Screenshots

EpocCam turns an iPhone or iPad into a wireless or USB webcam for Windows 10 and 11. It suits anyone stuck with a weak laptop camera on Zoom, Teams, OBS or Discord.

The free tier stops at 640×480 with a watermark, and Pro (a one-time $7.99 unlock) removes both limits.

The catch: Elgato no longer sells or updates EpocCam, so it works the way it does today and will not change. If you already own an iPhone and want a quick webcam upgrade, it is still worth the install.

Is EpocCam Worth Downloading?

EpocCam turns an iPhone or iPad into a wireless or USB webcam for Windows, and the file on this page is Elgato Camera Hub 2.0, the Windows app that connects the two.

It suits anyone whose laptop camera makes calls on Zoom, Teams or OBS look worse than they should.

The free version is capped at 640×480 with a watermark, and Pro removes both limits.

Elgato has ended updates and sales, so EpocCam keeps working as it does today with no promise about tomorrow. If you already own an iPhone and want a quick camera upgrade, it is still worth the install.

Version note: this page hosts Camera Hub 2.0.0.5721, an older build. Elgato has released Camera Hub 2.1 and 2.2 since, and its own EpocCam troubleshooting advice is to use the latest Camera Hub from elgato.com/downloads. Choose this build if you specifically need version 2.0, for example to roll back after an update caused problems.

EpocCam Review: Quality, Features and Limits

What is EpocCam?

EpocCam is a phone-as-webcam tool with two parts: an app on your iPhone or iPad that sends the camera feed, and software on your PC that presents the feed to Windows as an ordinary webcam.

It began at Kinoni, which Corsair acquired in October 2020 and folded into Elgato, so older guides still mention Kinoni drivers.

Because Windows sees a normal camera, EpocCam works in video calls, recording tools and streaming software without plugins.

EpocCam video quality: free vs Pro

The free app is limited to 640×480 at 30 fps and adds a watermark. EpocCam Pro supports 1080p, 720p and 480p, all at up to 60 fps.

Even a mid-range phone sensor usually beats a laptop webcam, which is why most people end up wanting Pro.

EpocCam Pro features

Pro also adds manual focus and background replacement on iPhones with a TrueDepth camera. The phone microphone is a separate story: Camera Hub carries video only, and the audio section below explains the workaround.

Wi-Fi, USB and NDI connection modes

EpocCam connects over Wi-Fi, USB or NDI, and the supported resolutions are the same in every mode.

The video bitrate goes up to 13 Mbps over Wi-Fi and up to 84 Mbps over USB, so USB is the safer choice for long streams or a busy router. Wi-Fi saves you a cable, but its quality depends on your network.

Camera Hub 2.0 controls and what changed

Once Camera Hub detects your phone, you can choose the camera, bitrate, zoom and picture settings, and apply Snap Lenses.

Camera Hub 2.0 arrived on April 8, 2025 with LUT color grading, Voice Sync in more languages and one-click backgrounds from a Marketplace.

Those additions were built around Elgato’s own cameras, so test them before counting on them for an EpocCam feed.

The release also fixed the virtual camera freezing when you switch tabs, trimmed memory use and raised the minimum Windows version to Windows 11.

EpocCam microphone and audio on Windows

The Camera Hub integration does not carry audio. Elgato says that to use your phone as a microphone you need the older standalone EpocCam driver, with Camera Hub closed while you use it.

Installing or updating Camera Hub afterward can remove that driver, so expect to reinstall it. If you only need video, ignore this and use Camera Hub on its own.

Does EpocCam work with Android?

Elgato’s documentation covers iPhone and iPad only. An EpocCam app for Android does exist on Google Play (version 2.0.8, last updated in 2020), but it was built for the old standalone Kinoni driver, and nothing in Elgato’s current guides says it pairs with Camera Hub 2.0.

Android users who want a supported route are better served by a maintained alternative such as iVCam or Iriun Webcam, which list Android as a supported platform.

EpocCam not working on Windows: fixes

Most problems come from a short list of causes.

