    The new MacBook Air series (13 and 15 inch) is advertised to have Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum microphone modes and Enhanced voice clarity in video calls.

    UVC Webcam support and iPadOS17: Onslaught of 'paid' apps.

    Anyone have any free options that actually have open invitations or that I can check out right now? The ones I have seen reported on end up being paid options.

    MBA M2 Webcam Quality

    Hi all, looking for some advice/guidance/second opinion. I've just bought the new MBA M2 13.6 which as you all know comes with a 1080p webcam. I've used the Facetime App and Google Meet to see the quality of the camera and it looks shocking awful, the best way to describe it would be like a...

    iPad Ipad + webcam

    Is it possible to use a Logitech webcam with an iPad ? I know that an adapter is required lighting to USB. The purpose is not for video calls. But rather as a larger display of a weight scale. Pointing the webcam at the beam of the scale would make it easier to view = magnification. I know that...

    Best Mac Webcam App right now?

    I‘m after something that will work with a Logitech c920 I actually bought for corporate Dell. Anyway, I like the positioning above my external monitor... Doesn’t need to do much. Main thing would be horizontal flip - anything else would be icing. Apps like Google Meet and Teams seem to do...

    Is there a way to disable one webcam, but not the other?

    I have a Studio Display which I plug into my Macbook Pro. When the display is connected, I want apps to use the Studio Display webcam and not the Macbook webcam. Unfortunately, some apps do not have an option to choose which webcam you use, and default to the Macbook webcam. Facebook Messenger...

    Mac M1 with Sony Imaging Edge Webcam

    I would like to use my Sony Alpha 6300 as a webcam for video calls with my MB Air M1. For this, Sony provides the Imaging Edge Webcam driver. As far as I know the software wasn't available for Apple Silicon for a long time, however, it seems as if it now supports macOS 12. I successfully...

    How to record 4K to Mac?

    I have a Logitech Brio 4K webcam and I like to record videos with it. It records in 1080p just fine with the QuickTime app but won't record in 4K. OBS Studio records in 4K, but it drops tons of frames, even the new Apple Silicon beta version. Camtasia will record in 4K and it does an OK job...

    ASD - Exposure changes when disabling Center Stage

    Wanted to see if anyone else can reproduce what I'm seeing. I am not running the beta firmware. Open FaceTime, then toggle Center Stage on and off. With CS on, I get a washed out, over exposed image. With CS off, the exposure is improved. Anyone else seeing this? I get the change in...

    How do you feel about the webcam on Studio Display?

    Genuinely curious what all of the new owners of the Studio Display think of the webcam quality after all of the chatter during the review window. After a few days use, I personally think it’s a confounding miss when it came to the priorities they were designing towards for the webcam on the...

    Bring iSight Back

    For those too young to remember, Apple once made a webcam called iSight. Samsung's new M8 monitors have a magnetically attachable webcam. Dell at CES 2022 announced a magnetic wireless camera that can be detached and placed anywhere. It has an internal battery and the dock on top of the...

If you're working in office or perhaps at your home office, aside from the built-in webcams on the M1 Laptops, which web camera or video conferencing devices are you using? Which one would you recommend? I'm looking for some 4K alternatives, but Logitech seems to...

    Webcam Upgrade suggestions for 2019 27" iMac?

    So I have a 2019 iMac Retina 5l 3 GHz 6-Core Intel I5. I love it. I'm a musician and do pretty heavy duty production via Logic and the iMac has handled it with aplomb. So far. However, I've decided to delve into the video side of things, for starters recording myself while I play guitar etc...

    Mac Mini M1 and Logitech C920 HD Pro webcam

    Hi I just ordered a Mac Mini M1 (Late 2020) and the Logitech C920 HD Pro webcam. I still did not received them but I read online that there are some issues with the Logitech C920 HD Pro software. Actually, I don't need the software, for me it's important that once plugged, the webcam works...

    I know you can use QuickTime to record the screen, and I do have Final cut and you can record yourself on that as well. However, is there a way to do both, screen and face with a single app?

    MP 1,1-5,1 Webcam issue on 5,1 after running patcher

    The external webcam on my 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 is not working at the moment. Just displays black. It's a long story, but I'll try to be as brief as possible. As you know, in order to upgrade to Mojave on this unsupported Mac, you need to run a patcher. I went through the process and installed...

    Hello! In a dark room, in low light conditions, can you still see white dots in the image of the camera? If you cover the webcam in low light conditions, you can see. These are constant points that I noticed in poor lighting conditions. Please take a look. Thanks.
