Samsung Camera Share - Microsoft Store Link

Samsung’s Camera Share feature has been updated to support Galaxy Books starting with the first One UI 7.0 beta. It previously allowed using your phone as a webcam for a tablet, but now extends to Galaxy Books. Here’s the discussion:

Camera Share seems to be exclusive to Galaxy Books. I couldn’t get it to work on non-Samsung PCs.

Link to Windows has a similar feature. It requires a Samsung phone but works with any PC.

I couldn’t find it. I have an Acer laptop and a Samsung S24.

On Windows, try Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Mobile devices, and choose ‘Manage devices.’ Once linked, flip the switch to ‘Use as a connected camera.’

I don’t see the ‘Use as a connected camera’ option. Is it because I’m on Windows 10 instead of 11?

Yes, it seems to be a Windows 11 feature for now. Not sure if Microsoft plans to roll it out to Windows 10.

@Devin
It works on most devices. I used it with a Xiaomi phone. Some premium features may be exclusive to Samsung devices.

Hopefully, someone will create a workaround, like with Samsung Notes, to make it compatible with other computers.

I installed it over Samsung Settings on my ASUS laptop. It seems to look for phones, though I don’t have One UI 7 on my phone yet.
