Do you want to use your Android phone as a webcam instead of your laptop’s low-quality one? Microsoft has a solution for you.
Microsoft has announced that they will be allowing you to use your Android phone or tablet in any video application on your Windows 11 PC.
The software giant announced that its new feature would allow users to toggle between front and back cameras, pause the stream when needed, and apply various effects supported by their mobile devices.
Before you get too excited and ditch your webcam forever, take note that this feature is only available to Windows Insider users.
Windows Insider is a program that allows users to sign up for free and test new features before they are available to the general public.
To use this feature, your Android device must be running Android 9.0+ and that your version of the Link to Windows phone application is 1.24012 or greater.
To enable this feature, you need to go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Mobile devices and choose “Manage devices” and allow your PC to access your Android phone.
After that, you need to update the Cross Device Experience Host app from the Microsoft Store on your PC.
