How do I pair my Apple Vision Pro with Camo Studio running on a Mac or PC?

You can refine and customise your Vision Persona for recordings or online meetings by downloading Camo Camera, currently in beta and available for testing on TestFlight. All of this can be done within the Vision environment, following these steps:

• Join the beta on TestFlight, and then download and open Camo Camera (blue icon).
• Mirror your computer screen in the Vision environment, and open Camo Studio on your computer. On the device dropdown in the upper left of the Camo Studio interface, select "Pair a device."
• In the window that opens, select the option to "Share pairing file."
• Choose one of the sharing options, send the file, and then open it on the Vision Pro. If you've shared the file using AirDrop it will automatically open the Files app in preview mode. To open it in Camo, pinch the share button and select the Camo app.

You should now see your Vision Persona in the Camo Studio interface. As with any other connected camera, you can now apply Camo's wide range of adjustments and then either record directly in Camo or use the Persona for meetings on any platform by selecting Camo as your source.

Note: Your display can mirror in the Vision environment, but not its audio. To hear sound from your meeting, you'll need to use either your computer's speakers or a set of headphones/earbuds.

Why can't I use Camo to stream or record my experience in fully-immersive apps?

In the Vision environment, non-immersive apps can run alongside each other, enabling Camo to record or stream your experience in other apps. Unfortunately, entering a fully immersive app backgrounds Camo Studio, preventing it from capturing your view.

Why does the pass-though of my physical environment disappear when I'm recording or streaming content from another app with Camo?

Other apps on the Vision can't access your camera, so the background will be blacked out when using screen capture. Camo will still capture virtual backgrounds, e.g. White Sands, Yosemite, or the Moon.
