When I first started live streaming, I often wondered—how can I make my Android phone act like a professional HDMI camera? Imagine using your phone just like a DSLR, but connected directly to your computer for smooth streaming in OBS. Sounds great, right?
But here’s the thing—not every camera app works. For example, I often use Samsung’s built-in camera app. It’s handy, but the screen shows circles, focus icons, and other overlays. Those are not what we call “clean HDMI.”
the internal camera app will show the icon & some camera information.
So, what is clean HDMI? It’s when your video feed is completely free of icons, menus, or distracting overlays—just pure video, exactly what your eyes see, ready to stream.
In today’s little tutorial, I’m going to share two apps that can help you get that perfect clean HDMI output from your Android phone. With these, you can plug your phone into a capture card, open OBS, and stream with crisp, clutter-free video—no expensive DSLR needed.

Whether you’re hosting a webinar, doing a product demo, or just chatting live with your audience, this trick will make your streams look much more professional. And the best part? You’re doing it all with the phone that’s already in your pocket.
So, let’s dive in and get your Android looking like a pro camera!
Transform Your Old Smartphone into a Vertical Digital Signage Display
In today’s fast-paced retail and hospitality industries, attention-grabbing visuals are essential. What if you could repurpose an old iPhone—or even an Android phone—into a sleek, vertical digital signage system? With the right tools, you can do exactly that, breathing new life into unused devices while saving on costly hardware.
iPhone Vertical Mirror to TV
Vertical displays are becoming increasingly popular for advertisements and information boards. By rotating your TV 90 degrees, you can mimic the look of professional signage systems. The challenge? Getting your iPhone content to fill the entire screen without black borders.
How to Let iPhone Mirror to TV
Apple’s Lightning-to-AV adapter can mirror your iPhone’s display to a TV. However, when used in vertical orientation, you’ll encounter large black bars on the sides. This is because Apple’s mirroring system maintains a fixed aspect ratio, even when the TV is rotated, making it unsuitable for true full-screen vertical signage.
FEBON Smartphone Vertical Mode Mirror Adapter
The FEBON smartphone vertical mirror adapter solves this problem by enabling true full-screen vertical mirroring.
Works with both iOS and Android devices
Maintains edge-to-edge visuals in vertical orientation
Simple plug-and-play setup without additional apps
Full-screen vertical mirroring opens up a range of possibilities:
Menu boards in cafes and restaurants
Event schedules in hotels or conference venues
Product promotions in retail spaces
Information displays in reception areas
iPhone & iPad Monitor Ratio Issues
iPhones and iPads have different native aspect ratios compared to most TVs. This mismatch often leads to scaling problems when using standard adapters. The FEBON solution ensures the image is properly adjusted for vertical display without distortion or unused screen space.

iPhone 15 (19.5:9): There will be small black bars on the sides.
iPad Pro (4:3): Black bars will be added to the top and bottom of the TV screen.
Android Phone Vertical Mirroring
The adapter also supports Android devices, allowing them to mirror in vertical orientation without cropping or black borders. This makes it a flexible option for mixed-device environments.
iPhone Wirelessly Vertical Mirroring
For setups where cables are inconvenient, wireless vertical mirroring is possible. This offers more flexibility in positioning the phone and display, making it ideal for public areas or temporary installations.
Android Wirelessly Vertical Mirroring
Android users can also benefit from wireless vertical mirroring, achieving the same full-screen vertical display without the need for physical connections.
Your older smartphone can still play an important role in your business. With the FEBON smartphone vertical mirror adapter, you can:
Convert any TV into a professional vertical signage display
Use both wired and wireless connections
Support both iOS and Android devices
Avoid expensive signage systems while still delivering a professional appearance
