I thought this was built into Android 14, and it's relatively simple already?

I always found Phone Link to be bloated and buggy. KDE connect was more reliable for what I needed
Does GrapheneOS not support this? I am not seeing a Webcam option under Use USB for
EDIT: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/8672-phone-as-webcam/3
I guess it needs a cable though, and Phone Link is wireless?
Yea I guess so, I'd be curious about the latency from that
My Asus laptop came with their own version of this preinstalled. I had to install the corresponding app on my phone, but when I tried it out, I had no noticeable amount of latency for anything you would use a webcam for. It was over a relatively fast WiFi 6 connection though.
I was curious if someone was gonna mention KDE connect. From what i saw it looked pretty good though i havent used it myself.
KDE connect has been really buggy for me since my most recent Linux install. I can't even send texts unless I use the command line. And it has to redownload all my texts every time I reopen the app.
At least I get notifications 100% of the time, which is the most important use case for me.
