Are you tired of using your low resolution and pixelated integrated laptop’s webcam during Zoom calls? If that’s the case, then you’re at the right place. This post will show you how to use your Android phone as a webcam on Windows 10/11 PC.
Meanwhile, webcam prices are going up because more people want them, so it might not make sense for you to spend money on a new one. Especially if you only need a webcam sometimes, buying a separate one could be a waste of money.
But don’t worry, if you don’t want to spend money on a webcam, you can still use your Android phone as one for your computer. Yup, with just an app, you can turn your phone into a webcam for free.
You can connect wirelessly or with a USB cable, and each way has its own good and bad points.
In the meantime, we have tested many webcam apps, but Iriun Webcam is the best. Before moving forward, we must have some information about this software, which is available for both PC and Android devices.

Personally, I got the best results when I linked my PC and phone using a hotspot instead of my regular Wi-Fi. But if you want a really solid connection, using a USB cable should do the trick.
