Iriun 4K Webcam for PC and Mac

Turn your phone camera into a sharp 4K wireless webcam

Iriun 4K Webcam for PC and Mac transforms your everyday handset into a surprisingly capable webcam, delivering a flexible solution for video calls, live streaming, and content creation. Instead of investing in a dedicated camera, you can tap into the high-quality sensor you already carry around.

Once configured with the companion server on your computer, Iriun automatically links your phone and desktop over WiFi or USB. The connection is generally quick and stable, and most popular conferencing and broadcasting tools—such as Zoom, Teams, and OBS—detect it as a regular webcam source. Latency is low enough for meetings and casual streaming, and the app’s ability to work even with the screen off is a welcome battery saver.

Video quality is a standout point. Iriun supports resolutions up to 4K, so if your phone camera is strong, your picture will look markedly cleaner than with many budget webcams. Handy extras like pinch-to-zoom and mirroring help you fine-tune framing without needing to move your device around.

The free version is fully usable but includes a watermark on the image, which may bother streamers or professional users. Upgrading to the Pro version removes this limitation and unlocks manual controls for ISO, exposure, and white balance, plus remote adjustments from the desktop—great for fine-tuning your look without touching the phone.

There are a few caveats: true 4K performance depends on your handset and network, and prolonged use can warm up your device. Still, for most users seeking an affordable, versatile webcam solution, Iriun 4K Webcam offers an impressive mix of quality, convenience, and advanced controls.
