The OBSBOT Tail Air can function as a high-quality streaming camera due to its multiple connection interfaces. Its impressive video performance and advanced AI features also make it a great webcam.

In this detailed tutorial, we'll guide you step-by-step on how to use your OBSBOT Tail Air as a webcam.

Understanding UVC Mode

Before we get started, it's crucial to understand what UVC mode is. UVC stands for USB Video Class, a standard that enables video cameras to be recognized by a computer as a webcam. When your OBSBOT Tail Air is in UVC mode, it works just like a regular webcam on your computer, but with the added benefit of the high-quality camera on the OBSBOT.

Preparation

Before we begin, ensure you have the following items ready:

• OBSBOT Tail Air
• USB-C cable
• Computer with OBSBOT Center installed
• Phone/tablet with Obsbot Start installed (Optional)

Activate UVC Mode for Tail Air

Step 1: Connect your Tail Air to your phone or computer (either wirelessly or with a wired connection).

Step 2: In the OBSBOT Center software, locate the "Output" column in the "More" settings.

Alternatively, you can find it in your Obsbot Start.

Step 3: Turn on the UVC Mode button.
