DroidCam 3.6.2

There are various ways in which you can use a webcam, the most common one being chatting online. Due to their popularity, you will find many webcams in the market relatively cheaply. However, you have to look harder and spend more money if you want a webcam that connects to your computer wirelessly. It is therefore a relief to know that you can use an android webcam free of charge. If you have an android phone, then all you need is DroidCam software.This small application enables you to use an android phone as both a microphone and webcam. You won’t have to worry about buying another gadget to connect to your computer.

We could also select different outputs, including whether to rotate the output and change the desired output size.Please note that you have to install DroidCam client on your Android phone before you can access the phone and use it as a webcam. To connect to phone via WiFi, we turned on WiFi and connected to the network as usual.
