Summary
- If you’ve got an old Android phone that you no longer use, it can make for a great webcam for your PC or laptop.
- With the Mobile Devices feature in Windows 11, you can easily connect your Android phone to your PC and use it as a high-quality webcam.
- You can also use native options such as plugging your phone into your PC with a USB cable, and selecting the Webcam option, or using a third party app such as DroidCam or IP Webcam.
- These apps allow you to quickly and easily transform your Android phone into a webcam, and even switch between the phone’s front and rear camera feeds.
- All of these methods offer higher-quality video than most built-in webcams, and are simple and cost-effective solutions.
- This makes it a great option for those looking to improve their video quality while gaming, streaming, or video conferencing.
- Additionally, if you aren’t already using your old Android phone as a webcam, you can also use it as a second monitor.
