• Android 14 adds support for using your smartphone as a webcam

  I've been using the Camo app for over a year. Works excellent. Even supports viewing the camera over wifi. No cable necessary. It is free for a basic account. Find it here: https://reincubate.com/camo/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Use iOS Teams for camera only while using desktop Teams for voice and everything else.

  Maybe try Reincubate Camo, a software to use the iPhone as camera which is independent of Apple's continuity. I used it on windows when working at home in 2020 and 2021 during pandemic, and it had quite good video quality superior to built in cam of my laptop. They have it also for MacOS. Maybe it's compatible with your MacBook Pro. Source: 12 months ago

• Hey team, I am STRUGGLING to find a webcam for my m2 mini

• DIY IR tracking webcam?

  You can use Star Citizen's built in FOIP: all you need is a basic webcam or even an old smart phone. If you have a spare android phone lying around, Droidcam will work. If you have a spare iPhone lying around, reincubate camo studio will work. Source: about 1 year ago

  I resisted getting a dedicated webcam for the longest time and always used my laptop's camera for calls and stuff. It worked well for some time, but the quality of a 720p built-in webcam sucks. So I put on my ‘grown-up man’ pants and bought a webcam. I got the Logitech Streamcam and have been very happy with it. It’s a 1080p camera (unlike most which are 720p) that connects via USB-C and has outstanding image... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Webcam + Microphone recommendation for a Home office?

  If you don’t have an iPhone to use with Continuity, and are willing to upgrade the rest of your office to match, then perhaps I will recommend Opal : https://opalcamera.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• My Experience With the Opal C1 Webcam

  Back in May 2022, I finally got my invite to order the long-awaited Opal C1 webcam. I was waiting for something to replace my Logitech Brio 4K, thinking I would get better image quality. However, after unboxing the camera, plugging it in and installing the required software, and experimenting with it, my enthusiasm vanished. After months of experimenting with an experimental product, here are my observations and... Source: over 1 year ago

• Webcam recommendations … please?

  How soon do you need it a webcam? The Opal C1 is a very nice camera, but the wait list is long; you could run Camo to use your phone as an camera or wait for the Continuity Camera updates in Ventura to use an iPhone. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why Webcams Aren't Good Enough

  I have the Opal C1. It's trying to be better than a normal webcam. I'm not in love with it but might work for you: https://opalcamera.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
