That's an interesting idea. I've had some problems doing Zoom or Skype, and a setup like that would have been an improvement. I now have an external camera for those sessions and that pretty much solves the problems.
I've finished scanning all the holiday parts for one of my ensembles, and here is my current thought.
Try very hard to avoid gray scale. That means scan on a flatbed when convenient or when doing large volumes. Scanning B&W with the phone camera is much faster and gives decent quality BUT ONLY if the lightiing is just right. If the lighting in rehearsal is uncertain, scan both ways but assume you'll probably end up doing it over later.
Genius Scan looked promising but is pricey. Adobe Scan worked but made it very hard to access the proprietary storage. The iPhone File command gives less control but is still adequate most of the time.
I have been told I should upgrade my printer scanning software to one of the commercial offerings, VueScan, and might consider that.
