Hey Windows users! Get ready for some exciting news – your smartphone is about to become a powerful webcam for your PC. Microsoft is planning to roll out a new function that will allow you to use your smartphone as a webcam, and it’s likely to be a game-changer for many users.
Microsoft Phone Link already offers the ability to operate your smartphone from your PC, letting you read and respond to messages using your keyboard. But the future looks even more promising, with plans for enhanced functionality in the connection between PC and smartphone.
According to Android Authority, you might soon be able to use your Android smartphone as a webcam on your Windows PC. An APK code analysis has revealed strong evidence of a webcam function, although no official announcement has been made yet.
The code analysis has also hinted at the possibility of applying special effects to the video and using filters to retouch your face. The smartphone’s high-quality camera eliminates the need for an additional webcam, providing a significant improvement over many built-in notebook webcams.
Already available on Apple devices with macOS 13 and an iPhone with at least iOS 16, this feature has the potential to revolutionize webcam usage for Windows users.
