Questions

Is Camora free to use with Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Camora is free, with no ads, no watermark and no account: up to 1080p, and 60 fps if your phone supports it.

Does Microsoft Teams need a plugin for Camora?

No. Camora adds a camera called “Camora” to your computer, and Microsoft Teams lists it like any webcam.

USB or Wi-Fi?

USB has the lowest delay (about 150 ms from camera to screen on Windows) and charges the phone while it streams. Wi-Fi needs no cable: pair once with a 6-digit code and it reconnects by itself.

Does it work with an iPhone or a Mac?

Not yet. Camora needs an Android phone (8.0 or newer) and a Windows 11 or Ubuntu computer.

Turn your phone into your webcam

Camora is free: install it on your Android phone and on your Windows 11 or Ubuntu computer, and you're live in a few minutes.
