πŸ‘ How to turn a smartphone into a webcam

A useful lifehack will allow you to turn your smartphone into a webcam for your computer and you do not need to buy a new one. This is in case the laptop's built-in webcam is weak, and there is an old and unnecessary Android smartphone nearby.

How to do it:

1. Download the DroidCam application and run it. A screen with basic information will appear and the camera will automatically activate: you will see the address of the webcam on the local network. IMPORTANT: both the computer and the phone must be connected to the same network.
2. Now download and install the DroidCam Client on the desktop from the official website.
3. Launch and enter the IP address displayed on the phone. If desired, select the "Audio" option to transmit not only video, but also audio. Click the "Start" button.

After connecting, an image from the phone's camera will appear on the computer. You can minimize this window and then open any program in which you need a webcam. If it doesn't work, go to settings and select DroidCam as the camera you are using.

1. Download the extension for Chrome, Opera, Firefox.
2. You will see a menu with more than 80 functions. You can customize keyboard shortcuts, hide descriptions and comments, filter the blue color to relax your eyes, and block ads.
3. The appearance of the video hosting page can also be controlled by changing colors, fonts, the size of elements and the design of the site.

It's even better than YouTube Premium and absolutely free.
