Erste Schritte mit Camo

To get started, you’ll need to install Camo Studio on your computer and get Camo on your iOS or Android device. We recommend installing the mobile app first.
Get Camo on your mobile device
Camo ist im App Store und im Google Play Store erhältlich . Sie finden es auf beiden, indem Sie nach "camo" suchen.
Camo Studio auf Ihrem Computer installieren
Nachdem Sie die App auf Ihr Mobilgerät heruntergeladen haben, können Sie die Computer-App direkt von Camo aus teilen.
- To share from iOS to macOS, AirDrop the desktop app to your Mac by tapping the AirDrop icon on the Getting Started screen.
- To share to Windows, tap
Send Link
from the Getting Started screen on Android or iOS.
Alternatively, you can download and unzip Camo Studio for macOS here and Windows here.
Once you've downloaded Camo Studio, double-click the Camo icon to install it.
- On Windows, check the box to accept our license agreement and click
Install
. - On Mac, grant Camo permission to install. It will move itself to “Applications”, and set up a plugin to let video conferencing apps see and use it.
On both Windows and Mac, Camo Studio will also ask if you want it to automatically check for updates. We recommend that you allow these, as we release updates regularly to stay compatible with a wide range of video apps and add new features and improvements.
Camo und Camo Studio koppeln
Camo lets you connect your mobile device to Camo Studio via either Wi-Fi or USB. We recommend pairing over USB for your first session as it offers the best video latency and connection stability.
If you are using an Android device and are looking to connect to a Windows computer, the easiest way to pair is via Wi-Fi as the process to pair through USB is more complex in this case.
Find out more about the trade-offs between Wi-Fi and USB connections.
Pairing Camo over Wi-Fi
Pairing Camo with Camo Studio over Wi-Fi is simple and works the same for iOS and Android devices:
- On your computer, open Camo Studio and tap the
+
button next to theDevice
dropdown in the left sidebar. This will open a pairing window displaying a QR code. - In Camo on your mobile device, tap the wireless connection button in the top-right and then scan the QR code displayed on your computer.
- Your devices should connect automatically and video from your mobile device should start streaming through to Camo Studio.
The minimum requirements for pairing over Wi-Fi on Apple devices is macOS Catalina (10.15, released in 2019) and iOS 13 (released in 2019). All supported versions of Windows and Android are compatible with Wi-Fi pairing.
If you encounter any issues pairing your devices via Wi-Fi, check out our handy troubleshooting tips or try connecting over USB.
Pairing Camo on iOS over USB
Pairing Camo running on iOS is automatic on both macOS and Windows. Plug your device into your computer using a standard Lightning cable and, after a couple seconds, you should see video from your device appear in Camo Studio.
Pairing Camo on Android over USB
The steps for pairing Camo for Android differ depending on whether you’re pairing to a Windows PC or a Mac.
Your Android should connect automatically to your Mac over USB. If you previously followed the steps below to connect to Windows, make sure USB debugging is turned off by searching for Developer Options
→ USB debugging
and unticking it.
To pair Android to Windows, you’ll need to turn on USB debugging. The instructions to do this vary slightly depending on the Android phone you're using. We've outlined the process below using a Samsung Galaxy S20.
Wenn Sie Hilfe beim Aktivieren des USB-Debugging für Ihr Android-Gerät benötigen, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte und wir führen Sie durch den Vorgang für Ihr spezielles Telefon.
To turn on USB debugging:
Verbinden Sie Ihr Telefon mit Ihrem Computer und öffnen Sie Camo Studio. Sie sollten den folgenden Bildschirm sehen:

I'm an Android user. I use Google Pixel 4a. When will you release the app for Android? I have been waiting for a long time. I signed up on the app Page already.

Is there an integration for Camo with the vMix streaming software?
antworten Sie mit: Reincubate Support
Hey Kokayi, thanks for commenting. Our understanding is that vMix requires Windows and won't run on a Mac. When we ship the Windows version of Camo we're expecting to support it.
von Oliver Beukes
Hey, I was wondering if there was wondering if a version for windows was in the works
antworten Sie mit: Reincubate Support
Thanks for asking! There is — expect to see it in a few weeks. If you visit the Camo page you'll see you can sign up for the Windows waitlist towards the bottom of the page.

Hello-does Camo work with Mac OS Big Sur yet? Just checking. I'm sure you intend to make it do so eventually.
Thanks! Phil Hubbard
