    Wait a year and your $1000 $650 Pixel 8 Pro will look like an even cheaper camera.

      Yeah, I use their OBS version since I had a few issues with OBS and the normal one. My cat likes to sleep on my computer and I needed another camera to point at her when streaming… And then I realised I didn’t need to buy one because I had old phones with good cameras in my desk drawer. Just got a cheap mount to hold my old xiaomi mi 9 SE. Looks fantastic, works well.

    Is this site cancer on Mobile? Or is that just me? I get highjacking ads that take me elsewhere and can’t return to the site

      No ads for me personally, but I’m running ublock. Could you share a screenshot?

        Lol I tried to take a video but the ad didn’t appear. It was one of those fake “you were randomly selected to win $xxx” and the other was a fake antivirus scan

          You’re probably actually one of those randomly selected winners where it actually mattered and counted but you thought it was just some shitty ad or scam… You should have clicked it…

    I bet this is for compression for mobile networks. Saw those pictures on a phone screen and they looked fine. Plus, webcams just look like shit. Even if your Pixel 8 Pro is compressed as fuck, it’s still gonna look better than most people’s webcam.
