smartphone webcam

The smartphone webcam tag covers turning an old Android or iPhone into a Windows PC webcam using apps like DroidCam, Camo, Iriun, iVCam, or EpocCam, as well as the Microsoft-supported Phone Link and Link to Windows route on Windows 11. This approach is useful because laptop webcams are often low quality, and many users already own a capable smartphone camera. The tag is relevant for home workers, streamers, students, and IT departments looking to stretch hardware budgets by repurposing a spare phone instead of buying a dedicated webcam.
