GoPro as Webcam? How?

How to Use GoPro Hero7 Black as a Webcam on a Mac?

Here’s how I use my GoPro as a webcam.

1. Connect the GoPro micro-HDMI out port to a USB HDMI Capture Device HDMI input.
2. Connect the USB HDMI Capture Device USB output to the Computer USB port.
3. On the computer webcam application, select the Capture Device camera input.

Here are the settings required in the GoPro to make the video quality better.

• Turn off stabilization
• Turn on low light performance.
• Switch HDMI to live.

Here are the items required. Click the link to get the items.

1. Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable
2. USB HDMI Capture Device
3. USB to USB cable (not required if you use the Elgato)

Does it work on all GoPros?

• This method works for GoPro Hero5 Black, GoPro Hero6 Black, and GoPro Hero7 Black.
• The Hero8 does not have the HDMI output. An extra unit is required called the Media Mod.
• This method does NOT work for non-“Black” versions.

Side Note:

• Hero5 and Hero6 have better light sensitivity in a dimmer environment than the newer Hero7. Sad, but it’s true.
