The best thing about the Apple ecosystem is that all devices work together to provide you with a seamless experience. Look no further than the Continuity Camera, a feature that lets you use your iPhone as a webcam every time you plug in ** on your Mac. This simple yet genius idea has people so loyally stuck to this ecosystem. Well, this feature will eventually make its way to Android devices as well. However, you need to be part of the Windows 11 internal program, and you also need to install the latest Windows link on your phone.
Microsoft has just announced that with the latest features of the Windows internal program, users will be able to use their Android devices as webcams. The device needs to be running Android 9version 0 or above, you will also need a link to install a Windows app on your device. Microsoft says that the app must be in version 124012 or later to use the feature.
The key part here is that you will need to be a part of the Windows internal program. Once you become a part of it, you just need to make sure that your Android devices or laptops or use the Connect to Windows app to connect to each other and you should be good to go.
Best of all, android users will be able to choose the front or back camera of their device, and there will also be special effects that they can use. Microsoft has confirmed that the feature is currently rolling out to everyone involved in the insider program. If you're interested in knowing how to use it, we'll be sure to publish a complete guide to show you how.
Honestly, I'm glad that such a feature will be available on Android devices and Windows 11 computers. For many people who don't have a webcam or have a camera on their laptop, this will make things even better. However, one thing I really care about is whether this feature will work as well as a continuous camera, as I can tell, the functionality on Apple devices is pretty smooth. I've signed up for the insider program and will be testing this feature out and reporting back to you.
