Camo - Use your iPhone or iPad as a pro webcam

We all know it: The built in computer camera (Apple or otherwise) is garbage. And so are most webcams. The back (or front) camera on my old iPhone7? Solid. I reached out and begged to beta test this - it's been something I've been asking for PRIOR to covid - and it's implementation is solid for a 1.0. Can't wait for the Windows versions. Can't wait for 2.0. But 1.0? Totally, TOTALLY usable.

FYI, I just tested it with Telestream's Wirecast app (I use it to broadcast my podcast video each Wednesday). Seems to work fine with the beta app. Camo doesn't have it listed as a supported app on their site. It also works to directly broadcast live on YouTube. Good luck on the launch!

As @afit mentioned, I was brought in early to write about webcams and looking your best on a call, so I've been able to play with Camo from the beginning. I know this sounds like an obvious testimonial, but before Camo, the camera I'd been using was NOT the crappy one in the lid of my 16-inch MacBook Pro, but an EVEN MORE CRAPPY one built into an old Apple Thunderbolt Display that I use as my main monitor. You don't know what you've been willing to put up with until you see the light of something better. Give Camo a try, and you'll be surprised at how much better your calls will look.

This is so great — one of those apps you've kind of always wanted or assumed should be baked into macOS but hasn't been. What a useful product!

This is a really great idea.

@afit Congrats on the Launch. I've waited sooo long for this. Thank you.

Very cool, will have to give this a try.

Hey Aidan, love this concept especially as a Mac user who likes to use his laptop in clamshell mode. Is it possible to make this available to 🇨🇦? Able to download on iOS but not Mac App Store...

Very useful and practical.

love it. surprising what a difference it makes in video quality. What I'd love to see: support for taking audio from the phone as well... and for more stabilization (if you mount the phone to your laptop it will move quite a bit if you type or touch the track pad... solvable with a separate mount of course :)
