These days, we are often asked to video chat with our co-workers and friends with apps like Zoom and Skype. This can be difficult if you don’t have a webcam on your computer. However, if you have a smartphone, there is a free app that will let you turn it into a webcam. Here’s how to use your phone as a webcam, and how to set it up with Zoom and Skype.
To turn your phone into a webcam, install the EpocCam Webcam app on your phone and its corresponding driver on your computer. Then open your video chat app and change your webcam to EpocCam Camera.
If you are using Zoom, you can change your webcam by clicking the gear icon in the top-right corner of your window. Then click Video in the left sidebar and choose the EpocCam Camera from the drop-down list next to Camera.
If your video is sideways or upside down, you can click the Rotate button in the top-right corner of your video window to rotate your webcam by 90 degrees.
If your video is facing the wrong way, you can also flip in on your phone by clicking the flip button in the top-right corner of your phone’s screen.
If you are using Skype, you can change your webcam by clicking the three-dot icon next to your name in the top-left corner of the Skype app. Then select Settings and go to Audio & Video. Next, click the downward-facing arrow next to your webcam name and select the EpocCam Camera.
You can also change your microphone to a headset below and test it out.
