Use an USB device like a camera from a remote machine

How cool is that. I wanted to use my new camera should work on multiple devices without plugging it into a different machine all the time.
ChatGPT came up with this project https://www.virtualhere.com/
From what I read it is free for one USB device.
It works on multiple platforms. In my case I plug the camera into my M4 and share it with other machines like my Thinkpad.
A camera needs quite some bandwidth and low latency. I my first tests it worked pretty good.
21.07.2026 Update:
When testing it in a meeting there is still some time lag, similar to what you get with playing audio using bluetooth.
At least in my demo showing it to someone over the preview during a meeting causes a delay.
So I would still prefer to use the camera on the same machine. It is still pretty good to have as an option.
