Pixels can do this natively since the December Feature Drop (connect over USB, then select the webcam option) and you've been able to do this for years through third-party apps like Camo (which Microsoft benevolently decided to install for me for some reason). What is Microsoft bringing to the table that they're doing better than the competition?

Now we need someone to make a bypass so this run on Windows 10 too.
Like you need a app for it anyways so whats the big deal ?
That W11 force to upgrade your hardware is annoying. I still hope i can use my 10-12 years old pc for few more years before i build to new PC as the DDR5 still too expensive as motherboards also and to build on DDR4 now is just not good when easy fix to change motherboard time comes and then there are not much left in the market for your ddr4. The dilemma i had 2 years ago to find a ddr3 motherboard and needed to get used board.
Then again maybe i go with mini PC next as i dont play games but would still like to have a graphics card in it something on the lines of rtx4060 so next 10 years be no worries with any games

hope this will push off those low quality 1080p desktop webcams off the market.

Will it work with USB 2.0 or 3.2 only?

MacOS Continuity Camera but better. You do need Windows 11 but your device can be on any recent version of Android like 12, 13 and 14. 12 isn't recent at all but it still feels like it (to me).
