WhatsAppFREE
Call family or friends from your Mac with a real camera instead of the built-in one. Pick the Pocket as your camera in WhatsApp, then use Pocket+ to aim it, zoom in or let face tracking keep you in frame while you move around.
Set it up
- Connect the Pocket over USB-C and choose Webcam on the camera.
- In the WhatsApp app for Mac, pick the Pocket (for example OsmoPocket3) as the camera for video calls. For the camera's mic, pick its audio device too.
- Open Pocket+ next to the call. Both use the camera at the same time.
What shows up in WhatsApp
WhatsApp gets the camera's own picture and sound. Everything that physically moves the camera reaches it: joystick moves, face tracking, auto framing, scenes and the camera's zoom. Things Pocket+ does in software stay in Pocket+: LUTs, lens correction, guides and the cropped vertical picture. Colors can also look a little paler than in the Pocket+ preview.
Good to know
- Pocket+ isn't a virtual camera. Pick the Pocket itself in WhatsApp, not Pocket+.
- The camera sends one format at a time, so Pocket+ shows whatever resolution WhatsApp asks for.
- Shortcuts like ⌘T or ⌥1 work while Pocket+ is the active app. Keep its window visible next to the call; it stays on top by default.
Using the Pocket in WhatsApp doesn't need Pro. Each Pocket+ feature keeps its own Free or Pro status.
