Switch between front and rear camera, adjust zoom from 1x to 10x, change focus, toggle the flashlight, set resolution up to 4K, and change frame rate to 24, 30, or 60 FPS, all without touching your phone.
Camcastar uses WebRTC, a peer-to-peer technology built into every modern browser. Your phone and laptop connect directly over your local Wi-Fi network. The video never passes through any server. It is completely private and stays between your devices.
Setup takes under 60 seconds. Open camcastar.com on your laptop browser, scan the QR code that appears with your phone camera, allow camera access on your phone, and the live feed starts immediately. No installation, no drivers, no account required.
