Xamera: Beauty Filters and Camera Effects for Mac
Use real-time beauty filters, camera looks, background effects, image controls, and privacy tools in FaceTime, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and OBS.
New in Xamera 3
Fine-tune how you look with Face Studio
Xamera's beauty filters give you separate, real-time controls instead of one generic touch-up setting. Make subtle adjustments, preview them before a call, and send the finished camera feed to FaceTime, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or OBS.

Face Shield
Face Studio uses face tracking. Face Shield helps prevent an unfiltered frame from appearing if Xamera temporarily loses track of your face. Processing remains on your Mac.
Consistent style.
Use the same camera filters and image controls in FaceTime, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, OBS, and other apps that let you choose a camera.
Use Xamera Camera Filters to match your unique style.
Advanced privacy.
Xamera's Advanced Privacy feature can hide your camera output when another person enters the frame. Check the final call preview and keep a manual camera-off control ready; detection cannot guarantee that nobody appears.
Requirements and limitations
- Xamera requires an Apple-silicon Mac and macOS 15.5 or later.
- The destination app must allow you to choose a camera source.
- Current supported apps include FaceTime, Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, OBS.
- Filter and segmentation quality can vary with lighting, camera quality, and framing.
- Face Studio relies on face tracking; review the preview before an important call.
