## What is NeuralCam Live?

Look your best on video calls and live streams! NeuralCam Live turns your iPhone into an AI powered webcam that professionally edits your live video stream, blurs embarrassing gestures and more. 

"NeuralCam Live is by far one of the best and easiest ways to use your iPad or iPhone as a webcam. The video quality is great, plus you get a few filters to spruce things up." - WIRED

NeuralCam Live works with Zoom, Meet, Teams, OBS and most other video call and streaming software & browsers on your Mac.

NeuralCam Live first turns the iPhone into a webcam similar to other webcam apps, BUT then it uses proprietary AI technology to provide some completely new and unique Smart Webcam features. These create a whole new video call or streaming experience: 

FACE IMAGE QUALITY METER
Detects the amount of face lighting, type of face position and background and displays an overall Face Image Quality score. It helps you set up an optimal video call environment and avoid making typical mistakes, such as sitting with your back towards a bright window or filming yourself from an unfavorable low angle.

PRO-LOOKING VIDEO STYES
Our AI power Style Engine edits the video feed like a professional colorist would, in a range of different styles. The end-result is a more impactful look, allowing you to choose the style that best fits your mood, the type of call or the environment you're in.

GESTURE GUARD
Detects and blurs different types of gestures that don't have their place in a video call. 
It detects face touches (scratching face, picking nose, yawning, etc.) and nudity. Don’t get caught off-guard like in those viral Zoom videos. 

LOW LIGHT MODE (PLUS SUBSCRIPTION)
Brightens up your video with a similar (though a lot more lightweight) technique used in our NightMode photo app. It allows you to look good in video calls even in low light settings, a gentle light from your monitor is usually enough to provide a nice video feed. And just in case you need to light up things even more, you can use the face-following 

RING LIGHT
Creates a face-following ring light out of the screen of your iPhone which allows you to make video calls even in pitch dark rooms. 

HEAD-BUBBLE MODE
It’s a more interesting way to hide your background. We think current background segmentation (“green screen”) used by most video call apps looks bad, really bad. Using face tracking, we put you in a "head bubble" and hide everything around it. It hides a cluttered background or your 3 year old storming into the room.

SETUP
1. Download the app on your iPhone
2. Connect the app to your Mac using a USB cable
3. Open the app on your iPhone and go through the Setup:
- Allow access for the app to use your iPhone camera
- Airdrop the NeuralCam Live Plugin to your Mac (alternatively, email a download link to your email)
- Install the NeuralCam Live Plugin
- Access https://neural.cam/check or open up your favorite video call app to connect the app for the first time
4. That's it! Choose the style of your liking and enjoy looking amazing in video calls & streams!

### 1/5 — Riverside

*2021-08-12, version 1.3*

Does this work in the riverside app?

### 5/5 — thank

*2021-07-26, version 1.3*

hello there

### 5/5 — THE BEST!

*2021-05-07, version 1.3*

Remember to restart Zoom on your computer once you connect your phone. No issues with Zoom! Works perfectly with iOS14 and my MacBook Pro (Intel, not M1). The driver was quick and easy to install as well.

### 1/5 — Mac doesn’t recognize Camera

*2021-04-30, version 1.3*

Tried to get this app working several times with zero luck. It just doesn’t recognize on the Mac whatsoever. I’ve tried everything it’s hopeless.

### 4/5 — Seems to work well so far

*2021-02-27, version 1.2.1*

This works better than EpocCam but I haven’t used it much yet. Will update once I do.

### 5/5 — Rock solid

*2021-02-13, version 1.2.1*

I use this as my main webcam for about ~7 hours of Google Meet meetings a day. I have an iPhone 11 Pro semi permanently mounted above my monitor plugged in through a Thunderbolt dock. I usually turn the phone off at the end of the day and then unlock it again the next morning. I’m extremely happy with the video quality. Last year’s iPhone camera is simply much better than any webcam. I don’t use any of the filters or effects. 

Wishlist for the developer:
 - I use the back camera on my phone which means the screen and the UI are facing away from me. This makes it too easy to smash buttons on the screen that I didn’t intend to while adjusting the phone or putting it back in the mind. Gesture guard seems pointless, but if you accidentally turn it on and are using a virtual background, you’ll just randomly disappear from the screen in the middle of your meeting. Same with the filters, way too easy to accidentally turn on and then have a weird skin tone for your entire meeting. 
- Ability to dim the screen automatically. It’s facing away from me and not doing anything.

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work

*2021-02-06, version 1.2.1*

Using Mac mini with big sur. doesn’t connect over usb. Opened support article and it says ‘try unplugging and plugging back in’ useless waste of time.

### 2/5 — Not consistent

*2021-01-08, version 1.2.1*

When it works.m, it works great. But it is not consistent. If you are planning to use this regularly, I recommend not using this app as it will be more frustrating to try and set up

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-12-20, version 1.2.1*

This is taking forever to set up and it’s still not working it’s just annoying

### 1/5 — Didn’t work more often than it did.

*2020-12-17, version 1.2.1*

I tried it with zoom many times, always had my app updated, always had zoom updated, always had it connected with a usb from my iPhone to my Mac. Pretty frustrated.
