When making video calls, if we are at our home or work center and we have a webcam on our computer, we can use our smartphoe, but the comfort offered by a keyboard and mouse we will never find it on our smartphone.
Fortunately, if our smartphone has a camera, we can use it on our computer through an application. We are talking about DroidCam, an application that allows us turn our Android smartphone into a webcam for our Windows managed computer.
The first thing we must do is download the application on our mobile device. DroidCam is available in two versions, one free with limited functions and the other paid, a version that allows us to activate the flash, activate the automatic focus, go back and rotate the image. DroidCam, not only allows us to use the camera of our smartphone as a webcam, but also, it also allows us to use the microphone of the same in our computer.

Once we have downloaded the Android application, we must download the application for Windows, an application that includes the drivers so that we can use the webcam of our smartphone remotely, via Wi-Fi, without having to connect our smartphone to our computer.
Once installed, we open the application on our Android smartphone and later on our PC. In the Windows application, we must enter the IP data shown on our smartphone along with the port that is displayed (this number does not usually vary so it will probably not be necessary to modify it).
Once we have correctly entered all the data, click on Start. If the data is correct, the application will display the image from the smartphone camera. Finally, we just have to open the application with which we want to use the camera of our smartphone as a webcam and in the video source select Droidcam.
