Using my phone as a webcam (help!)

I’m trying to use my iOS phone as a webcam for Zoom, but man, this is driving me absolutely insane.
I went ahead and downloaded two different setups to try this out: “Webcamoid” and “Wowebcam” on my phone, plus their matching desktop clients on my computer.
So, I fire up “Webcamoid” on my phone and the client on my PC (type in the ID...), hit connect, and boom—nothing. Just gets hit with an "Invalid App version! You need to update Webcamoid on your phone" error message.
What gives? I literally just grabbed the latest version straight from https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...7apps.droidcam

Then, when I try switching gears and using “Wowebcam” on the phone with its client on the computer, I just get stuck on “Error: Fail to connect to server.“
Does anyone actually know what the deal is here, or better yet, can someone point me toward an app that actually works without the headache?

How did you try connecting your phone to your computer? Was it wired—like via USB—or wireless, maybe using WiFi or Bluetooth?

Wireless via Wi-Fi
My phone is showing me this info: Wifi IP: 192.169.1.25 Webcamoid port:4747.
I punched those details straight into the Webcamoid client on my PC, but once I hit connect, it just spits back Invalid App version! You need to update DroidCam on your phone
So, how do I actually run an update?

Did you make sure to open the port the app uses (4747) on both your router and the macOS firewall?

Regarding the version—the desktop version for macOS seems to be some generic 6.X.X build, while the App Store lists it as 6.1, so I don't really think that's the issue here. I'm not an app developer, so I can't say for certain if this error message might pop up for other reasons too, I guess.

Ugh, nope.
Just opened them up, but no luck—it keeps nagging me to update the app on my iPhone.
I have zero clue why it keeps bugging me like this when I literally just downloaded the latest version.
