Terms & licenses
Using WayCam
WayCam is provided by Waybound. It connects an Android phone to a computer as a local webcam. Use it only with devices and networks you are authorized to access, and respect the privacy and consent of anyone whose image you capture.
Compatibility and downloads
The Android app supports Android 8 and later. The Windows virtual webcam requires Windows 11; Windows 10 supports the receiver preview. Available resolution and frame rate depend on your phone, computer and connection. The desktop companion is required. macOS support is still undergoing validation and is not offered as a production download here.
Google Play downloads are subject to Google’s applicable terms. Direct APK downloads require your permission to install from that source and manual updates. Installation over an existing copy requires compatible application signing; switching between Play and direct releases may require reinstalling and clearing local settings.
Local network security
The current stream and pairing exchange are unencrypted at the application layer. Keep your pairing code private and use a trusted local network or USB tethering. WayCam is not a remote surveillance or cloud recording service.
