I want to video with my Google Pixel 8 in a low slung manner. I’ve got a duff back and can’t bend. Is it possible to use another mobile, particularly a Motorola G, as a sort of master, where it would show the image on the Pixel?

I’ve tried searching online, especially YouTube, but I’m probably asking the wrong questions.

I don’t know but I looked up screen mirroring which seems to have some possibilities, but probably only to external monitor not another mobile

“to an external screen using a compatible USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to HDMI adapter, you’ll now be met with an option to “mirror display,”

Thanks for that. I'll give it a try.

Can you not video call it from the other phone?

Google using old phone as a security camera.

That should lead you to apps that you put on each phone, where one phone can view the camera feed of the other. I used one years ago, I think it was called iCam.

There's an app called Alfred that is quite popular -
