  1. Can I make windows read my phone as a webcam?


    Title says it all, I can use it via WIFI or a Type C cable, but I need windows to read it as an actual webcam. Just plug in the phone to the PC open the Camera app on it.

    Is that even possible?

    Can I make windows read my phone as a webcam?

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.
