• Feature Camo Studio now works with all cameras! You can now use Camo Studio with any camera you can connect to your Mac, including built-in cameras, webcams, DSLRs or mirrorless cameras, action cams, and iPhones connected with Continuity Camera.
• Feature Portrait mode has been overhauled on iOS and is also now available for all cameras. It can also now be used in combination with AR modes.
• Feature Spotlight mode ensures you stand out in your shot, brightening you up against the background.
• Feature Privacy blur lets you hide what’s in shot behind you, removing the need for jarring video-conferencing background removal.
• Feature Replace mode enables you to substitute your background scene with a replacement backdrop or a virtual greenscreen.
• Feature Dynamic face tracking with auto framing, with and without zoom. This is powered by a new physics engine, bringing face tracking which is smooth and cinematic, without the jerkiness or dizzying movements that other face tracking solutions introduce.
• Feature We've added native LUT support to Camo. These are cinematic filters which enable film-like treatments to your video. We've included a pack of 18 thoughtfully created presets.
• Feature To ensure it’s always providing perfectly smooth video Camo Studio now detects any situations where your camera fails to deliver at the requested frame rate, and will show a warning with suggestions on how to fix things.
• Feature We've added a beautiful new vignette overlay to the pack of built in overlays.
• Feature Centre stage controls, Camo Studio can now be used to toggle Centre Stage on the Studio Display, iPhones using Continuity Camera, and supported iPads.
• Improvement We've overhauled our macOS Shortcuts support, making it easier to control Camo Studio with Shortcuts and also added Shortcut controls for overlays as well as for all the new features in this release.
• Improvement We've re-worked our menu bar icon, to make it easier to tell if Camo's video is being used or if there is anything which needs your attention.

• ImprovementWe’ve reworked the wireless pairing process to make it clearer what to do if there’s a problem.
• Improvement Connecting your device wirelessly to Camo Studio is now more reliable. If you've been having trouble connecting via Wi-Fi, this'll help!

We’re excited to be launching Camo 1.9 today, which brings support for wireless connections to devices running both iOS and Android! Find out more about the release.

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

• Feature Connect your iOS or Android device to your computer via Wi-Fi. No more wires!

We're excited to be launching Camo 1.8 today which brings support for 60 fps video and adjustable frame rate controls, along with "Smart Zoom", video stabilisation, and improved colour and brightness adjustments.

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

• *Feature: Frame-rate controls have long been one of our most popular feature requests, and now they’re here! Camo now lets users choose from a range of frame-rates between 15 and 60 fps, making it easy for streamers to match their camera frame rate with the stream.
• Feature We've added Smart Zoom, which lets you take advantage of your iPhone's 4K sensors regardless of which resolution you're using. Camo now avoids using digital zoom wherever possible, and instead rely on a higher resolution source image from the camera’s sensor, mimicking lossless optical zoom. Smart Zoom can be enabled in Camo Studio’s Preferences dialog, under the General tab.
• Feature Virtual rotation gives you the ability to choose between landscape and portrait video without having to physically rotate your phone. This makes use of the "Smart Zoom" feature to ensure the video is perfectly crisp.
• Feature Camo's new image stabilisation functionality minimises the effect of vibrations and other disturbances on the image, great for desk mounted devices, wobbly mounts, or heavy-handed typists.
• Feature We've added a vibrancy control, which gives you a way to boost or dampen duller colours in a way that’s less heavy-handed and artificial than using the saturation control.
• Improvement The brightness control has now been completely re-worked to give you finer grained control and make you look less washed out when increasing brightness.
• Improvement It's now easier to remove the current overlay -- you can now disable an overlay simply by clicking on it.

• Fix We've fixed a bug which could lead to Camo Studio showing a warning when you select 1080p or 720p in portrait orientation.

Today’s release focuses on improving the experience using Camo Studio with an external microphone, particularly professional mono microphones. We’ve also improved compatibility with the latest beta of macOS Ventura, and fixed a bug involving overlays.

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

• Feature We’ve added an Audio Settings section to the left-hand side of Camo Studio. When using Camo Studio’s audio in your video app you can now choose to use audio from any microphone connected to your Mac, not just the audio from your phone. This means you can use Camo Studio to control your microphones and it’s now easier to choose the audio when making a local recording.
• Improvement Previously when making a local recording using a mono microphone there would only be audio in the left channel. You can now use the Advanced tab in Preferences to enable mono audio recording so that audio will be recorded in both channels.
• Improvement We’ve added an audio delay setting to Camo Studio to fix rare issues where audio and video are not in sync. This can be enabled using the Advanced tab in Preferences.
• Fix New users who are lucky enough to be running the beta of macOS Ventura will now be sent to the correct part of the new macOS Settings application when giving Camo Studio the permissions it needs to send video to other apps.

• Fix Ever spotted an item in Camo Studio’s menu called “Connection Suggestions” and wondered what it meant? Well, you’re not the only one, this has now been renamed to “Notifications”.

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

• Feature The new overlay editor is here! You can create customisable text, shapes, images, and colored overlays from a wealth of templates, or design your own from scratch without needing additional software. You can also switch between overlays easily with keyboard shortcuts, as well as seeing a preview of what your video will look like, and drag overlays in and out of Camo to share or import them.
• Improvement Camo Studio will now remember the window position and size from the last launch.
• Improvement We've made a change to the default Camo Studio preview setting, changing it to “Scale to fit” for clarity.
• Fix We've fixed a bug which meant that after waking your Mac from sleep Camo Studio would sometimes show video in fast forward for a few seconds.
• Fix We've fixed a minor bug on versions of macOS older than macOS 11 which led to some menu entries having the wrong name.

