Why use your phone as a webcam?
On calls, videos and live streams, a good camera will set you apart. Most people use a terrible laptop webcam!
Better video can make people take you more seriously.
And you can place your phone exactly where you want it and take full control of the picture.
Is it easy to set up?
The simplest way to use Shoot is to download the webcam driver for mac.
But the real power of Shoot is its flexibility and control. You can connect over USB, HDMI, AirPlay or NDI, integrating with Ecamm Live, OBS or other desktop streaming software, on Mac or PC.
With so many options, help is at hand!
Basic features
Adjust everything
Getting the perfect picture requires control.
Shoot lets you control every setting you'll need.
Select different cameras, set your exposure, white balance, focus and shutter speed for the perfect picture.
Resurrect old devices
Shoot works on iOS 12, letting you use your 2013 iPhone 6!
This can give an old phone a second lease of life, even if it has a broken screen.
This is great for multi-camera set-ups where you might want another angle or two.
Remote Control
Web browser interface
Shoot connects in real-time to squares.tv, allowing you to control your camera from any web browser.
So when you're phone's out of reach you can still adjust your picture to perfection.
Use your Watch
You don't need to fire up a web browser if you have your watch on.
You can control all the same settings from your wrist.
Telestrator
Draw on anything
This is where things really get interesting.
Shoot lets you draw directly on your camera feed.
Now your iPhone or iPad isn't just a webcam, it's a telestrator.
Live Titles
Live Titles let you add text to Shoot's telestrator.
Just draw a line where you want the text to appear and speak.
This feature was invented for Shoot but it's in Video Pencil too.
Teleprompter
Read your script
If you have a script, a teleprompter saves you learning it off by heart.
Shoot works with your Mac to give you a teleprompter built right into your phone.
Pro Essentials
