Camo Studio vs Webcamoid

Camo Studio uses cameras you already own as video sources for meetings, streaming and recording. Supported sources include phones, built-in cameras, webcams, DSLRs, action cameras and Continuity Camera connected to a computer. Image controls include background softening or replacement, lighting correction, LUTs, framing and AI-powered image analysis. The scene editor can combine text, logos and overlays, or users can choose default scenes. Camo works as a virtual camera in over 40 apps, including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Discord and OBS. Camo Studio runs on macOS 12.3 or later and Windows 10 or later; Camo Camera requires iOS 15 or later or Android 7.0 or later. The free plan supports up to 720p, while Pro supports resolutions up to and including 4K. Camo says audio and video processing happens in device memory and that this media does not leave the device. Its privacy information says device metadata may be sent, and optional features may process necessary face or object data on-device. Some features are marked as coming soon on Android or Windows.
