What people use it for
Set it up
- Mirror the phone. Install Ocuulo Mirror on the Windows PC, then connect — iPhone over USB or Wi‑Fi, Android over USB (no USB debugging needed) or Wi‑Fi. The screen and audio appear on the PC.
- Connect to OBS. In Ocuulo Mirror, use Connect to OBS. It hands the live mirror to OBS Studio as a virtual camera or window source.

Tips for a clean feed
Use the USB cable when you're live. It's the most stable, lowest-latency link. Keep the phone unlocked and, on Android, let Ocuulo Mirror run in the background so the phone never pauses it mid-stream — the Help centre has the exact battery setting for your brand.
Questions
Can I use my phone screen as a source in OBS without a capture card?
Yes. Ocuulo Mirror mirrors the phone to the PC over USB or Wi‑Fi in software and hands the live picture to OBS Studio as a virtual camera or window source. No capture card, HDMI adapter or dongle is needed.
Does the phone's audio come into OBS too?
Ocuulo Mirror mirrors the phone's audio to the PC in sync with the picture. In OBS you capture that audio from the PC like any other desktop audio source, so game sound or app sound from the phone is in your stream.
Is USB or Wi‑Fi better for streaming a phone in OBS?
USB. A wired link gives the most stable, lowest-latency picture, which matters most when you are live. Wi‑Fi works and frees you from the cable, but stay near the router on 5 GHz.
What quality can OBS get from the phone?
Up to 2K — up to 120FPS on Android and 60FPS on iPhone — measured on our hardware. Your stream's final quality is then set by your OBS output settings.
Which plan do I need for OBS output?
OBS handover is part of Pro (₹799 a year). The free Lite plan gives you 45 minutes of demo screen mirroring after signup, watermarked. Experience the demo before upgrading.
OBS Studio is a separate, free application. Performance figures are measured on our hardware; your results depend on your device, your PC and — for wireless — your network.
