If you're tired of using workarounds and downloading various software to use your smartphone as a webcam for your PC, you've come to the right place!

Thanks to Google, with Android 14 you can do it without installing anything on your PC or smartphone!

In this short video I show you how to use the new Pixel 8 (but also Pixel 6 and up) or any smartphone with Android 14 as a USB webcam, without installing any app on your smartphone or PC!

(N.B. device manufacturers other than Pixel may modify/remove the feature during software customization)

High Quality Mode UPDATE

in the latest Android 15 Developer Preview 2, Google released an "High Quality Mode" feature for the webcam.

This feature adds an additional onscreen button to activate it, offering a significantly better video output.

However, it will disable all energy optimizations, resulting in significantly higher battery consumption.

Sorry, the Pixel system language is set to Italian, but the audio is in English.
I'm not comfortable speaking English, so i used an AI translator to translate my voice ^^
