How Can I see My Cellphone Camera On My PC Without Apps Like DroidCam

[CosmoQueen88]

Okay here is what I have and what I am trying to do.

I have a desktop with Windows 10 Home and a laptop with Windows 10 Home and a Samsung Galaxy A10E.

I want to connect my back facing camera to my laptop or desktop. I don't won to be able to control the camera just see my camera so I know what the video will look like.

Example I want to share my phones screen with my laptop or desktop but over USB. I would love to be able to use the "OBS Studio" to record and edit the video but not sure if it will work or not this way. I would like to go straight from the phone to the OBS studio with USB cable but not sure if I can.

I currently use the "DroidCam" on my cellphone and on my laptop but I don't like that I can't edit or tinker around with the video until after I have finished recording.

I would like to ether do this on OBS Studio and record and edit on there or use a good video recording app and be able to see the screen as I am recording with my computer. But I don't know how to do this without using the droidcam app. I can connect droidcam from USB to OBS studio and create a video but the video is a little off and I can't do much unless I turn off some apps on the phone and turn off the microphone in the droidcam app and use a different microphone. I was just wondering if there was a different way to do this without a limiting app like the free version of droidcam.

I hope this post makes sense if not please ask for more details or if you do understand just let me know what you think and i this can be done or not.

Thank You!

Welcome to Android Central! Does it have to be a USB connection? You could try AirDroid: https://help.airdroid.com/hc/en-us/...creen-to-the-computer-with-AirDroid-Personal-. I've never tried it myself, so I don't know how smooth it is.

I've used Air Droid before. It worked well, but I think there was some noticeable lag (it's been years, so memory is a bit fuzzy).
