I'll put Reincubate Camo here as an option too - turns your iPhone in to a webcam.
I was so impressed I bought a used iPhone to use solely as a webcam; the whole setup was cheaper than the Logitech C920 he mentions.
The picture quality is great.
- olah_1 4y agoDon't iPhones do that annoying thing where it shows your image flipped the wrong way when you use the selfie camera? Selfie cameras should always behave like a mirror, in my opinion. It's how humans are used to seeing themselves.

- cr3ative 4y agoThere's an option to flip the image, you can have it either way.
- bydo 4y agoI forget if that's the default or not, but if it is you can disable it. You ideally wouldn't use the selfie camera, though; the rear camera has a bigger sensor and a better lens.
- ldayley 4y agoZoom and I think Teams and OBS have a setting to flip the video input.
- pineconewarrior 4y agoSeconding Camo. It's not as cheap as the Elgato offering but I found the quality and options to be superior.
- EveYoung 4y agoDoes this work with the Teams client on MacOS without having to disable code signing?
- minimaxir 4y agoWith the latest update on macOS 12.3, it should work with any camera-using app as it uses the native macOS APIs.
- cruano 4y agoI repurposed my old 6s and I gotta say the quality is excellent. And the free version of the software has more than enough for most people, so this could very well be a completely free upgrade for someone. I do have a lifetime license, and have tested it with my 12 pro and while it obviously looks better, most of the time I stay with the 6s and default settings since I can just leave it mounted on top of my monitor.
- hammock 4y agoCan you use portrait mode?
- ldayley 4y agoCamo does support portrait mode, but I think it’s a paid feature included with the “Pro” version on iOS.
- tillcarlos 4y agoAfter failing with an EOS M50, a HDMI capture card, and the USB EOS connector I gave up on the DSLR idea and went to camo with my iPhone13 Pro. It’s waay better. I only use default settings. Quality trumps anything I tried before. Added bonus: I cannot use the phone when in a call. https://youtu.be/U4j88uwoKZw https://youtu.be/U4j88uwoKZw
- rkeene2 4y agoThis looks neat. It seems like it requires you to install software on the system, which is often (usually?) not an option. Is there anything like this that shows up as a webcam without additional software that doesn't come with the OS (i.e., uses a driver already available on Windows, Linux, ChromeOS like most webcams such as the Logitech C920 do) ?
- gernb 4y agowhat stand/mount do you use and where is it on your setup? (right now I have crappy logitech hanging on to top of monitor)
- fakename 4y agoI use a flat piece of cardboard, folded with slots cut for the phone on top, and the monitor on bottom. https://imgur.com/a/InImQFo https://imgur.com/a/InImQFo I just switched from an old apple cinema display to a modern monitor with small bezels, so I need to cut a new one to stop it from blocking the top of my screen.
- caiusdurling 4y agoI've got a lego stand built from a few bricks holding an iPhone 7 in landscape above my screen. The lens is maybe 18mm above the top of the display pixels.
- nicwolff 4y agoThese $10 selfie sticks with handles that open into a stand are actually great and much more compact and portable when closed than even a small tripod https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09B6QHZK5 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09B6QHZK5
- straws 4y agoIf you have one of the newer magsafe iPhones, you can attach one of these to the wall (front camera) or the back of your monitor (back cameras): https://www.shopmoment.com/products/wall-mount-for-magsafe/standard https://www.shopmoment.com/products/wall-mount-for-magsafe/s...
- EricE 4y agoI use this: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=602507 https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=602507 Changed out the mount to work with my USB webcam and it works a treat. Obviously it won't work with a heavy mirrorless camera - but there are tons of mini tripods out there - the Joby Gorillapod's and their numerous clones are among my favorites due to their flexibility.
- fakename 4y agocamo is great. I was doing what the OP outlines at the beginning of the pandemic with an a6000 and a $10 ebay hdmi capture card. It looked 10% better than camo for 100% more effort.
- antomeie 4y agoShameless plug here, but I want to mention the free alternative https://webcamplus.app https://webcamplus.app for Mac/iOS. (It is a personal project of mine).
