# Connecting Camera from PRISM Mobile App

The PRISM Lens supports various webcam or camera, but they can be felt a bit pricy and its settings can be quite exastive. Fortunately, PRISM Lens supports connecting a mobile camera through the **PRISM Mobile** app. 

Furthermore, It allows you to not only use your **mobile device as a webcam** but also share your **screen** or incorporate **VTuber avatars** seamlessly. For more information about **PRISM mobile app's screencast** or **VTuber mode**, refer to the following pages:
