I’m going to write about this at some point but this is now how I do all my live TV hits. iPhone 11 Pro hooked up to MacBook Pro using Camo webcam app.

For almost a year, I've been struggling to find a great web camera solution that works for Zoom/Meet/Facetime. Part of me wondered, why isn't there just a way to use the spectacular camera on my iPhone when I'm using my iMac?

Answer: There is. @reincubate Camo. Unbelievable. 🎉

Going a bit overboard leading our company meeting on @zoom_us today.

OBS for overlays + a moving news ticker of our latest revenue numbers and other goals. @OBSProject

Camo for using iPhone in Portrait Mode as my web cam @reincubate

Got my Camo beta invite and did some quick performance testing. Uses WAY less CPU than what I currently use and is much easier to set up. 🎊
Will definitely be adding this to my videoconferencing guide as the recommended webcam solution. 👍

It’s the best. Hands down as I’ve tried them all. Almost made my own out of dissatisfaction of the others and glad I didn’t as this is perfect.

Got a hold of the @reincubate's Camo and the first impression is: mindboggling.

I'm using @reincubate's Camo since this morning and it's 🤯. Very easy to setup, to use, the quality of my meetings are greatly improved!

Gotta say, Camo is an amazing application to let you use a iPhone as a webcam. Works out of the box even for Jitsi.

I don't always buy software after 30 minutes of trial, but when I do it's something like @reincubate #camo .

I have to say, Camo from @reincubate is shaping up to be amazing already. Three meetings using the beta today, and the quality difference is night and day. And setup couldn’t be easier.

Camo is an incredible app. I’m selling my old 4K webcam because of it.

How is nobody talking about this??

Instead of spending $2K+ for a DSLR setup, you can use your iPhone as a webcam, in just a few minutes!

It's MASSIVELY better than the FaceTime camera.

Over Zoom, it's hard to see the difference between a iPhone 11 Pro and a DSLR:

@mathowie

I needed to show my coworkers 6 different webcams I've tested over the last few months. Here's about 20sec of each, all recorded today.

Verdict? iPhone11 Pro w/ @reincubate's Camo is the best bang for the buck, esp. since you don't need extra hardware (just charge cable+tripod)

@LewwyPaints

Will I go back to using a normal webcam after using my iPhone, courtesy of Camo by @reincubate? Probably not, no. Certainly looks better than my Razer Kiyo!

Camo is friggin amazing. Like “how is it so low latency I can’t believe it’s technologically possible” amazing

Jeez using an iPhone 11 as a webcam via Camo @reincubate let me pay and upgrade this already! This is amazing!

PS. I need to see my barber asap

@unclespeedo

After 2hrs on MS Teams yesterday (Camo/iPhone 11), one of the other participants asked “hey are you using your computer camera?”

*gulp* “no, why, is it way out of sync? Bad quality?”

“No, the opposite, it looks REALLY good”

Thank you @reincubate.

@alessi0p

Camo Studio free *humiliates* any webcam I've ever tried, including the embedded 1080p one on my previous workplace's LG Ultrafine 5k.

And this is with the free version, using an old iPhone SE.

I can't imagine how good the image can be with Camo pro on an iphone 12 pro 🤯🤯

After trying out the Camo beta by @reincubate, I'm reminded that good engineering is truly undistinguishable from pure magic.

I'm happy to know that my webcam will now always be just as good as my current iPhone's camera.
