3.5 hours on a Zoom call using Camo as my camera and my MacBook Air was giving me the “Your Mac will shut down soon” message.
I mean, I wasn’t too sad because it was a 3.5 hour Zoom call that I was obviously ready to leave, but still…
I assume Camo’s processing much chew a lot of CPU or something, because the MacBook was literally not doing anything else except running Zoom (I was using my iPad for everything else).
I’m not sure, probably the default which I think is 1080? Although zoom only uses 720 so I probably should have changed that.
This was the first time I’ve had need/opportunity to use my iPhone as my camera, so I tried Camo. I do have EpocCam and look forward to trying it out. Certainly a much less-expensive alternative.

I suspect that it’s your iPhone that’s draining your Mac. The iPhone camera tends to draw quite a bit of power in my experience and my understanding is that most (if not all) of Camo’s processing is performed on the iPhone and not the Mac.
