Camo
Notas de lanzamiento

Another day, another Camo Studio update. This update is preparing us for an update to the iOS app that's coming soon. It also updates compatibility information for 10 apps.

If you run into any problems, please reach out to us at support@reincubate.com. We'd love to help and hear from you.

• Improvement Camo Studio is now much clearer about what to do if you connect an iOS device running a version of Camo that's too old or too new.
• Improvement We've added compatibility information for Camtasia, Flipgrid, Stream.club, Tuple, Zoho Meeting, Jio Meet, Meet Butter, and Macro. We support most of these — if you use one we don't support, please reach out to them!
• Fix We've noted QuickTime in Big Sur's latest beta doesn't support Camo Studio. We're working on this. We've also dropped compatibility with Skype for Business. We can't make it work consistently for enough users yet.

We're starting the week with an update to address a problem with disconnects that some users have run into. Please let us know if you experience any problems. We're going to be shipping a number of additional updates later this week.

If you run into any problems, please reach out to us at support@reincubate.com. We'd love to help and hear from you.

• Improvement We renamed Exposure duration to Shutter speed. Thanks, experts! (ISO will be coming back soon.)
• Fix When Camo Studio wasn't in the foreground, macOS would sometimes put it to sleep. This made disconnects more likely to occur.
• Fix We've made the resolution default to 720p for new, unlicensed users.

This Camo Studio update is a fix to resolve problems we've seen in macOS 10.13.6.

If you run into any problems, please reach out to us at support@reincubate.com. We'd love to help and hear from you!

• Fix We've bundled some missing libraries that were causing problems in 10.13.6. Sorry! We'd tested this before, and then we broke it.

Today's Camo Studio update is a minor update to help us diagnose any issues that users encounter following launch day.

Camo's gone live, hurray! Thanks to an army of beta testers.

• Fix We've temporarily disabled ISO controls and presents. We're going to resolve problems with these and ship updates to them shortly.

Today's beta for Camo includes a number of tweaks as we approach launch day. We're not quite there with presets, but we're going to follow up with them soon.

If you've already got Camo Studio, please update it using the "Check for Updates..." option in the main menu. If you don't already have it, you should already have an email from us with a download link. (Check your spam.)

• Feature We've totally reworked auto-focus. It was driving us crazy. It was driving you crazy. Now we think it's kinda cool. What do you think? You can let the phone figure it out. Or you can focus on a point. Or you can manually control focus.
• Feature Licensing is now enabled — you must activate Camo to get to the Pro features.
• Feature We now automatically load Camo Studio when you try to use the camera, so you don't need to run it in advance. Thoughts?
• Improvement We've disabled logging by default. This means there's less for your phone to do. If you run into problem, you can enable logging using your iPhone or iPad's Settings menu.
• Improvement We've added proper automated error reporting to Camo. This'll make it easier for us to diagnose problems from afar.
• Improvement We've added some notes on Firefox compatibility. It can't handle switching away from 1080p. Guess they like it.
• Improvement Added integration for Amazon Chime, Screen.so.
• Improvement Added compatibility note for mmhmm. We support it.
• Improvement A competitor joined our beta, copied a unique ID we put in Camo, and put it in their app. Meaning that if you had both installed at the same time, neither would work. We've changed it so this won't happen in future. Unless they copy us again.
• Improvement We've updated the acknowledgements. We'll be putting translators here soon!
• Fix Overlay corruption issue is fixed. You should see no more wonky graphics when paused.
• Fix Recording with ScreenFlow and QuickTime Player is fixed. Sorry about that.
• Fix Reconnecting a paused device to Camo now shows a nice message, not a throbber.

It's time for another Camo update. This one's just for iOS. We've fixed a crash caused by extreme ISO settings, and we've stopped the temperature and tint sliders from doing the Wrong Thing™.

• Fix Setting extreme ISO settings before switching lenses no longer crashes Camo on iOS.
• Fix Temperature and tint no longer just make you green. Some people like being green, if you do, setting the hue to 103° is still an option.

Well, that was quick: the ninth public beta of Camo. We've fixed a crash caused by lots of fiddling with the image sliders.

If you've already got Camo Studio, please update it using the "Check for Updates..." option in the main menu. If you don't already have it, you should already have an email from us with a download link. (Check your spam.)

• Feature If you bought Camo Pro in the pre-sale, you can now disable the watermark. (And thank you!)
• Feature Rotation support. It took us long enough. Sorry! (Though don't forget, you can get this natively if you turn off "orientation lock".)
• Improvement We've made the orientation rotation slightly more graceful.
• Fix We've fixed a crash caused by extreme ranges in the tint and temperature sliders.

It's time for the eighth public beta of Camo, and an important milestone: this build is pretty much feature-complete. We've got lots to polish, and a handful of bugs, but we're getting there.

We've changed how iOS communicates with macOS in this build, so you'll have to upgrade both the iOS app and Camo Studio to use it.

If you've already got Camo Studio, please update it using the "Check for Updates..." option in the main menu. If you don't already have it, you should already have an email from us with a download link. (Check your spam.)

We've not shipped an automated integration with Cisco WebEx Meetings yet. If you can help connect us to the WebEx team that'd be very helpful.

• Feature Add brightness, saturation, hue, exposure duration, gamma sliders. Oh, and they show you what the phone does automatically, too.
• Feature Pan and zoom support.
• Feature Camo supports cheat codes. Put a famous cheat code into Camo Studio and maybe something will happen. We woke up one morning and this commit was in the repo.
• Feature We've added ICQ to the integration list.
• Feature We've added the licensing UI. It works.
• Improvement We don't dumbly let you click "Install Integration" if it's already been done.
• Improvement We've updated the GoToMeeting text to describe how to workaround a problem it has.
• Improvement We've tidied up the onboarding window for iPad users.
• Improvement We've added our iPhone mounting guide to the help screen.
• Improvement We're rearranged a huge amount of things to make this build possible!
• Improvement We've changed the default Camo Studio mode to be "scale to fill".
• Fix We've resolved a problem installing Camo when it's already in "Applications". Sorry about that.
• Fix We've change the FPS dropdown to a label.
• Fix We've partly fixed the crazy auto-focus problem, but we're afraid there's still more to fix.

Here's the seventh public beta of Camo. We've stepped back from doing nightly builds to allow us to focus on a few features.

We've changed how iOS communicates with macOS in this build, so you'll have to upgrade both the iOS app and Camo Studio to use it.

We've started working on a big UI update for the release of macOS 11 Big Sur. Stay tuned for more information.

• Feature We've totally redesigned the welcome screen you see when starting Camo on iOS for the first time.

• Fix We've totally rewritten the connection between iOS and macOS and how settings are handled. We're keen to know if it addresses any connectivity problems you had before.
• Fix We've resolved a number of camera orientation bugs. If you find more, please let us know!

Today's build marks the sixth public beta of Camo. If you've reached out for help with WebEx integration, we're working on it and hope to have a simple solution for it soon.

If you've already got Camo Studio, please update it using the "Check for Updates..." option in the main menu. If you don't already have it, you should already have an email from us with a download link. (Check your spam.)

• Fix We've resolved an issue where disabling video mirroring could act unexpectedly on some lenses.

• Improvement We've added support for QuickTime Player on macOS 10.15.
• Fix We've resolved with the show / hide menu option.
• Fix We've stopped the selfie camera being listed twice on devices with a TrueDepth front camera running iOS 12. We don't officially support iOS 12, but you should live your best life.

• Fix We've resolved some issues with transfer of settings between the computer and iOS device causing crashes.
