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.

To use the stripped camera of a broken Android phone as a webcam for your PC, you can follow these general steps:

Connect your broken Android phone to your PC using a USB cable.

Enable USB debugging on your phone by going to the "Developer options" in the phone's settings and toggle the "USB debugging" option on. If you don't see Developer Options, go to "About phone" and tap the "Build number" 7 times to enable it.

Download and install the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) on your PC. ADB is a command-line tool that allows you to communicate with your Android phone over USB.

Open a command prompt or terminal window on your PC and navigate to the directory where ADB is installed.

Run the following command: adb devices. This will list all the devices connected to your PC over USB. Make sure your phone is listed.

Run the following command: adb shell "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.camera/.Camera" This command will open the camera app on your phone.

On your PC, open your preferred video conferencing app or streaming software and select the "Android Camera" as your video source. The video from your phone's camera should now be visible on your PC.

Note: These steps may vary slightly depending on your specific Android phone model and PC configuration
