Supported Devices:

  • Pixel 9 Series: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Setup Steps:

  1. Enable Feature in Settings: Go to Settings > Connected devices > Connection preferences and enable the 'Connected Cameras' option.
  2. Open Compatible App: Launch a supported app (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok).
  3. Use Camera Picker: A floating chat head will appear; tap it to expand into a pill. Tap ‘Add Pixel’ to see nearby devices signed into your Google Account.
  4. Grant Access: On the other device, you’ll be prompted to grant access and choose the camera (back or front).
  5. Connect GoPro: Pair the GoPro via Settings > Connected devices > Pair new device. It will then appear in the Camera Picker.
