Set it up

  1. Run the installer

    If SmartScreen warns, choose More info, then Run anyway: the installer isn't code-signed yet.

  2. Install OBS Studio and VB-Cable once

    OBS Studio provides the virtual camera driver and VB-Cable the virtual microphone. You don't need to open either.

  3. Connect your phone

    Open Camlane on the phone, tap this computer and type the PIN. In your video app, choose OBS Virtual Camera and CABLE Output.
