Using an Android phone as a webcam?

[Box Brownie]

Hi all

I am looking into using the above and so far have come across two apps

Droidcam and Livedroid

Has anyone done the same and if so how easy to setup and use for the likes of a Zoom meeting?

TIA

Why not just download the Zoom app onto the phone and use that for the meeting ... job done

I use droidcam to give me a second camera to my main webcam. I use it held on a boom arm so that I can present live sketching or as a mobile camera to show product samples etc.

In zoom or teams etc once you have launched the app it just shows up in your list of available cameras.

Nothing to lose in trying the free version, but the paid app to get the full controls is worth it.

The app on my phone is very good but the screen is way too small with what maybe about a dozen participants, that is why I was looking into using the PC for the screen 'usage' but cannot Zooom via the website as the PC has no camera or microphone!

Thanks for the insight and it is welcome to know it "works" OK

I will re-review what I have learned so far of both systems that I referenced in my OP and see what I can do
