Changing the default camera on Skype
After you've gotten your phone to work as a webcam (using DroidCam or EpocCam), you need to change the settings in Skype before you can use your phone as a webcam. This is what you need to do:
1. Download and install Skype if you haven't already. Third-party cameras don't always work well with the Windows 8 style Skype app, so you will need the desktop version.
2. Once Skype is running and you have signed in, you'll need to go to Tools > Options.
3. Click Video settings under the General tab.
4. Select the correct camera from the drop-down menu next to Select webcam:. The name of the camera varies depending on the app you are using to connect. Android users will have to select DroidCam Source 1, while iPhone users will select EpocCam.
6. Click Save.
You can now use Skype on your computer to make a video call, and it will use the feed from your phone's camera for the video.
If you use any other app to turn your phone into a webcam, let us know via the comments. For more tutorials, visit the How To section.
