The mobile phone camera as a webcam for a laptop or desktop computer. Users do not need to download any App, and only need an Android 14 mobile phone and a USB cable to establish a connection. After connecting the Android phone to the computer with a USB cable and selecting the "Android Camera" option, the relevant functions can be enabled, and the zoom can be switched, such as 1x or 2x, or the front and rear cameras can be switched.

It is understood that with the exception of Pixel Fold, all phones that are compatible with Android 14 currently support this feature. It is estimated that Pixel phones will be opened first, and will be expanded to other brands later. Although there are many third-party apps on the market that provide similar functions, this is the first time that the native Android system has it.
