  • Camo Studio now works with all cameras! You can now use Camo Studio with any camera you can connect to your Mac, including built-in cameras, webcams, DSLRs or mirrorless cameras, action cams, and iPhones connected with Continuity Camera.
  • Portrait mode has been overhauled on iOS and is also now available for all cameras. It can also now be used in combination with AR modes.
  • Spotlight mode ensures you stand out in your shot, brightening you up against the background.
  • Privacy blur lets you hide what’s in shot behind you, removing the need for jarring video-conferencing background removal.
  • Replace mode enables you to substitute your background scene with a replacement backdrop or a virtual greenscreen.
  • Dynamic face tracking with auto framing, with and without zoom. This is powered by a new physics engine, bringing face tracking which is smooth and cinematic, without the jerkiness or dizzying movements that other face tracking solutions introduce.
  • We've added native LUT support to Camo. These are cinematic filters which enable film-like treatments to your video. We've included a pack of 18 thoughtfully created presets.
  • To ensure it’s always providing perfectly smooth video Camo Studio now detects any situations where your camera fails to deliver at the requested frame rate, and will show a warning with suggestions on how to fix things.
  • We've added a beautiful new vignette overlay to the pack of built in overlays.
  • Centre stage controls, Camo Studio can now be used to toggle Centre Stage on the Studio Display, iPhones using Continuity Camera, and supported iPads.
