how to use camera of the smartphone on a tablet

Hi all,
excuse me if the title is not clear, trying explaining better:

the PC of my son has died and he's using now, as urgency, his tablet to follow school's lessons remotely.

for some days he will has to go this way but the camera of the tablet is very bad so I thought to use camera of his smartphone.

My idea is:

1. he launch the app ("zoom" or similar) on the tablet
2. he follows the teacher on the screen of the tablet (since it is larger than smartphone)
3. the teacher watches him from the camera of the smartphone

is there a way to connect the devices and let the tablet use the camera of the smartphone?

thanks for help!
 
There's no way that I know of doing that. The usual workaround is to join the meeting from both devices (Zoom has no problem with you signing in to the same account on more than one device and joining either the same meeting or two different meetings simultaneously).

But what is the camera being used for? It doesn't need to be any good if its only purpose is to show the teacher that he's really there (and if you need to show an object or some writing most devices have a rear camera that's good enough for that purpose).

the camera is for the teacher, that wants to watch and monitor the guys...
or even during a classtest or an interview

ok guys, thank you very much anyway
it's a pity, I hoped it was possible
