Desktopfreeglobal

PhoneCam is a free tool that turns an Android phone's camera and microphone into a regular Linux webcam and mic over a USB cable, with nothing installed on the phone, no WiFi and no cloud, coordinating scrcpy, v4l2loopback and PipeWire behind one simple menu script. It is aimed at Linux Mint users who want to use their phone's better camera for video calls, as a free alternative to paid apps like DroidCam or Iriun.
