Your fancy GoPro action camera is probably lying around in a corner at home, as the coronavirus pandemic has made us all stay indoors to contain the spread. While brands like Canon and Panasonic have released software that lets you use your camera as a webcam, GoPro is finally following the suit.
When you successfully connect the camera, you will see a blue dot in the status bar. You can now preview the camera output by clicking on the ‘Show Preview’ option. The company lets you choose between “Mirror” and “Flip” as your preferred view.
You can also technically use your GoPro HERO7 Black, HERO6 Black, HERO5 Black, or HERO4 Black as webcams. However, that requires at least one third party accessory and it won’t work with this method.
