Homemade Webcam

What I plan on making for this project is an easy, cheap way of getting a webcam at home. Why would you need to spend 30$+ to get a webcam that barely attaches to your monitor, leaving more wires in the void in the back of your computer. Something that everyone has in today’s day in age is a phone! So with this you can attach your phone to your monitor allowing you to save 30$ on a webcam that probably has worse quality than your phone’s camera. To prepare it all you need is 4 rubber bands for each side, tying it around so you can have more friction and to save your screen from scratching or breaking. Then you just screw in the 2 pieces together to the desired tightness so it can fit any phone and any monitor.

What issues did you come up against?

I didn’t have many issues regarding this piece, it was fairly simple. But the only aspect that did require a bit of thought was what I could put in-between the 2 pieces holding together both the monitor and the phone without scratching t
