Android 14 was originally supposed to add webcam functionality (IIRC it added an "act as a webcam" option when plugging the phone in via USB in the Betas). The speculation is that although it was removed from the final release, it might be added in a December update.
- mcny 3y agoDoes that mean effectively it will only be available for devices that release with Android 15 (ignoring pixels)? Edit: I have a OnePlus nord n30 5G that released with Android 13. Is it eligible for this feature? Iirc OnePlus said it will only give this budget phone one (1) version upgrade so wondering if a December feature drop counts as a second upgrade… :( Maybe won’t even matter if this requires specialized hardware :(
