Would have been a nice feature during Covid for when the webcams had sold out.

Strictly speaking, you could do this but it required external apps to do it. IP webcam or something.

Thx. I tried. But I did't find any good open source one. I mainly use the F-Droid store.

And for recommending it to other people it's certainly easier to give them a USB cable than teach them to install an App, a companion program on the PC and set-up the connection. So I still like the new solution. But you're 100% right. Doing things like this is typically the job of an app. And there certainly are multiple ones out there once you're less strict than me with the free and open sofware.
