Virtual camera for macOS
React live on
any camera.
CameraPal drops animated emoji and text reactions onto your video — in Zoom, Meet, Photo Booth, anywhere. Fire them from the app or a keyboard shortcut, live.
Everything you need to react.
Works in every app
CameraPal shows up as a camera in Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, OBS and more. Select it once and you’re on.
Animated reactions
Fade, pop, slide, shake. Design your own overlays with a live preview and fire them the instant the moment hits.
Triggered your way
Tap a reaction in the app, or wire it to a macOS Shortcut and set it off with a single keystroke.
Always ready
A lightweight camera extension does the work, so your reactions keep flowing even when the app window is closed.
Up and running in a minute.
