“Everything about Camo is wonderful but the latest update includes wireless functionality which makes the app even more incredible. I’ve tested the wireless functions and tried to make it stutter or slow down but was unable to. I’m pleasantly surprised that the wireless function works as great as it does. It’s perfect for recording YouTube videos in HD (even at 60fps) while being able to control white balance, ISO, saturation, etc..” – HelloPretzel

My work PC doesn't have a webcam (it's a tower). While shopping webcams I discovered Camo, which lets me use my already great iPhone 7+ camera as my webcam for virtual meetings. It's been fantastic. Thanks @reincubate! Looking forward to whatever's next! #CamoGiveaway #webcamtoy

Just discovered Camo studios—allows you to use your iPhone camera (in portrait mode) as a zoom webcam, the difference in video quality is kinda remarkable 😲

Been using Camo studio on my Mac Mini to give me a webcam and officially love the app. I use my 12 Pro Max main camera for a webcam and it looks better than any webcam on the market! Super easy to use too. Highly recommend it if you wanna step up your zoom game.

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. 🎉

I have an over-the-top Zoom rig with a big camera, but it’s a hassle to setup/breakdown. I put together a simple alternative for quick sessions: @twelvesouth HoverBar Duo + @reincubate Camo.

Turns out the gap between at the big camera and iPhone is less than you think.

You don't need a fancy camera setup to record higher quality video for your podcasts.

Instead, download the @reincubate Camo software to leverage your smartphone camera as your webcam. 🎥

📷 Webcam

People spend tons of money on makeup and clothing, but don't mind broadcasting with a janky laptop cam.

Luckily, you already own a great webcam – your phone.

To leverage it just download the Camo app (@reincubate).

Check out the difference.

5 minutes of using my iPhone as a webcam with Camo and I’m throwing away my Logitech Brio

This is so true. An ancient iPhone 5s, released in 2013 (!) that had been sitting in my drawer is producing a better image now via @reincubate Camo than a pricey Logitech Brio webcam that I had purchased (and have since returned).

About

Want to look your best on video calls? The camera on your iPhone or iPad is leagues ahead of any webcam on the market, and Camo makes it easy to use your iPhone as a webcam.

iPhone cameras are getting better but webcams are getting worse. As the Wall Street Journal reported, many newly-released laptop cameras are worse than 2010 models, and many only do 720p, which even YouTube doesn’t consider “HD”.

We’re taking a fresh approach to solving this: no ads, no spam, no fiddly pairing, bulletproof drivers, and a polished, simple app that lets you make the most of the amazing camera you already own.

Using your iPhone makes a huge difference compared to regular webcams, but Camo lets you do even more to look your best on video calls with detailed image adjustment controls. There’s much, much more to come.

FAQ

Which video apps is Camo compatible with?

Lots! More than 40, including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, GoToMeeting, Cisco Webex, QuickTime, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp and more. You can see the list on our site, or in Camo Studio itself.

Camo will never ask you to run some random command. We’re not like that.

Will Camo impact my privacy or security?

No. Camo doesn’t know what you’re using it for, and doesn’t capture or transmit your feed. Our privacy policy is here, but the tldr is that your data is your business, not ours.

What’s next on Camo’s roadmap?

We didn't stop at 1.0. Recently, we've released support for audio, "portrait mode", custom watermarks, and Windows. There's plenty more coming up next. You can read more in our FAQ.

Do you have non-profit or education discounts?

We do offer discounts for students and those working in education or for non-profit organisations. Please get in touch to find out more.

How is Camo different?

Camo gives you control of everything from your Mac — with rich image adjustments — and it does all the processing on your iOS device, freeing up your computer’s power for work. It has a beautiful native app with Dark Mode support and full iPad support. It has up-to-the-minute compatibility with over 40 apps, and detailed guides on everything from mounts to calls.

Camo doesn’t bother you with complicated and unreliable drivers. It doesn’t have an insecure pairing process — or ads! — and it doesn’t force you to rate it in the App Store. It’s got a built-in uninstaller should you wish to remove it: no need to run cryptic Terminal commands.

We wrote about why we built Camo.

How does Continuity Camera compare?

Camo and Continuity Camera share an original thought: that you can achieve great video using just the camera you already have in your pocket.

Camo started from this idea and in the years since has been continuously improved and upgraded. Using a great camera gives you a solid foundation to build from, but there’s still a lot more to looking incredible on video.

Check out our comparison of Camo and Continuity Camera to find out more.

How can I mount my iPhone as a webcam?

We bought every type of phone mount on Amazon, and tried them all. We photographed the lot of them, and wrote up our experiences and recommendations here.

What is Camo compatible with?

Camo is compatible with any iOS device running iOS 12 or above, so you could run it on an iPod Touch just as well as your iPhone 14 Pro. Or iPad Pro.

It’ll run on any Mac with macOS 10.13 or newer, and on any PC with Windows 10 or newer. We’ve made sure it runs on 2012 MacBook Pros and the 2015 12" MacBook. Zoom won’t even let you use virtual backgrounds on them, but Camo’s fine.

Camo is compatible with iOS 16 and macOS 12. It is optimized for Apple Silicon.
