Connect via **USB** (fastest) or **WiFi** (no cables), and use your phone camera in Discord, Zoom, OBS, Teams, and any app that supports a webcam.\n\n### Virtual Camera Driver\n\nCarrotCam installs a **virtual camera driver** on your PC, so your phone shows up as a real webcam device. Apps see it just like any other camera — no special integration needed.\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n| Feature | Description |\n|---|---|\n| **USB \u0026 WiFi** | Connect via USB for zero-latency, or WiFi for wireless freedom |\n| **Virtual Camera** | Use your phone camera in any app (Discord, Zoom, OBS, Teams, browsers) |\n| **Front \u0026 Back Camera** | Switch between cameras from your PC |\n| **Mirror \u0026 Rotate** | Flip or rotate the video feed on the fly |\n| **Zoom** | Digital zoom with smooth slider control |\n| **Grid Overlay** | Rule-of-thirds or custom grid for framing |\n| **MP4 Recording** | Record the stream directly to disk |\n| **Screenshots** | Capture still frames with one click |\n| **Video Adjustments** | Brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and more |\n| **Auto-Update** | Desktop app checks for updates automatically |\n| **Battery Monitoring** | See your phone's battery level on the PC |\n| **Discord Rich Presence** | Shows your streaming status on Discord |\n| **Minimal Mobile UI** | Clean, lightweight app that stays out of the way |\n\n---\n\n## Download\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"download\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n### Windows Desktop App\n\nDownload the latest `CarrotCam-win64.zip` from the [Releases page](https://github.com/DG-925/CarrotCam/releases/latest).\n\n1. Extract the zip to any folder\n2. Run `CarrotCam.exe`\n3. Install the virtual camera driver from the sidebar (one-time, requires admin)\n\n### Android App\n\nDownload the latest `CarrotCam.apk` from the [Releases page](https://github.com/DG-925/CarrotCam/releases/latest).\n\n\u003e You'll need to enable \"Install from unknown sources\" for your file manager or browser when installing.\n\n---\n\n## Getting Started\n\n1. **Install** the desktop app on your PC and the APK on your phone\n2. **Open** CarrotCam on both devices (they must be on the same WiFi network for wireless)\n3. **Select** USB or WiFi on the desktop app\n4. **Connect** — your phone camera will appear as a webcam on your PC\n5. **Use it** — open Discord, Zoom, OBS, or any video app and select \"CarrotCam\" as your camera\n\n### USB Setup\n\nUSB mode requires [ADB (Android Debug Bridge)](https://developer.android.com/tools/adb). CarrotCam bundles ADB — just enable **USB Debugging** on your phone and connect via USB cable.\n\n### WiFi Setup\n\nWiFi mode works automatically — both devices just need to be on the same network. The desktop app will discover your phone automatically.\n\n---\n\n## System Requirements\n\n| Platform | Minimum |\n|---|---|\n| **Windows** | Windows 10 (64-bit), Qt 6.5+ compatible |\n| **Android** | Android 9 (Pie) or later |\n\n---\n\n## Auto-Updates\n\nCarrotCam checks for updates on startup. When a new version is available, a green button appears in the sidebar. Click to download and install — the app restarts automatically.\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nSource code is private. Binaries are distributed via GitHub Releases.\n\n---\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n\n**Made with 🥕 by DG-925**\n\n\u003c/div\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdg-925%2Fcarrotcam","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdg-925%2Fcarrotcam","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdg-925%2Fcarrotcam/lists"}