This update also enables all third-party apps that previously relied on Camo’s integrations to work natively. Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, and others now run great with Camo without modification.

This new compatibility requires functionality we’ve built on top of macOS 12.3. For users on older versions of macOS, the pre-existing integration system remains in place. You can read more about this update on our blog.

Today’s release also contains lots of UI love, fixes, and Swedish words.

We're thrilled to be shipping Camo Studio 1.2 today. It introduces a big new feature: high quality audio support. Camo Studio now lets you choose between the different microphones your iOS devices have, and to use them in stereo where supported by your device.

For this feature to appear in Camo Studio, an iOS app update is required. Apple have approved it for release, and it should appear for you in the App Store over the next few hours.

Today's update to Camo Studio is a minor update which includes a fix for users running macOS 10.14.

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

Camo 1.1 is just around the corner, and we can't wait to share it with you. Camo Studio for Windows is now in its fourth beta, and it looks — and works — great. If you're interested in trying it out, you can get on the list here.

• Fix We've completed our earlier work resolving problems affecting some users running macOS 10.14. Sorry for the inconvenience. We'd love to read how you get on with it.

We're really excited to be shipping Camo 1.0.8 today. This includes a number of optimisations, fixes, and a big new feature: presets. Camo Studio includes a set of stock presets for all users to try out and experiment with.

This version of Camo Studio requires the latest version of Camo from the App Store to work: don't update this until you've updated your iOS device. If you run into any problems, please reach out to us at support@reincubate.com. We'd love to help and hear from you.

In the meantime, our work towards 1.1 continues, and things are looking good. Camo Studio for Windows is currently in its third beta, and it looks — and works — great. If you're interested in trying it out, you can get on the list here.

• Feature Presets are now live. We'd love to hear how you get on with them. Email us or tweet us.
• Improvement We've added a number of nice optimisations to help Camo run faster and with even lower latency.
• Fix We've resolved an issue where the iPhone's camera wouldn't go back to continuous auto-focus.
• Fix We've fixed some fiddliness when changing lens position, etc.
• Fix We've improved Camo's compatibility with a number of recording apps, such as Final Cut Pro, QuickTime, and ScreenFlow.
• Fix We've resolved a bug whereby some settings where removed on pause, and not reapplied.
• Fix We've resolved a problem whereby some macOS 10.14 users would run into disconnect problems or experience memory leaks.

Life's been busy at Reincubate Towers as we work our way to the Camo 1.1 update. We've got a lot of neat things in the oven, waiting to come out. On that note, today marks the start of our private beta of Camo Studio for Windows. If you're interested in trying it out, you can get on the list here.

In the meantime, here's Camo Studio 1.0.7 for macOS, with more supported apps and a number of important quality of life fixes. 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've added compatibility notes for Loom and vMix, and added a solution for using Photo Booth.
• Improvement Although Camo Studio doesn't mention it in its compatibility section, this update includes a number of tweaks to work with Panopto, our new unofficial BFFs. 🤝 Panopto doesn't support changes in aspect ratio (ie. 16:9 to 4:3, or portrait to landscape), but short of that things should be looking good. Please let us know how you get on with it. Maybe we can make things official with a follow-up next week.
• Improvement Camo Studio's side-bar sections are now collapsible. You can collapse them to make room for something. What, though? I suppose you'll find out in a few updates' time.
• Improvement We changed a number of things behind the scenes which should come into play when we ship the next Camo update on iOS.
• Fix Camo wasn't working with recording to iMovie or Final Cut Pro. Now it does. Hurrah. 🎉
• Fix Some users reported audio latency when using Camo to record in QuickTime or ScreenFlow. We've resolved that. We've still got some bumps to smooth out here, but you should have a better experience now.
• Fix Our integration with Hand Mirror was broken in the last release. Sorry. We've fixed that now.
• Fix Our license dialog did some slightly unintuitive things which we've fixed.

We've been hard at work on Camo over the last few weeks, getting closer our major 1.1 update. In the meantime, we've prepared this update to make Camo Studio more intuitive, and to resolve a small number of issues. We've not forgotten about presets, either — we want to make sure we get them just right, and they're not. Yet.

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've added compatibility notes for another 8 apps: CloudApp, Pearl, Pexip, Hand Mirror, Wirecast, RingCentral, YouTube and Panopto. We support 7 of those 8: if you know anyone at Panopto, please drop them a note on our behalf. Compatibility notes have been updated for Camtasia, and for QuickTime on Big Sur.
• Improvement Camo Studio's "Help" button is now called "Help & Integrations". It looks a bit less flash, but it's easier to find!
• Improvement We note that some USB hubs can cause connection issues in Camo Studio's main screen. More here.
• Improvement It was only 6 versions ago we wrote that a competitor copied the ID we use for Camo Studio, preventing it from working whilst both were installed. It's happened again. The price of being popular, eh? We've updated our ID again.
• Fix We've resolved a problem where older devices running iOS 12 (particularly the iPhone 5s, iPad Mini 2, and iPad Air 1) could encounter half of the image being chopped off. This version of Camo Studio includes a fix for that, but you'll need an updated version of Camo on your iOS device. That version (1.0.6) will be made available to our beta testers today, and should go live to all users later this week assuming that beta goes well.
• Fix The "Help" link in the Camo Studio installation dialog didn't go to the right place. Sorry. We've fixed that.
• Fix We've resolved a bug in Camo Studio that could crash it in unusual cases.
• Fix We've fixed an even less common bug which could cause strange image corruption. We didn't have a single user report of this, so possibly we only managed to trigger it in the lab. 🤷‍♂️
