How To Use Your Phone As A Webcam

Did you know you can use your phone as a webcam? There’s nothing impossible with technology.

Your phone can come in handy for more than chats and calls. Also, the fact that a lot of laptops don’t have clear cameras using a phone could keep you from looking blurry and crusty.

If you have an Android smartphone, then you are in luck: you can use it as a webcam on your Windows computer. All it takes is the right Android app, a Windows software client, and a few taps and clicks here and there.

You can also use a USB by creating a direct wireless connection between your Windows PC and your Android smartphone. However it would be a lot easier to use an app and Wi-FI than this option.
