And that without calling in twice. Laptop cameras as normally very crap. They say “1080p”, but most of the time they are 720p or less and have maybe 2 megapixels or less. Phones have way more and can be connected to the laptop via USB. There must be a way to use their camera over USB, right?

I know of USB over LAN, so surely this is possible.


Thanks to everybody. In the end I went with Scrcpy.

    On Windows + Android combo, if your OS has not yet implemented the native USB camera feature, you could also use Phone Link, which is included on all Windows systems. That one works without a cable as well.
