What camera options are available for an emulated phone in Genymotion?
Does Genymotion Desktop support webcams (UVC) and how to set up a webcam for an Android virtual device; OBS virtual camera compatibility
❌ NO. Genymotion Desktop does not support OBS Virtual Camera because OBS Studio’s video format is incompatible with the Genymotion camera API. ✅ USE A PHYSICAL UVC WEBCAM or use Genymotion SaaS with your browser to accept OBS Virtual Camera as a site camera.
Details and steps:
- Genymotion Desktop: virtual/loop cameras (including OBS VirtualCam) are not recommended or supported; only UVC-compliant physical webcams are expected to work. See the UVC requirement and reference list here: My webcam does not work with Genymotion Desktop.
- Why OBS VirtualCam fails with Desktop: Genymotion’s camera API is incompatible with OBS Studio video format — OBS Virtual Camera cannot be used with Genymotion Desktop. Source: Can I use OBS virtual camera with Genymotion Desktop?.
- Workaround (if you can use SaaS): run OBS Virtual Camera, open Chrome, choose OBS Virtual Camera under Site settings > Camera, then use the Genymotion SaaS Camera widget so the emulated phone sees the OBS feed. Instructions: Can I use OBS Studio Virtual Camera with Genymotion SaaS?.
- Practical recommendation: buy any UVC-compliant webcam (check http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/), plug it in, then select it in the Genymotion Desktop camera settings to provide camera input to the virtual device.
