You can begin using your phone as a webcam almost immediately. You have to use your phone to initialize the connection.
- Open the 'Applications' folder.
- Here you'll find an application labeled 'WebCam'.
- When you've opened the 'WebCam' application, select 'Options'.
- Select 'Connect' from the 'Options'
- menu.
- A screen showing the most recent Bluetooth devices you connected to your phone will be displayed.
- If your PC doesn't appear on the list, select the 'More devices' option.
- Scroll to your computer's name when it appears and press 'Select'.
- Your PC can be identified by the computer icon next to the name.
- On your PC, the preview window is much larger.
- The quality of the video is dependent on the resolution of your cellphone camera. (For this workshop, we used a Nokia N73, which has 3.15 megapixel camera.)
