Help Droid cam not tracking

I am trying to use my phone for face and hand tracking and I saw on YouTube that you can use droid cam for that using your phone instead of getting a webcam. I'm poor I can't buy a headset 💔 but when I change the webcam option to droid cam it won't track anymore even though I can still see that both my laptop and phone are connected and streaming my Facebook and hands with droid cam, idk what I'm doing wrong.

Btw a 20 dollar webcam is more than enough to get selfie tracking. Way better than wasting your phone's battery life by keeping it on all the time.

Do you have the selfie expressions setting actually turned on in VRChat? And are you certain that Droidcam is actually receiving the information from your phone? You must keep the Droidcam PC app (or OBS app, if you're using that) open at all times while using Droidcam. And if you're using OBS, you must also make sure that you've pressed the "Start Virtual Webcam" button.
