Thank god someone actually found a way to use the DOAC as a webcam without the need for any cables

I seen a number of OBS videos and that is as far as I went never clear how to get as a webcam   I simply pick my  C920 logicam up or use my laptop. the 1990's   hybrid cameras had built in drivers with usb ports used, DJI could easily did the same  they did not or do not want to offer a easy fix.   and that is  that.

Thank G my laptop has a webcam

thanks for the tip.

Mine does, but it’s a fixed into the frame and I can’t move it, even the cabled webcams have limits as to where you can place them.

That is true.
I only use them for video conferencing so I don't need more.

Then what do you think will happen with the Osmo Action as a Webcam which  the cable provided is only 1meter tops, why then would you want a OA as a Webcam.

Your Smartphone is A Webcam, with the right App is Wireless no less, will get the job done. while waiting for DJI to one day get the Driver added to the cameras software? (SMiles)

Cable ? The battery last an hour 20 why would you need a cable ?

with todays times Lol DJI can not even get a webcam driver. and want them to use a usb type c cable to run as a webcam bipassing the battery.   they need to make the driver for it, and  well not sure I have use for one Lol.

Hello there. Thank you for sharing this video with us entitled DJI Osmo Action Webcam. There is a possibility that this process will be able to work on the DJI Osmo Action. But however, since it's not yet optimized and is not yet tested by our DJI R&D. We cannot guaranteed if it will work all the time and if it will be able to run all the functions properly. Thank you for your understanding and support.

I’m just sorry that a third party had to write the app seeing as how DJI can’t be bothered to include webcam functionality.

Yes it works all the time perfectly
