Camo uses your iPhone or iPad as a pro webcam for your Mac

AppleInsider:

Camo is a new app for iPhone and iPad that allows you to repurpose your mobile device’s camera as a pro-quality webcam for your Mac that works with all your favorite applications.

Users can choose which lens to use on their iPhone, adjust video zoom, and control individual settings like saturation, exposure, temperature, and contrast. The iPhone’s flash can be controlled to adjust lighting, and users can even jump between multiple iOS devices during a call.

Out of the box there is a massive list of applications that Camo supports. This includes Zoom, Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Slack, Google Chrome, WebEx Teams, QuickTime, and many others. There are more than 40 in total. At the moment FaceTime is left off the list, but is on the roadmap.

I’ve been a beta tester for Camo for a couple of weeks and, while it works mostly as advertised, $40/year to rent camera software seems steep for personal use considering simply plugging your iPhone into your Mac via USB and using the latest version of QuickTime accomplishes the same thing for free.

The biggest “advantage” Camo has is the ability to make adjustments to video zoom, saturation, exposure, etc. But if you already have good lighting, you may not need those features.

Just an FYI from a professional user of the software.
