- Microsoft has introduced a way to repurpose Android smartphones into high-quality webcams for Windows 11 PCs. - This feature is currently only available to users in the Windows Insider Program using Windows 11 insider builds. - Requirements to use an Android phone as a webcam on Windows 11 include being part of specific Windows Insider Program channels, having the Link to Windows app installed on both devices, and using an Android phone operating on Android 9.0 or higher. - To configure Windows 11 to use an Android phone as a webcam, users need to pair the devices via the Phone Link app and follow specific steps in the Settings app on the PC. - Once set up, users can use their Android phone as a webcam across all applications on Windows 11 and access camera controls and effects. - While similar to Apple's Continuity Camera feature, using an Android phone with Windows 11 does not allow for the use of the phone's microphone for audio input, but it does allow for multitasking on the phone while using it as a webcam.
