5/5No way it’s this good?
If you’re new to streaming, don’t have a camera but you have a phone with a HD camera, get this app NOW! It’s free and easy to use and when I say easy…I MEAN EASY. Download this app on your phone and PC, make sure both devices are on the same network, make sure the Bluetooth is enabled on both devices and with a click of a button you have a camera for streaming. I started streaming a week and some change ago from when I made this comment and haven’t had any problems since. I just recommend putting your phone on DND so no calls come in while you’re using it as a camera but that’s honestly just a personal suggestion. If you have a spare phone that isn’t your primary, even better. I use my primary phone as my camera and put it on DND so it doesn’t interrupt the camera. Highly recommend, a legit 5 out of 5 🙌🏼

5/5The only way I've *really* been able to use my iPhone as a webcam
There are a ton of apps that allow you to use your phone as a webcam: Epoc, Iriun, etc. and I've tried several. My issues with those were that the video was choppy, they were slow to connect, the lighting was bad, they didn't connect with Zoom, the desktop client was ugly or hard to wrangle and other frustrating things that ultimately left me to go back to my Macbook's built in camera. Then, I found this app. It actually works well, finally! The video is crisp, it connect via USB so the connection is instant and stable, the settings are straightforward and well-designed, it works flawlessly with Zoom and everything else I care about. Exactly what I was looking for

5/5Excellent Support
CAMO is an excellent product. However, there are problems getting it to function when the other software changes -- like TEAMS and Webex. Then you have to re-install. I'm not good at that. So, I have had to rely on the excellent support team at CAMO. That said, it takes time. A big improvement would be to eliminate the need for the user to jump through hoops everytime the world around CAMO changes. That said, the picture clarity is excellent, especially good in a confined space where a SLR cannot function. Also, iPhone requires different green screen lighting. TEAMS shows more bounce than Zoom. That's not CAMO's problem but could be a nice feature/benefit problem for them to solve. I use the product every day. So, I love it.

5/5Content creators need this app.
In addition to the many apps available for turning your smartphone into a webcam and using it with OBS, Zoom, or any other software, I was interested in finding an app that has no delay and creates a sort of depth of field effect to my videos. That's why I bought a 13 Pro Max iPhone recently. I tried my old iPhone XR with this app and got surprised when I saw the "Basic Portrait and Portrait Mods; I wish I had known about this before I purchased my new phone. I am not using other image adjustments in the app, as I am using the app in conjunction with OBS Studio and doing all my color grading and correction within OBS. This app is a must-have tool for those looking for that kind of usage, and it does not break the bank. I recommend it.

5/5Truly Fantastic!
I searched high and low for "the best" webcam when starting a new remote job this year. I have also tried many different brands over the years and simply never found one that excited me with the quality and features. Once started at my new job, they internally recommended Camo, which I had never heard of. I tried out the free version first and very quickly (and excitedly) paid for premium. I already had the best possible camera in my pocket, and now I could easily use it for all my web calls! The finetuning capabilities make this my absolute favorite option now, and I don't have to carry any additional cameras or cords when I travel, than the phone and cord I already have on every trip to begin with. Thanks for making such a great app, Camo Team!!!
