How to Use Your Android Phone as Webcam for FREE!

Many of us make video calls, online classes, or YouTube videos using computer or laptop webcams. Many times you may have to use a webcam for emergency work. But not everyone has a webcam.

If you have an Android phone, you can avoid the cost of buying a separate webcam. Does it sound strange? Today I will show you how you can use your Android phone as a computer webcam.

In this process, the video streaming on the mobile camera will go to a specific port of the computer. Computer software will show it as a webcam video. It may seem a little difficult to hear. But it's a lot easier than playing PUBG.

Here we will discuss two ways to use mobile as a webcam. I hope there won't be any problem to understand.
