Want to hook up a second webcam for multi-cam streaming? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kinoni.com\">EpocCam from Kinoni<\/a> lets you connect your phone to your computer as a second video input!<\/p>\n<p>It works either wirelessly over WiFi or with a direct USB cable connection for lower latency.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve only played with the iPhone version, but there looks to be an Android version as well, and they should both work with either Mac or PC computers. It&#8217;s slightly fiddly to set up, but I got it working:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Install the EpocCam app on your phone.<\/li>\n<li>Install the driver from Kinoni&#8217;s website on your computer.<\/li>\n<li>Reboot.<\/li>\n<li>Launch the EpocCam app on your phone. It&#8217;ll show a &#8220;connecting&#8221; screen.<\/li>\n<li>Launch whatever app you want to use the video input.<\/li>\n<li>Go into the video settings and choose EpocCam as a source.<\/li>\n<li>Magic!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There&#8217;s a non-zero probability that I may be using this setup as part of my weekly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/djwudi\">DJ livestreaming on Twitch<\/a> on Saturday mornings.
