My desktop doesn't have a webcam, and I've been able to avoid it so far, but I just found out I need one for Monday for a meeting. Anyone know of local places that might have one for sale (NOLA/BR area). I can't seem to find any.

Also doesn't appear to be any on Amazon Prime (there are some on Amazon but quickest delivery is Tuesday).

Failing that, is there anyway to route an iPhone 8 camera to a desktop client?

My backup plan is to just join the meeting on my phone to use my camera, and a second time on my computer to view presentations, but that seems like a pain.

Thanks.

It's not just you... this is a big problem all around.

I think some of the regular cameras can be used as webcams. I know Nikon came out with some software because there was a webcam shortage.

You can use a Microsoft Kinect if you have one or know anyone who will let you borrow it for a day.
