NOW THE CAMO ‘USE YOUR PHONE AS A WEBCAM’ APP WORKS OVER WI-FI

Camo’s new version 1.9 update can turn your smartphone into an untethered webcam. The camera utility software, one of the earliest around to convert iOS or Android devices into a computer webcam, can now connect via Wi-Fi in addition to the previous USB plug-in requirement. It’s a great time for Camo to release this update as Apple’s macOS Ventura prepares to launch with its own Continuity Camera feature that can turn iPhones into a webcam. It’s still in demand as a solution for work-from-home setups, as the return to the office has turned into more of a hybrid schedule for many of us. Apple’s implementation involves little setup and can mount to the top of a MacBook with a specialty mount like this Belkin one, enabling special features like swapping to the ultra-wide camera for a top-down view. To get the new feature, you’ll need to update both the Camo Studio on your computer and the Camo app on your smartphone. Once updated, you can bring up a QR code in the Camo Studio software and scan it with the Camo smartphone app and your smartphone is connected to your computer as a webcam.
