Camo Spotlight – April 2024
Getting better video into more hands this month means growing your video skills and making the best use of your tech. We’ve got pointers for getting the absolute best out of your green screen, fantastic advice for using the best webcam you own, and an episode of Office Hours that’s full of iPad tips and tricks. There’s also a bit of NAB news, an invitation to step into our creator Spotlight, and a talent search in the key of C#. It’s April, but this issue of the Camo Spotlight is definitely not fooling around.
Getting great green screen
Ready to get creative? Try swapping out your background with Camo’s Replace feature, which offers both virtual and physical green screen background replacement. And because getting your green screen scenery perfect takes a bit of planning, we’ve put together a helpful little tutorial.?
Time to phone it in
Camo makes any connected camera look better, but we’ll never stop asking users to try it out with their smartphone. The setup is simple, the picture is seriously pro-level, and having a wireless webcam as your primary or secondary camera unlocks Gerwig-level creative possibilities. So go ahead - download the iOS or Android app and see for yourself why so many streamers, content creators and professionals are already using their phones with Camo to meet, stream and create.
Camo office hours
The last YouTube livestream of Office Hours had it all: talk about DSLRs, iPad demos, a BTS look at Eden’s cable jungle - and that’s just the first five minutes. You can watch all the action on replay.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of Camo FOMO, there’s a simple prescription: just subscribe to our YouTube channel, turn on notifications, and you’ll receive alerts whenever we’re going live or posting a new video. Because the best cure is prevention.

Ready to take your place in the Spotlight? If you use Camo to meet, stream or create video, we’d love to hear more about what you’re up to, and perhaps showcase you and your work in an upcoming issue of the newsletter. Just drop us an email or reach out on social with a brief description of your work or projects, along with links to your channels/projects/manifestos. Great video deserves to be celebrated.
NABracadabra
In mid-April we’ll be heading out to Vegas for the magical NAB show - the annual trade event for all things media, entertainment and technology. We’ll be checking out the latest and greatest, meeting with some Camo friends, and finding some stories we’ll tell you when we get back. If you’re planning to be there as well, hit us up on socials @reincubate - we can coordinate outfits.
Help wanted. Apply within.
The Camo team is growing, and we’re looking to add an experienced C# Software Engineer and QA & Software Tester to our close-knit team. If one of these sounds like you, take a look at the postings and let us know in your own, human words who you are and what you’re about.?
And finally, some useful equations
Handlebars x Hal 9000 = bike to the future
Space race startup + moon shovels = securing party balloons for all mankind
Meat Loaf x Machine Learning =? invasion of the robot earworms
That’s a wrap for now! We’ll be back in May with more pro video tips, tricks and news, but until then, we’ll be on the lookout for more amazing Camo content created by the community.?
Thanks for reading,
The Camo Team
