Camo is a webcam app for video streaming, recording and conferencing. It enables phones and other mobile devices to be used as webcams and document cameras.[1][2]

Camo was developed by British software company Reincubate. The app runs on macOS and Microsoft Windows PCs and is compatible with iOS and Android phones.[3][4]

The app comes in a free and Pro version. The free version uses the mobile device’s main camera.[5][6] The Pro version accesses all cameras on mobile devices.[4]

Using Camo requires downloading an app to the mobile device and a counterpart app, Camo Studio, to the computer to support both power and data transfer.[4][7][1]

Camo integrates with video collaboration services and with streaming and broadcasting apps.
