You absolute legend. I have already seen videos explaining how to use IVcam and also tried it and it didn't work. But your explanation was were detailed and comprehensive that I made it work. I especially appreciate the part of the Developer options because that didn't work for me before. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work
Dear lord, you just saved me a couple of hundred bucks investing in a webcam :) BRILLIANT.

@@pal2tech Honestly it can't be expected you will make every possible combination, that would be an overkill... But I think the videos are great to show that anything should be possible really, so one just needs to look into their specific combination to find a solution.
This was great! I just had to go back into my laptop firewall settings and allow ivcam access to home and public, then it connected. Thanks much!!
This has been a very helpful video for me today! I was so stressed out because high-quality webcams are really expensive. God bless you for sharing this idea.
This saved me so much money. I was browsing webcams when I wondered if I could somehow use my phone with my PC. Thank you so much!

Apple products have a wider array of app selection for productivity however I've always preferred Android because when you have an android there is always a way. Whether it means doing a little extra digging to find what you need or straight up doing it yourself and coding it you will always have a solution. Open source will always be objectively better in the long run especially if you're willing to put some extra work in.
Love this !!

Thx for explaining this so clear, this will be a great way to save me a lot of money. One question that I have, the smartphone that you use for this, is it possible to use an old one (with very good camera) that's not connected to the internet and has no connection to a providor (mobile subscription) ?

This is so good!! Not to mention the camera quality overall is amazing!!! Also, for those wondering, the PC program for IV Cam is completely 100% safe! I scanned it with Windows Defender, and no threats were detected!! This is going to make life a whole lot easier!! Many thanks Again Pal2tech!!!

Well after fighting to get this to work for the past few hours, I did all of the stuff you and others talked about. It didn't work, however I did finally make it work, by changing a setting on my phone under usb options. I have three options, Charge Phone, Media Device (MTP) or Send images (PTP) when MTP is unavailable. That worked on my LG phone. I don't know why MTP is not available though. Just some if anyone needs it. Thanks for helping us out!
Superb! Exactly what I needed. Thanks a lot!
SIMPLY THE BEST VIDEO ON YT ON THE MATTER, AND AN AWESOME INSTRUCTOR; GOD BLESS YOU, SIR
THANKS Bro - Good job. I benefitted tremendously
Great explaination. You already got my thumb up :-) One addition for other people who try it (sorry if my explaination in English is not perfect). In contradiciton to what was said in the video you are able to use the microphon of the Phone! Just have a look in the settings. Not the ones you find with this little wheel. But the settings you are going to find on the farthest lower right. There you can set Audio and select the phone or other audio devices. Don't be confused if it doesn't work immediately. The screen re-starts after you said ok. Then the selected audio device will do its job. I hope this helps.
