It depends on the specific Android phone or tablet you are using. Not all Android devices are compatible with Plugable microscopes.

Why Android Compatibility Varies for Plugable Microscopes

Plugable microscopes are recognized by host systems as standard webcams. To work with a Plugable microscope, an Android device must meet two criteria:

• The operating system must include and activate an active USB Video Class (UVC) driver.
• The device manufacturer must allow the use of external webcams.

Because external webcam support varies by manufacturer and model, and is rarely documented in official specifications, you may need to contact your device manufacturer to confirm if external webcams are supported.

How to Use a Plugable Microscope With Compatible Android Devices

If your Android device supports external webcams, connect the microscope and open a compatible third-party camera app, such as "USB Camera". Plugable does not provide dedicated webcam software for Android.
