Galaxy S26 gains USB webcam mode for PC calls, catching up to Pixel-era features

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 now can act as a USB-C webcam for PCs and laptops, letting you use its rear (primary or ultrawide) or front cameras for video calls with a High Quality Mode that offers higher bitrate but can heat the phone. The feature follows Google's native Android webcam support introduced with Android 14 QPR1 and improvements in Android 15, but Samsung has only just brought it to the S26 lineup (likely via One UI 8.5) and it’s not yet on older Galaxy devices. You can even charge the phone while plugged in during use.
