WFH Phone Webcam lets you use your Android phone camera as a webcam on macOS.
Stream over Wi-Fi
Video is streamed from your phone to your desktop over your local Wi-Fi network, so you are not tied down by cables.
Full HD quality
Video is streamed at a bit rate of up to 10 Mbps, and a resolution of up to 1080p (1440×1080).
Compatible with everything
The desktop app creates a virtual webcam, which can be used by any of your favorite recording or video conferencing apps, just like a real webcam.
Hardware accelerated
Video encoding and decoding are done with hardware acceleration, saving your battery.
Not a subscription
No subscription, no in-app payments, no ads, no data collection. None of that.

System extensions are Apple's modern alternative to kernel extensions or drivers.
Extend the capabilities of macOS by installing and managing system extensions—drivers and other low-level code—in user space rather than in the kernel. By running in user space, system extensions can’t compromise the security or stability of macOS.
Core Media I/O extensions are a type of system extension that provide custom camera devices, like a virtual webcam:
Use the Core Media I/O framework to enable support for custom camera devices in macOS. Starting in macOS 12.3, the framework builds on System Extensions to enable you to support custom devices while maintaining system privacy and security protections.
