PhoneCam v1.5 — preview-first PC app (video fills the window, floating controls)
A preview-first PC app — the phone's picture now gets the whole window.
🖥️ Redesigned desktop window
- The video fills the entire window. The old fixed side panel is gone.
- Controls float on top as translucent overlays: connection status (top-left), Settings + Fullscreen (top-right), and a Start/Stop button centered at the bottom (red while live).
- The QR code, setup steps, virtual-camera selector and tools moved into a Settings panel (gear button, or
Ctrl+,). It opens automatically on launch so the QR is right there, and tucks itself away once your phone connects — so while you're on a call it's pure preview. - Fullscreen (F11) keeps just the floating controls. The third status light now reads "Webcam" (clearer than the old "Viewer" count).
🧪 Hardening
The redesign went through a multi-agent adversarial review; six issues were fixed before release — including the "Webcam" light no longer showing green when no virtual camera exists, a guard against a first-run certificate race, and Escape correctly leaving fullscreen from the Settings panel. (The overlay-over-video layering was verified against the bundled Qt version.)
The phone page is unchanged from v1.4 (corner Stop, double-tap flip, zoom snap, plain status copy, etc.).
📦 Install
PhoneCam-SingleFile.exe— one file, nothing to unzip (first run unpacks itself ~20 s, later runs start instantly). SmartScreen may warn → More info → Run anyway (unsigned, not harmful).PhoneCam-Portable.zip— the classic folder; extract anywhere and runPhoneCam.exe.
Upgrading? Replace the app; reload the phone page once (⟳).
