# ARCHIVED

This project is not under development anymore. If you want to control your Microsoft LiveCam Studio on macOS Catalina, the [tool Webcam Settings](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/webcam-settings/id533696630) seems to be a working alternative according to [Olivier Lacan on this blog post](https://olivierlacan.com/posts/in-sight/) and [#23](https://github.com/HBehrens/CamHolderApp/issues/23).

# CamHolderApp [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/HBehrens/CamHolderApp.png)](https://travis-ci.org/HBehrens/CamHolderApp)

A feature-rich Mac software to present live input from one or more Microsoft LifeCam Studio as software for http://CamHolder.org

# Features

This software accompanies the physical CamHolder you can find at http://CamHolder.org and runs on Mac OSX 10.6+. It connects to one or more USB WebCams of the type "Microsoft LifeCam Studio" and offers several features such as

- zooming and rotation,
- fullscreen and snap to center (for screencasting),
- manual exposure time and focus,
- borderless and resizable windows,
- comfortable keyboard short cuts,

that make presenting and screencasting with the CamHolder a snap.

# License

Even though this software is open-source you must neither sell the compiled binary nor build any commercial software on top of its code without significant changes (see file LICENSE).
