You can use your Galaxy as a PC webcam: here are the requirements

samsung is about to introduce a feature that now seems like a must-have among large manufacturers, given that apple he already launched it and Google did it in beta. Let’s talk about the possibility of use your smartphone camera as a webcam for your PC (here are the best webcams of the moment, if you are looking for one).

We are talking about the feature leaked following the launch of Galaxy S24, Samsung’s 2024 top-of-the-range smartphones. The ability to use the Galaxy phones camera as a PC webcam would obviously be restricted to compatibility with i Galaxy Book by Samsung.

The functionality would base its operation on Phone Link, the Windows app that we know in our area as Connect with your phone. Its purpose is clearly improve quality of video streaming, given that webcams are currently integrated into portable PCs they can’t compete with the photographic devices that we find in smartphones.

Currently Samsung he did not reveal any particular details on how the news just leaked will work, if not some images shown last time CES Las Vegas which anticipated the functionality on the Galaxy Book 4.

In the last few hours, however, they have emerged interesting details from the South Korean version of the official Samsung website, where a support page has been published for the functionality to use the Galaxy camera as a webcam on Galaxy Book PCs. Among the details that interest us we find i requirements to use it. They obviously concern Galaxy smartphones and Galaxy Book PCs:

• Galaxy smartphones updated to One UI 6.0 and later versions.
• Galaxy Book updated to One UI 6.0 and later, ea Windows 11 24H1.

So, the good news is that Samsung’s news it will not be confidential only him latest models released on the market, but also to previous Galaxy Books that will receive the new Windows update. Likewise, compatible Galaxy phones will not only be the Galaxy S24 but all models that will receive the new One UI 6.0.

We will still have to wait. Microsoft has not yet released Windows 11 24H1it should be done by March 2024.

And March 2024 is indicated as the period in which the new feature developed by Samsung should arrive.
