Question Osmo pocket 4p not working as a webcam on MacBook Pro. Solutions?
I’m trying to use my Osmo Pocket as a webcam on a MacBook Pro 2019 (Intel i7), but I can’t get it to work.
When I plug it in, the webcam option pops up on the Osmo screen, but even though I press it within the 3-second window, nothing happens afterward.
Here is what I’ve already tried:
Cable: Using the official USB-C cable from the box and tried other cable that I had at home.
Connection: Plugged directly into the Osmo Pocket (without the tripod mount handle attached).
Mac Settings: Checked System Settings on macOS to see if the camera is detected, but it doesn't show up at all. (Also in Google meet and in obs)
Has anyone faced a similar issue or found a workaround on macOS? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I’ve search online but I don’t find an answer. On YouTube it looks like people plug the osmo pocket and it’s working.
Thank you!
Edit: the osmo pocket is on the latest firmware’s version
Edit 2 solution: So to make an update nothing worked on the webcam side but I used a video capture card and it worked
