Yep, phone cameras are typically way better quality than webcams. You don't even need to use USB, most of the apps just connect the phone to the pc via wifi. I was using an old iphone as a cam until a webex upgrade made webex incompatible with it.
Maybe a daft question, but do you need to use the laptop at all? Skype and Zoom both have phone apps. Loads of people I work with don't bother joining meetings from their laptops, they just use the app on the phone.
