Getting started with Camo

To use Camo, you'll need to install it on your mobile device and your computer. We recommend installing the iPhone app first.

Installing Camo on your iOS device

Camo is available on the App Store. You can find it by searching for "camo".

Installing Camo on your Android device

1. Camo for Android is still in beta. Sign up to our Android beta list.

2. Once you’ve been added to our beta list, you’ll be able to download the app by searching for ‘camo’ on the Google Play Store.

Installing Camo Studio on your Mac

• Once you've downloaded the app to your iPhone, you can AirDrop the desktop app to your Mac by tapping the AirDrop icon on the getting started screen. Alternatively, you can download and unzip Camo Studio from here.

• Double-click on Camo Studio to run it

• When you first run Camo Studio on your Mac, it'll prompt you for permission to install (it'll move itself to “Applications”, and install a plugin to let video conferencing apps see it)

Once that's done, Camo Studio will open on your computer. When Camo Studio runs for the first time, it'll ask if you want it to automatically check for updates. We recommend that you do, because we update Camo Studio regularly to stay abreast of compatibility with a wide range of video apps.

Installing Camo Studio on Windows

Camo Studio for Windows is currently in public beta.

• If you've downloaded the app to your phone, tap Share Link from the Getting Started screen to send to your computer. Otherwise, download Camo Studio for Windows here.

• Double-click on Camo Studio to run it

• Follow the installation instructions it shows.

Pairing Camo for iOS

Pairing in Camo is automatic — just plug your device in. Connect your device to your computer with a standard lightning USB cable, and after a few seconds, you should see yourself in Camo Studio on macOS.

Pairing Camo for Android

The steps for pairing Camo for Android differ depending on whether you're pairing to Windows or Mac.

To pair Android to Windows:

1. Connect your phone to your computer and open Camo Studio. You should see the following screen:

2. Follow these steps on your Android to configure your device:

   • Go to Settings, search for Build Number and tap it 7 times.

   • Now search for Developer Options in Settings, scroll down to USB debugging and tick to turn on.

   • Selecting Always allow from this computer means you will only need to do this once.

To pair Android to Mac:

Your Android should connect automatically to your Mac, unless you followed the steps above to connect to Windows. If this is the case, turn off USB debugging by searching for Developer Options → USB debugging and unticking to turn off.

Activating Camo

There's no need to pay to use Camo, and the free edition provides everything you need to use your iPhone as a high-quality webcam. However, if you'd like to unlock all of Camo's power, you can upgrade by clicking the "Upgrade" button on the top-right of Camo Studio.

That'll show a window like the following, with buttons at the bottom to buy a license or activate a license. Clicking "Buy now" will take you to Camo's checkout to buy a license.

Once you've bought Camo, you'll receive an email with a username and password for activating Camo. Go back to Camo Studio's Upgrade and select Activate license to enter your credentials and start using Camo Pro.

If you've closed the browser window you used to buy Camo, and you can't find the email, search for support@reincubate.com in your inbox and check your spam. Contact us if you get stuck or need help!
