Need a different kind of "phone-webcam"

I have an online interview in less than 48 hours, I don't have a webcam/mic. The hits I did find do not really help me. The interview will be taken over chrome using the HirePro tool. I need something that when my PC is requested for its webcam and mic, my phone's cam and mic are automatically found. The solutions I could find require me entering my phone's IP in my browser, and HirePro will have its own link sent to us by mail a few hours before the interview I think. Please help me out.

EDIT: I'm using a Realme 3, Android 10.

Exactly what I tried, for using phone as webcam on chrome, I am required to enter my phone's IP in the browser.

No? Nothing about the logistics of how this works needs your phones ip address and not "in the browser", and if you're paranoid about the ip, use the usb passthrough mode
