Use your Galaxy phone as a camera for your 2022 Samsung Smart TV

If Smart TVs were like computers and had built-in web cameras, video calls with large groups would be so much easier. Well, even if your Smart TV does not have an integrated camera, you can attach an external camera, including the one on your Galaxy phone! Just use the Camera Sharing feature on your 2022 Samsung Smart TV to share your phone’s screen to your TV. You can do this with the Samsung Health app as well if you would like to use your Smart TV’s screen as a mirror when you are working out!
