You can use your Olympus camera as a Webcam on the Mac

Omd Olympus Webcam on Mac

I don't know if you know or have heard of it, but we continue with the global pandemic and it is more than likely that we will have to continue teleworking for a few more months. During the last months, numerous programs have been updated to be compatible with virtual meetings. They make it easier for us to have the agenda and follow the connection links. But on many occasions the meetings are ruined because our Mac still lives in 2006 with a 720p Wevcam. If you have an Olympus OMD, now you can use its mirrorless sensor for this purpose.

Just as the software companies are putting the batteries to make their programs more compatible with teleworking and help the user as much as possible, many video camera companies are doing the same. Canyon, GoPro, Sony and now it's Olympus' turn. He has launched a program in beta phase so you can connect any of these models, E-M1X, E-M1, E-M1 Mark II, E-M1 Mark III, and E-M5 Mark II to the Mac and use its 20 Mpx sensor with the TruePic image processor .

The only thing you have to do is download the necessary software and see that you meet the other requirements, very easy by the way. Just have a Mac with macOS 10.15 (Catalina), 10.14 (Mojave), 10.13 (High Sierra), or 10.12 (Sierra) installed. Follow the instructions from the official page to install the program and necessary settings on the camera so that it can function as a Webcam.

Surely from that moment on, no one else will complain that you look bad or pixelated. Also when using a mirrorless camera, weight and size is not a problem and the versatility that gives you the power to use different lenses, no other webcam on the market has it.
