Use a photo as a camera feed

[MathProfessor]

I ask here because I know some of you gentlemen are skilled in these matters.

I have an app on my phone that is asking me to submit a photo of a document.
I have such a photo on my computer, but they want the photo to be taken from the phone app.

(That's not really ideal because .. My phone has a broken camera.......... )

I have tried taking a photo of the screen but it's obviously a photo taken from a screen and the photo gets rejected.

Is there any way to replace the camera feed on an android phone with a picture file?

Google "⊗⊗⊗⊗ front cam (apple or android)"

The x'd word is "phake", spelled properly.

Only someone trying to circumvent fraud security measures would claim their 'camera was broken' and need to upload a photo.

What a terrible thing to do, circumventing fraud security.

Is it possible?

Thanks for that. How do these work, in practice? Do you install it as an app on your phone? Or does it run on top of emulator software on a PC?

Typical European


Seriously, if he wants to commit fraud let him, why do you care
