macOS menu-bar app · works in Zoom, Meet, Slack, Teams

Step away.
Stay on camera.

Record a few seconds of yourself, then loop it through a virtual camera. Grab a coffee, rest your eyes, answer the door — while you look perfectly present. Your real mic never stops.

macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Universal — Apple Silicon & Intel · Notarized by Apple

Free forever for the basics. Pro $4.99/mo for hotkeys, unlimited clips & the believable covers. Coming soon to Setapp.

Drops into the calls you already take
How it works

Three steps. Then disappear at will.

01

Record a moment

Capture a few seconds of you looking present — nodding, listening, at your desk.

02

Pick CamLoop in your call

Choose “CamLoop” as your camera in Zoom, Meet, Slack, or Teams. One time.

03

Tap to step away

Hit a hotkey and the loop takes over. Tap again to return live. Your mic passes through the whole time.

Features

Built for speed and for not getting caught.

Two things matter when you step away mid-meeting: doing it fast, and doing it so it reads as you — not as a frozen app.

Instant

Disappear in a single keystroke.

One global hotkey flips between your live camera and a looped clip — no menus, no fumbling, even with CamLoop in the background. A second tap brings you right back.

  • Step away, return, record, and mute hotkeys
  • Fully customizable shortcuts
  • A quiet toast confirms every switch

The believable cover

A loop that looks like a bad connection — not a glitch.

“Simulated lag” plays your clip with random freezes, micro-stutters, and a catch-up jump, generated live so it never repeats. It scales to the clip length, and you choose exactly which artifacts to use. Nobody questions a laggy webcam.

  • Freeze · stutter · catch-up — mix and match
  • Never loops the same way twice
  • Tunes itself to your clip’s length
freeze · stutter · catch-up
Effortless

Record a believable you in seconds.

Hit record, sit naturally for a few seconds, and stop. CamLoop captures a clean clip and a ghost of the first frame helps you line up so the loop starts without a jump.

  • Ghost-frame alignment as you record
  • Camera warm-up so the first frame is never dark
  • Import an existing video instead

Private by design

Your clips stay on your Mac. Your mic stays on.

CamLoop never uploads your video and never records or routes audio. Clips live in a local folder on your machine; the camera loops while you keep talking. Optional, anonymous diagnostics can be turned off in one click.

  • Video stored locally — never uploaded
  • Microphone passes straight through, untouched
  • Opt-out crash & usage reporting

Seamless ping-pong loops

Plays forward then reverse, so the loop never has a visible seam — for any pose.

AI morph & alignment

On-device frame morphing and a pose-alignment studio for a flawless, invisible cut.

Know you’re covered

A glance at the menu-bar icon tells you live vs. looping, and a toast confirms every switch.

Camera warm-up

Spins the camera up before you go live so your first frame is sharp, not a black box.

Import & export

Bring in an existing video, or export a clip to reuse it across machines.

📌

Pin your favorites

Keep a go-to clip at the top of the list so it’s one tap away in any meeting.

Questions

The things everyone asks first.

Yes. CamLoop only loops your camera — your microphone passes straight through, untouched. You can keep talking the whole time, or mute yourself like normal.

Any macOS app with a camera picker. CamLoop appears as a virtual camera called “CamLoop,” so Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime, OBS and others can all select it.

No. Your clips are stored in a local folder on your Mac and never leave it. CamLoop doesn’t record or route audio either. Optional, anonymous diagnostics help us fix crashes and can be switched off in Settings. See the privacy policy.

Tap the same hotkey again, or click “Switch back to live camera” in the menu. You return to your real feed instantly — no need to touch your meeting app.

Today you can buy direct for $4.99/mo and get auto-updates straight from us. CamLoop is also coming to Setapp, where it’ll be included in your subscription alongside 240+ other Mac apps — handy if that’s how you already pay for software. Both give you the full Pro experience.

The free tier is yours forever, no card required. Pro starts with a 7-day trial with no card, and you can cancel the subscription anytime — checkout and billing are handled securely by Polar.

Take the meeting.
Keep the moment to yourself.

Download CamLoop, record one short clip, and you’ll never be trapped in front of the camera again.
