Spancam
Use your phone
as a webcam.
Spancam turns your Android phone or iPhone into a sharp, reliable webcam on your Mac. Connect over USB or Wi-Fi, then pick Spancam in any video app.
Features
Your phone is the best camera you own.
USB or Wi-Fi
Plug in over USB for plug-and-play simplicity, or go wireless on your Wi-Fi. Spancam prefers the cable and switches smoothly if one drops.
Works in every app
Spancam appears as a normal camera in FaceTime, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, OBS, and your browser. Just pick it from the camera menu.
Eye-contact correction
Optional, on-device eye-contact correction keeps you looking into the lens during calls. Everything is computed on your Mac — nothing is uploaded.
Background effects
Blur or replace your background for a cleaner shot, processed entirely on your Mac's GPU.
No-install webcam
Need to share fast? Spancam can serve your phone's camera to a browser on your local Wi-Fi, protected by a private one-time link — no desktop app required.
Private by design
No accounts, no ads, no trackers, no servers. Your video stays between your own devices, over your own cable or local network. Nothing is uploaded.
