LumaLink: Phone to PC Webcam

Web Dev NC

About this app

Send your Android phone's camera to your computer with LumaLink.

Install the companion LumaLink Receiver desktop app on your computer, then pair your phone over USB or local Wi-Fi. You need the desktop receiver to use this phone app.

Camera controls

• Use your phone's front or rear camera.
• Choose from supported 720p and 1080p quality options.
• Pair over Wi-Fi by scanning the receiver's QR code or entering its pairing code.
• Connect an authorized Android phone over USB with USB debugging enabled.
• Adjust orientation, mirror, and framing from the receiver.
• Enable microphone capture when you want to send audio with video.

Computer compatibility

The desktop receiver shows your phone's video in its own window. On a supported macOS setup, install the LumaLink Camera extension and select LumaLink Camera in a compatible video app. Linux virtual-camera output requires host setup. Windows currently supports the receiver preview; it does not provide a camera device for meeting apps.

Camera quality and frame rate depend on your phone and connection. Audio received over Wi-Fi is not a system microphone for other computer apps. USB microphone output requires separate macOS setup.

Permissions and privacy

Allow camera access to stream video. Microphone access is needed when you enable audio streaming. Network access connects your phone with the paired computer.

LumaLink does not require an account. Camera and microphone media travel to your paired computer over the local connection; LumaLink does not upload that media to a cloud relay.
