In that video I cover install, configuration, Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, OBS, Facebook, QuickTime, and more! The Quick and Dirty: Simply press the play button below for the complete run-through! You can now get that wide-angle shot you always needed to ensure you most definitely accidentally capture your roommate/partner/child in the far corner of your room doing something unsaid, on your next work conference call. In short, the solution was wasn’t ideal for today’s global situation (nor really, ideal for any point in the last decade when people just wanted it as a darn webcam).įear not, today changes that. Now, you could with a smartphone stream a GoPro live to the interwebs for apps like Facebook Live or YouTube, but not for usage within apps like Zoom or other conference apps. And even then, up to the Hero 7 that was limited to 720p, and with the Hero 8 that port required you also buy a GoPro Media Mod. The only way you could get video from a GoPro to a computer live was via HDMI cable, but that’s only if you’re computer had an HDMI capture card (which, it almost certainly didn’t). Up until now, the GoPro hasn’t actually been capable of enumerating as a USB webcam. So, if you wanted to livestream/Zoom your next Zwift session or such with friends and get the full bike in there – this is much easier. However, you can always just head over to the direct install links and not join the Facebook page at all.Today GoPro has launched a beta feature for the Hero 8 Black that allows you to use it as a tethered USB webcam for apps like Zoom, Teams, Twitch, and basically any other app that can use a USB webcam (which, is basically any video conferencing app). Or at least that’s what GoPro’s guide says. Do keep in mind that downloading the GoPro Webcam Beta app requires you to join a Facebook page. Once you’ve done that, you can connect your camera to your PC and start using it as a webcam. You will also need to download the GoPro Webcam Beta app. In order to use your GoPro Hero 8 as a webcam, you will first need to update your camera to v2.0. That list pretty much covers most software that people use for video calling, other than Skype. As of right now, you can use your GoPro Hero 8 as a webcam for calls on Zoom, Cisco Webex, Slack, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Discord. Still, the software is already compatible with most of the popular video calling services. Meanwhile, the Windows version is now in beta. While the Mac version was in beta all these months, it’s now entering a stable version. The company had earlier launched the feature for Mac users back in July. Now, GoPro has announced that Windows PC users can now use their GoPro Hero 8 action cameras as webcams on their devices.
