Poor quality images on zooms seem to be becoming a thing of the past.
As part of the Windows 11 update, Microsoft is rolling out a built-in Phone Link feature that will allow you to stream live video to your Android phone's screen or vice versa (which will be especially useful for users who are not happy with the quality of their own webcam – in fact, the phone's camera will be able to perform its function).
Apple already offers similar technology for Mac and iPhone called Continuity Camera.
How to set up an Android phone for webcam functionality via Phone Link:
Initially, make sure your phone is running Android 9 (Android Pie) or higher and that the Link to Windows app on your phone is updated to version 1.24012 or higher. Next, connect your Android phone to your PC using the Phone Link and Link to Windows apps: Open the Settings app on your computer, go to Bluetooth & Devices and Mobile Devices, and then click Manage Devices to get the update Cross Device Experience Host in the Microsoft Store. After updating, turn on the “Use as connected camera” switch in the “My mobile devices” section.
Besides potentially better quality, the advantage of using your phone's camera as a webcam is that you can stream both what's in front of your computer and what's behind you by switching between your phone's front and back cameras (and adding different effects) .
Google is working on introducing a similar webcam feature in Android 14 – but Microsoft's solution will have an advantage when it eventually releases, at least in that it will work with older versions of the OS.
