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

Camo is still in beta. You can get access by signing up here.

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

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.

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!
