I never found a web app that would allow me to put my Android phone directly in front of my windows laptop screen transparently*. This would allow you to look at the middle of your Windows screen while video conferencing. Now that AI Studio supports building Android apps, maybe I should give this a try.
*The Android phone screen would display exactly what was on the laptop screen behind it (could probably even auto-calibrate using the rear camera?) and use the Android front camera as a normal Windows USB-C webcam.
Nice! I built something along these lines but far more janky. My setup is a clamp-mount mic boom arm and an L-shaped bracket, along with a mic-to-1/4" adapter. Boom clamps to the monitor arm, reaches over the monitor, then the short end of the L is attached to the arm via the adapter. My webcam has a 1/4" screw built in, so that attaches to the long side of the L.
I've been using it for years, works great to get the camera down for calls and back up out of the way when not needed. Only problem is that it's not super stable so I have a small spirit level insert glued to the top of the camera to make adjustments easier.
External USB C monitors are getting cheap enough to make a dedicated 2-way mirror teleprompter style webcam setup reasonable.

Edit: somewhat recent photo of my setup, including the webcam: https://imgur.com/a/ip3ff4F
I'd love to see the pic, but imgur has banned the UK. Any chance you can upload this elsewhere?
