What's new.

Polish and reliability improvements for a smoother Webcam Works experience.

• More webcams keep their controls working. If a camera stops responding to a slider, Webcam Works gets it back instead of leaving the controls stuck.
• Record waits until your camera is really sending video, so a take never starts on a blank feed. If the microphone drops out mid-take, the video keeps recording.
• Leave Webcam Works in the background for a while and your camera is ready again the moment you come back.
• When macOS doesn't hand the Virtual Camera to your other apps, Webcam Works tells you what happened and walks you through fixing it, instead of leaving you waiting.
• Background removal keeps hair and edges looking their best without making the picture stutter.
• Small touches: the window always opens fully on screen, Open at Login now lives in the Webcam Works menu, and prompts wait until you're not on camera, recording, or in a Teleport session.

Meet the new Webcam Works Guide, clearer camera details, and more resilient controls.

• The Guide walks you through Camera, Image, Exposure, and Virtual Camera with contextual tips and steps that check themselves off as you work.
• A clearer Source → Workflow → Output → Capture layout makes Record, Presets, Virtual Camera, and Teleport easier to find.
• Camera Info now explains connection type, available capabilities, and hardware-reported controls, with tailored getting-started help for USB webcams, built-in cameras, and Continuity Camera.
• Improved reliability when macOS authorizes screen capture, a camera format is temporarily locked, devices report unusual exposure or power-line values, or you restore a purchase.

More reliable recording, flexible output resolutions, and broader webcam compatibility.

• Recording now handles camera changes, system sleep, microphone interruptions, and write failures more safely, with clear saved and recovered status.
• Choose the output resolution used by the Virtual Camera and recordings; format changes stay synchronized without stretching.
• More webcams keep usable controls even when their firmware reports unusual, out-of-range, or shortened UVC values.

Lighter on your Mac, friendlier to more webcams — and now fully accessible.

• The live preview uses a fraction of the CPU it used to, and almost none at all when it’s hidden.
• Full VoiceOver support, keyboard control for every slider and pad, and text that scales with your system text size.
• The system settings Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion, and Reduce Transparency are now respected.
• Wider webcam support: per-model HDR, Logitech C920 controls that stay put, and your settings restored after a reconnect.
• Continuity Camera survives sleep and wake, and two iPhones with the same name now both appear.
• Fill Light is now separate from video effects, the popped-out preview gets its own window, and text overlays no longer shrink as you type.

Faster, smoother, and more reliable on every USB webcam and modern Mac — with a little magic on top.

• Teleport: send a link, and a guest steps into your camera — live, from their phone or desktop.
• Share a window or your entire display in a polished, aspect-fitted picture-in-picture.
• New customizable Fill Light uses your display to light your face.
• Mirror your feed reliably in any meeting app.
• A redesigned workflow makes output, text and image overlays, safe areas, and recording easier to manage.
• Smoother camera switching, previews, screen sharing, recording, and Continuity Camera recovery.

• New Audio card: watch your mic level, adjust gain, mute, and switch inputs — pairs automatically with your webcam's microphone. Free for everyone.
• Mute your microphone from the menu-bar quick controls, the notch, or anywhere with ⇧⌘M.
• Fixed the popped-out preview turning black, plus a crash when resizing it.
• The trial reminder now includes Restore Purchases.
• System permission dialogs now appear in your language.

• The Virtual Camera now supports macOS 15.6 and later.
