According to TechRadar , Windows 11 users will soon be able to use their Android smartphones (or tablets) as webcams. This feature is currently available to Windows Insider testers and is expected to be rolled out to all users in the future.
In an official Windows Insider blog post, Microsoft announced that it has begun rolling out a feature that allows users with compatible Android devices, such as tablets or phones, to use them as webcams on their PCs for applications that require the device, such as Zoom, Teams, or Zalo.
Windows 11 will soon allow the use of Android phones as webcams.
If you want to try this new feature, you can sign up for Microsoft's free Windows Insider program. The only requirement is that you need a compatible PC that can run Windows 10 or Windows 11. Additionally, you need to ensure that the mobile device you want to use as a webcam is running Android 9.0 or later, and that the Link to Windows app is already installed on the mobile device.
This is good news for users who don't have a dedicated webcam or are dissatisfied with the quality of the built-in webcam on their laptops. Many modern smartphones come with cameras that are much higher quality than webcams, and this feature also allows for more convenient wireless connectivity.
Additionally, users can switch between the phone's front and rear cameras, pause the webcam stream, and activate available camera effects on the mobile device while using it.
