If you have a Hero 7 Black or newer you don’t have to spend any money to get this working. I’ll be using an older Hero 5 Black, a brand new Hero 9 Black and last year’s Hero 8 Black and I’ll compare the various methods to each other, a MacBook Pro webcam, and an iPhone 11 and mirrorless camera both being used as webcams. In this article and accompanying video I’ll demonstrate three methods that between them let you use almost any GoPro as a webcam, even models released over 6 years ago. Before this feature was released a few months ago, I wrote an article with an accompanying video about a free way to use your GoPro as a wireless webcam – but it only worked with more recent models. But only the latest models actually have a dedicated webcam mode. GoPros with their compact design and wide angle lenses, have the potential to make handy webcams for Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Skype.
