  "account": "Google's Pixel smartphones offer a feature called \"Connected Cameras\" that allows users to connect compatible external cameras, action cameras, webcams, or even other Pixel smartphones to their device for recording or streaming. This feature can be found in the device settings under \"Connected Devices\", and users can select an external camera when using supported apps. Only one external connection is allowed at a time, but it can be added, removed, or switched between the smartphone camera and the external camera as needed. The audio is captured by the selected camera, and users can stream live content using that camera. For remote cameras to work, they must support the USB Video Class (UVC) standard. Pixel A and Pixel 10 devices cannot use other Pixel smartphones as external cameras. The \"Connected Cameras\" feature does not automatically create a system-wide webcam for all apps; it must be used through a compatible app such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, or TikTok. The external camera can provide wide-angle or close-up perspectives, and the connection allows users to apply filters and effects available in the respective app. This is particularly useful for creating seamless or live-switching content, such as tutorials, documentaries, or creative videos. The second device can provide a bird's-eye view, wide-angle, or close-up perspective. For sport and action footage, wireless configurations are used, with one device capturing a stationary wide view while the other remains close to the action, such as on a helmet or handlebars. This setup is typically not possible with a USB cable connection and is facilitated by Android's Cross-Device services when both devices are signed in to the same Google account and the Cross-Device service is enabled.",
