During the Coronavirus pandemic, you may not be using the outdoor cameras of GoPro, so GoPro makes it a lot easier for you to recycle your Hero 8 flagship camera as a macOS webcam for indoor use. GoPro says Windows support is being developed.
With the new beta software, Hero 8 the be transformed into a webcam, for usage on Zoom, Microsoft teams and other video conference services, that connects to your computer using the USB. Hero 8, however, is not popular for its high quality photography compared to DSLR cameras, although the low image quality in most laptop webcams is definitely better alternative.
Video conference devices and webcams were used by those who worked from home and worked throughout the pandemic. The pandemic has led to a higher demand for webcams, which has contributed to widespread shortages. Several camera makers, like Fujifilm and Canon, have released software to allow their cameras to be rehabilitated into websites through their brands.
