Yes! You read that right. Imagine that you are teaching your students, and instead of the boring web camera view, you get a helicopter view of your work. Wont it be easier for you to explain the concepts better then?

Your students will not only be impressed with your ability to showcase different dimensions of your work, but also, they will be surprised how you managed to do it!

Several options in the market can assist you with this kind of setup. However, the cost of the same is ridiculous. I simply don’t understand why should I purchase another camera that looks at my work a.k.a. ‘a document camera’ when I already have a 20 MP camera right on my mobile phone!

But how do I connect my phone with my laptop? Let me help you with that. It’s a two-step process- download Tcamera (https://tcamera.app/) from play store. That’s it! At Rs. 199/- (or $ 4.99 out of India), it’s a killer deal, I must add. Step 2 is — scan QR code seen on the portal using the app and bingo! You can now stream your mobile camera to your laptop.

Just use Google Meet or any other preferred application and showcase your work…and your extra skills!

Thank me later ;)
