Hello. I am a Beginner in HoloLens. I am looking for a way to import live feed from another USB camera to the HoloLens. I am Using Unity 5.6 and Visual Studio 2015 or 2017. Is there a simple way or step by step tutorial I can use to do this? Thanks.

Hi, it sounds like you want to use spectator view: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/spectator_view
Spectator view allows others to see on a 2D screen what a HoloLens user sees in their world, but from an outside perspective. It allows an audience to see what a HoloLens user is doing in the holographic environment.
The documentation and code can be found here, including a step by step guide on how to get started: https://github.com/Microsoft/HoloLensCompanionKit/blob/master/SpectatorView/Calibration/README.md
Thanks for your comment. Actually, this is not what I am looking for. I am planning to develop an application in which, the user, who wears the HoloLens, can see a live feed from an external USB camera connected to a specific computer.
I tried to find some documentation, but unfortunately, I could not.
