No longer need an app like Droidcam for this feature.

    Phone Link can be used for that? When I set it up all it gave me was texts and notifications that only worked half the time. I found it quite disappointing.

      Well by “parts of your phone”, I mean calling/texting, and seeing notifications. The things I can’t really do without my phone. Most other things I can do via a web browser.

      If you have certain Microsoft Duo, Samsung, and HONOR phones, you can access apps, but then again that’s a moot point since this is about using your phone as a webcam in Android 14, which is currently only a Pixel thing.

      I haven’t tried Phone Link since it launched, so I am unsure how good it is, but I am going to be optimistic lol.

        Phone link works quite well for me, works just like you describe. Shares your phones screen when using apps.
