Why ByteMirror

Built around a few things done well.

  • No capture card

    Connect iPhone over USB or AirPlay and Android over Wi-Fi or USB debugging. Each phone appears as a ByteMirror Phone source inside OBS.

  • Screen or camera

    Mirror the phone screen for mobile game streams, or use the rear camera as a sharp webcam in Zoom, Teams and OBS.

  • 1080p at 60 fps

    H.264 and H.265 with hardware decoding on your GPU. Game audio flows straight into the OBS audio mixer.

  • Stays on your network

    Video never leaves your local network. If a cable slips or Wi-Fi drops, ByteMirror reconnects on its own.
