How do I use the stripped camera of a broken Android phone as a webcam for my PC?

Answer 1

If you're on a PC running Windows and you use an Android phone, one of the easiest (and wireless) methods is to use an app called DroidCam. Download the app from the Google Play Store on your phone. (Your phone needs to be running Android 5.0 or higher. To check, go to Settings > About Phone > Android version.)

Unfortunately, it is not possible to use the stripped camera of a broken Android phone as a webcam for your PC. The camera needs to be connected to the phone’s processor and display in order to be used as a webcam. If the phone is broken, it is likely that the processor and display are not functioning properly and unable to support the camera.
