The Galaxy S26 has launched a novel capability that enables it to function as a USB webcam for computers and laptops. This feature, which has been present on various Android devices since the rollout of Android 14 QPR1, is now being embraced by Samsung for its premier smartphones. Users can connect their Galaxy S26 to a PC using a USB-C cable and choose the webcam setting in the USB options. This functionality supports both the rear and front cameras and offers a High Quality Mode for enhanced video streaming, although it might make the phone warm up a bit. Currently, this feature is exclusive to the Galaxy S26 series, but it could potentially be introduced to older models through forthcoming software upgrades.
