How Use Your Android Phone As A Webcam For Your Computer – SlashGear

Unlike the Continuity Camera feature found in macOS Ventura (and requiring an iPhone running iOS 16), setting your Android phone up as a webcam for your PC or Mac requires a little more effort. It’s still manageable, of course, but you will need a couple of other items aside from just your phone and computer.

1. Download and install the Reincubate Camo app for your computer operating system of choice — it’s free to use, with some limitations. Do the same for the Android app on your phone.
2. Start up the app on both your computer and your phone, then select the Wireless icon in the phone app.
3. Select the Connect a Device button in the desktop app, then when the QR code appears scan it with your phone.
4. When you see the camera feed on your Camo desktop app, the connection is made and you can start using your phone as a webcam.
5. Open the app you need to use the webcam for, then select Camo as the source camera. You can also set Camo as the microphone if you need to.

While you can use Camo for free, there are some benefits to the paid Camo Pro plan ($4.99 per month or $39.99 per year). The free version allows for 720p and lower standard-format video with a standard 30 fps, while Pro allows up to 1080p, along with other camera modes and adjustment options.
