And that without calling in twice. Laptop cameras as normally very crap. They say “1080p”, but most of the time they are 720p or less and have maybe 2 megapixels or less. Phones have way more and can be connected to the laptop via USB. There must be a way to use their camera over USB, right?
I know of USB over LAN, so surely this is possible.
I’m not sure when they added it and it might only be some phones (I have a pixel 9 pro), but you can just plug your phone in via USB and use the USB mode notification to switch it to webcam mode
