    Photo Booth alternative for timed webcam snaps

    Hi. Sometimes for reference pictures to draw from, I take photos of myself, usually hands and feet, face, head, but sometimes I need to take a pose from further away. I've been clumsily using the photo booth app on my iMac. I get into position in front of the cam, try to remember where I need...

    External Webcam stopped working (Zoom, QT, etc.)

    I've been using an old USB camera (ZOOM Q4) as a webcam with my MacBook Pro 2019 16" (it's positioned above my external monitor since my Mac is low and off-center on my desk). Didn't need drivers (other than for the audio) and the system recognized it when it was plugged in. I've been using it...

    Which webcam for Mac Pro with existing studio mic?

    I have an old Mac Pro 2009 upgraded to use Sierra. My iSight seems to have video only - no sound. So looks like I need another solution for Zoom sessions. I already have a studio mic plugged into an Audient interface and it would be nice to keep that. So what do I do about the video? Can I use 2...
