iriun (iOS & Android): http://iriun.com/ price, if any, not shown
Care to share the name of the app and where it is available?
Yes, you can.
I followed a tutorial on Youtube and downloaded an app that lets you do these things.
Anyway, thank you very much!

No, you can't do that.
You might be able to buy a USB-connected webcam that you can use with your laptop, but they have become scarcer and much more expensive than they used to be. All of the following have combined to drive the prices up and availability down: everyone's working from home because of coronavirus, all new laptops have cameras, and everyone has a smart phone with a much better camera.
