Note 10+ as a Webcam?

[lateck2]

My Windows PC's camera took a dump and for some reason you can't buy a good webcam right now.
I need it to take classes via Zoom. Yes, I know I can just use the app right on my Note 10. But the screen is larger on my laptop.

Any suggestions or apps to get this done?

Thanks in advance for any information.

If you have a Windows 10 PC you can use DeX on your desktop/laptop and benefit from the larger screen. You can also do that on a TV or external monitor if you get an USB-C HDMI connector.

You could log into Zoom, and join the meeting, both from your phone and from your PC. Broadcast video on your phone, watch others' video on your PC monitor.

I don't know if Zoom lets you participate on two devices with the same account, but if not you could create a second account.

may not need two accounts if you use dex

Good idea, as much as I like DeX I don't think that woulda come to mind

It's either that or SmartView to mirror the phone onto the PC, but unless that's done via wired connections, video isn't always a good thing to mirror.

I just gave this a try using RingCentral (built on Zoom) on my S20 Ultra. The app doesn't even show up on the Mac, only on the phone. After joining the meeting, the RC app only displayed on my S20 Ultra, not on my Mac. I was hoping that it would work.

Thank you all. I have had issues setting up DEX but I am working on it.
I'll look into the others.
I did find DroidCam and it works with Zoom so I'm good to go for now. (Need to upgrade my laptop in the future. )

Just mirror your screen to a smart TV? Easy then
