I think he meant you can use the android phone as a webcam for Linux. There are apps that let you connect via WiFi, and it essentially proxies the camera out.
Ooh right. I looked at a few of those apps. They seemed a little invasive on the permissions and data collection to me
Yes that’s what I meant, I thought Apple is (like most of the time) late to the party with a feature like this. For me it’s built right into the OSes and I don’t have to do anything. If my phone is near to my laptop, I can just select it as a webcam.
When this finally arrived in iOS and macOS it felt like one of those things that Android with Linux/Windows must have had for years tbh. 😅
