Are you tired of appearing as a pixelated blob on your Zoom Call? It is quite easy now to use your smartphone as a camera, and some alternatives don't even require you to connect to anything. Let's see how.

Making a video call using only your phone

The logical thing to try before transforming your smartphone into a camera for your PC is to use your smartphone to host a video meeting. Services such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet often offer Android and iPhone applications. To join the meeting, simply install the app, log in, and utilize your phone's selfie camera and microphone.

Methods for using your phone as a webcam

If you only need to join in on a meeting and chime in now and then, you can use videoconferencing software on your phone, but if you're presenting and need to share your screen, you'll need a better method. This is when converting your smartphone into a camera might come in handy.
