Two halves that talk to each other: a plugin for OBS Studio, and an app on your iPhone or iPad. You need both.

Part 1

The OBS plugin#

Adds the LensLink Camera and LensLink Screen sources to OBS Studio 32+. Restart OBS afterwards.

Part 2

The iPhone / iPad app#

Captures the video and listens for OBS. iOS or iPadOS 15+. TestFlight is the route to prefer: updates arrive on their own, no computer involved.
