Kerry Wan/ZDNETOn the rare occasion I need to join a Zoom meeting, I must be in my office because my MacBook Pro M1 webcam doesn’t always cut it. However, thanks to a handy app, I can use my Pixel 9 Pro’s webcam, which is far better and more flexible than the built-in camera.Believe it or not, it’s ridiculously easy to do this. In fact, the feature is built right into the latest releases of Android.Also: I changed 12 settings on my Android phone to dramatically improve battery lifeBut why would you want to do this? Well, as I mentioned earlier, your laptop webcam may not be good enough for your Zoom meetings. This is especially true when you’re sitting in a room with insufficient light.

With your phone, you can attach it to a stand, hold it, or do whatever you need. That kind of flexibility will help you get just the right look in your meetings. But how do you make this work? As I said, it’s so easy. How to use your Android phone as a webcam What you’ll need: You’ll need a phone with an updated version of Android — I’ll demonstrate on a Pixel 9 Pro with Android 15 — a PC or laptop to join your meeting, and a USB cable capable of high transfer speeds. If you purchased a Pixel phone, the included cable should work fine. If not, try your other cables to see which one works. More