• If EpocCam does not show up as a camera, confirm Camera Hub is installed, restart your video apps, then restart the PC.
• If Wi-Fi will not connect, open Services in Windows and check that Bonjour Service is running with a startup type of Automatic or Automatic (Delayed Start), then restart Camera Hub.
• If USB will not connect, install Apple Devices from the Microsoft Store, restart the PC and try a different USB port.
• If the video flickers or freezes, remove older EpocCam or Kinoni drivers, since Elgato ties flickering to older driver versions.

Is EpocCam still worth using in 2026?

It depends on how you arrive. If you already own Pro, EpocCam remains a simple setup that does one job.

If you are starting fresh, the end of updates and new sales makes an actively developed alternative easier to recommend. Elgato itself warns that functionality may diminish over time.

How to Download & Install

Click the download button at the top of this page to get CameraHub_2.0.0.5721_x64.msi (330.42 MB). Since EpocCam 2022.2, Elgato Camera Hub is the Windows side of EpocCam, so you no longer need the old standalone driver for video. The whole setup takes about five minutes.

EpocCam installer type

There is one installer: a 64-bit (x64) offline MSI. No portable build exists, and there is no separate online installer.

EpocCam system requirements for Windows

• Windows 11, 64-bit. Camera Hub 2.0 raised the minimum to Windows 11, and Elgato says it should still run on Windows 10 without guaranteeing full functionality.
• An iPhone or iPad with the EpocCam app installed. Elgato lists iOS or iPadOS 13 or later as the minimum.
• Your phone and PC on the same Wi-Fi network, or a USB cable.
• For USB mode, the Apple Devices app from the Microsoft Store.

License and activation

Camera Hub is free to download and use. The EpocCam phone app has a free version (640×480, watermark) and EpocCam Pro, a one-time App Store purchase that was priced at $7.99. Elgato no longer sells EpocCam to new buyers. If you bought Pro earlier, sign in to the App Store with the same Apple ID and download the app again from your purchase history. There is no license key to enter, because Pro is tied to your Apple ID.

Step 1: Open the installer and click Next

Double-click the downloaded .msi file. If an old standalone EpocCam or Kinoni driver is installed, remove it first, because Elgato’s release notes flag conflicts with older Kinoni drivers.

Step 2: Accept the license agreement

Accept the license agreement and click Next.

Step 3: Choose the destination folder

Keep the default folder unless you have a reason to change it, then click Next.

Step 4: Click Install

Approve the Windows permission prompt if it appears, then wait for the installation to finish.

Step 5: Click Finish

Close the setup wizard. Restart Zoom, Teams or OBS so they can see the new camera, and restart Windows if EpocCam still does not show up.

Connect your phone to Windows over Wi-Fi

1. Install EpocCam on your iPhone or iPad and open it.
2. Open Camera Hub on your PC.
3. Keep both devices on the same Wi-Fi network.
4. When Camera Hub detects EpocCam, choose the camera, bitrate, zoom and picture settings.
5. In your video app, pick EpocCam as the camera.

Connect your phone to Windows over USB

1. Install Apple Devices from the Microsoft Store and restart the PC.
2. Plug in your iPhone or iPad and tap Trust if the phone asks.
3. Open EpocCam on the phone, then open Camera Hub on the PC.
4. If the connection fails, try a different USB port.

How to update EpocCam

EpocCam itself will not get new releases. Camera Hub updates separately: right-click its icon in the Windows system tray and use the check for updates option, or download the newest installer from Elgato. The phone app updates through the App Store.

Pros & Cons

Conclusion

4.7★★★★★out of 5 · 14 user ratings

EpocCam is a finished tool that still does its job: pair an iPhone, install Camera Hub, pick EpocCam as the camera and the picture is better than most laptop webcams give you.

The free tier is closer to a trial, and the lack of future updates is the real cost. Pick it if you already own Pro or need a quick fix today.

Choose a maintained alternative if you want new features, Android support or long-term peace of mind. More options are in our virtual webcam apps category.
