  description

  Your phone camera is better. Extroid puts it in your video calls – wirelessly, privately, and without any app installs. It works with any browser‑based meeting platform. Your phone appears as a standard hardware camera, no special plugins needed.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  📸 WHY EXTROID?
  
  Your laptop webcam holds your video back. Extroid sends your phone's video directly to your browser – no cloud servers, no cables, no app installs. Scan a QR code and you're in frame.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  ✨ FEATURES
  
  📸 Phone Camera Quality – Use your phone's superior optics instead of a grainy built‑in lens
  ⚡ Works Where Others Don't – Extroid appears as a real hardware camera to every website. If the platform runs in Chrome, Extroid runs with it – no special plugins required
  🔗 Universal Platform Support – Works with any browser‑based video conferencing platform
  ⚡ Nothing to Install on Your Phone – Open a link and connect. No app stores, no permissions maze
  🎯 Instant QR Pairing – Ready to stream in under 10 seconds
  🔒 Local Network Privacy – Direct device‑to‑device connection. NO CLOUD SERVERS. NO DATA STORAGE
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  🚀 HOW IT WORKS
  
  💻 On your computer:
  1️⃣ Click the Extroid icon in Chrome
  2️⃣ Sign in with Google
  3️⃣ Click "Generate QR" – a unique code appears
  
  📱 On your phone:
  4️⃣ Scan the QR code with any camera or QR scanner app
  5️⃣ The mobile interface opens automatically in your browser
  6️⃣ (Optional) Add to home screen for faster access
  
  ✅ Back on your computer:
  7️⃣ Select "Extroid Virtual Webcam" in your meeting app settings
  
  After the first connection, sign‑in is skipped and everything is even faster.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  🔐 WHY GOOGLE SIGN‑IN?
  
  Extroid uses your Google account for one thing: temporarily storing the connection handshake between your phone and browser. This data lives in Chrome's hidden appdata folder and is deleted the moment your session ends.
  
  - We never see your video
  - We never store your email
  - We never use cloud servers
  - We keep nothing after you disconnect
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  🔧 REQUIREMENTS
  
  Network – Both devices on the same WiFi (local traffic only)
  Phone – Android with Chrome (works on iOS through Safari)
  Computer – Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc, or any Chromium browser
  Video quality – Limited only by your phone's camera
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  🔒 YOUR PRIVACY
  
  📵 No Cloud Servers – Video stays on your local WiFi
  🎥 Camera Access – Only active while streaming
  🔐 No Account Storage – Email used only for pairing, never saved
  🗑️ Automatic Cleanup – Session data deleted when you disconnect
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  📶 TROUBLESHOOTING
  
  Some WiFi networks block direct communication between devices. If Extroid won't connect:
  1. Use your phone as a WiFi hotspot – connect your computer to it.
  2. Use USB Tethering – connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable and enable USB Tethering in phone settings.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  🚧 ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
  
  Extroid is under active development. We add features and improvements every day. If something doesn't work as expected – let us know.
