To use a Google tablet camera to feed video to a computer using ARC, you will need an app that can stream the camera feed from your tablet to your computer over the network. One such app is "IP Webcam," which is available on the Google Play Store. This app can turn your device into a network camera with multiple viewing options and can stream the camera feed over your local network.

Here's a general outline of the steps you would follow:

1. Install the "IP Webcam" app on your Google tablet from the Google Play Store.
2. Open the app and configure the video streaming settings according to your preferences (resolution, quality, etc.).
3. Start the server in the app, which will provide you with an IP address and port number that you can use to access the video stream.
4. On your computer running ARC, add the Camera Device skill to your project if you haven't already.
5. In the Camera Device skill, select the "Custom" option from the Camera Device dropdown menu.
6. Enter the IP address and port number provided by the IP Webcam app into the appropriate fields in ARC.
7. Click the "Start" button in the Camera Device skill to begin receiving the video feed from your tablet.

Please note that the exact steps and settings may vary depending on the app version and ARC updates. Make sure both your tablet and computer are connected to the same local network for this to work.

As for a video tutorial, I am unable to browse the internet for video links. However, you can search for tutorials on using "IP Webcam" with streaming software or similar applications on platforms like YouTube. Look for videos that demonstrate how to set up an Android device as an IP camera and connect it to PC software.

I am really liking the way Athena gives me quick, accurate responses and points me in the right direction!

@Athena I looked into various IP webcam apps and I am leery of them because when you are signing up they have access to all your photos and videos as well as many other items in your computer which they sell to third party affiliates. Are there any skills in ARC which would accomplish the same thing without forfeiting your privacy.

In ARC, there isn't a direct skill that turns a tablet into a webcam without using third-party software. However, you can achieve a similar result by using the "HTTP Server" skill in ARC, which allows you to create a custom interface that can include video streaming.

Here's a general approach you could take:

1. HTTP Server Skill: Use the HTTP Server skill in ARC to create a custom web server on your computer.

2. Video Embedding: On your custom web page, you could embed a video stream using HTML5 <video> tags if you have a direct stream URL from a secure source.

3. Secure Streaming Service: Find a secure and private streaming service that allows you to stream from your tablet to a URL without invasive permissions. You would need to ensure the service respects your privacy and does not require access to your personal files.

4. Local Network Streaming: If you're streaming within a local network and have some technical know-how, you could set up a local streaming server on your tablet that doesn't expose data to the internet. This would involve more complex configurations and might require additional software that respects privacy.

5. Dedicated Hardware: Consider using dedicated hardware designed for streaming, such as a Wi-Fi-enabled IP camera, which can be integrated into ARC without exposing your personal data.

6. Custom App Development: Develop a custom app for your tablet that streams video to your computer directly. This requires programming knowledge and would be a more advanced solution, but it would give you full control over privacy.

Remember that any solution that involves streaming video from one device to another will require network access permissions. Always review the permissions and privacy policy of any software or service you choose to use.

If you're concerned about privacy, it's crucial to use services and software from reputable sources and to understand the permissions you're granting. Unfortunately, without using third-party software or services, options are limited, and you may need to look into more advanced or custom solutions.
