So, one of the little hailed features from the new update showed up on my Pixel 7a (of all devices - none of my other devices showed this one off as a new feature, despite getting it).
You can now use your phone (later Pixels) as a webcam.
Plug your device into your computer. Whenever you plug in to a computer you get a silent notification that shows "charging by USB", you can tap it for more info. This was in the past used to change it to file transfer similar - but now we see 'webcam'.
Tap it and you can then see an option in the notification tray to adjust the 'webcam', which lets you set the front or back camera and then the zoom level.
Load up your favourite webcam app of choice (Meet, Zoom, etc...) and you can now choose 'Android' for your camera.
Pretty cool if you want to use your phone as maybe a different angle (I have a couple 'stands' that I can put my phone into to help with that).
