    Hi,
    I would like to create an app that tells a Android Tablet to use its micro HDMI or micro USB port to stream video, so you can connect a output of a video camera and use the tablet as a bigger screen.

    This app will be free.

    There is an app that kinds of does this, but is massively bloated so its laggy and slow.

    (Everything else on the store is a remote)

    Is the function 'WebCamTexture' the right path?
    Thanks
    Will

    Honestly, I wouldn't expect Unity to be on the right path for this task. It's going to be bloated, laggy, and slow compared to a native Android app.
