<details open>
<summary>What is Iriun Webcam and how does it work?</summary>
<p class="muted">Iriun turns your phone into a webcam for Windows. Install the Windows client and the Iriun app on your phone, then connect via USB or the same Wi‑Fi network. Select <em>Iriun Webcam</em> as the camera in your video app.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Is Iriun safe? How is my video handled?</summary>
<p class="muted">Iriun streams video locally between your phone and PC. For maximum privacy and the lowest latency, use USB. Always download from the official installer link on this site.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Which Windows versions are supported?</summary>
<p class="muted">Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64‑bit). Older versions may work but are not recommended here.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Does Iriun work with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and OBS?</summary>
<p class="muted">Yes. After installation, choose <em>Iriun Webcam</em> as your camera in Zoom, Teams and Meet. In OBS, add it as a Video Capture Device.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Can I use 1080p or 4K?</summary>
<p class="muted">Start with 720p/30fps for stability. If your connection (USB or strong 5GHz Wi‑Fi) is solid, increase to 1080p. 4K may work on some phones, but most calls cap resolution.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Does Iriun include audio?</summary>
<p class="muted">Iriun focuses on video only. Select your PC mic, a USB mic or a dedicated phone mic app for audio.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>USB vs Wi‑Fi — which should I use?</summary>
<p class="muted">USB offers the best latency and stability for streaming and long calls. Wi‑Fi is convenient for quick calls near your router on 5GHz.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>The camera isn’t detected / I see a black screen</summary>
<p class="muted">Open the phone app first, then the Windows app, then your video app. Check Windows camera permissions. On Wi‑Fi, ensure both devices are on the same SSID and use 5GHz if possible. Try a USB cable for stability or see <a href="troubleshooting.html">Troubleshooting</a>.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>How do I uninstall and clean reinstall Iriun?</summary>
<p class="muted">Uninstall Iriun, remove the virtual camera device in Device Manager, reboot, then install fresh. Follow the detailed steps in <a href="uninstall-reinstall.html">Uninstall & Clean Reinstall</a>.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>How do I update to the latest version?</summary>
<p class="muted">Download the latest Windows installer and run it over your current setup. If you encounter issues, perform a clean reinstall.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Can I switch front/rear camera and use the flash?</summary>
<p class="muted">Yes. Use the Iriun phone app to switch cameras and control the torch/flash if supported.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Do I need firewall changes?</summary>
<p class="muted">For Wi‑Fi, allow Iriun through Windows Defender Firewall on private networks if prompted. USB does not depend on the network and provides the best privacy.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Is this site official?</summary>
<p class="muted">This is an independent resource that provides guides and a direct link to the official Windows installer. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Iriun.</p>
