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.

Skin smoothing

Teeth whitening

Face shape

Eyes

Nose

Lips

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.

Beauty Filters

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.
