# CamLoop

> CamLoop is a macOS menu-bar app that records a few seconds of you and loops it through a virtual camera in Zoom, Meet, Slack, Teams, and any app with a camera picker, so you can step away from a call while still looking present. One hotkey switches your live feed to the loop and back, your microphone always passes through untouched, and your clips never leave your Mac. Free tier (1 clip, up to 10 seconds); Pro is $4.99/mo for global hotkeys, unlimited clips, simulated lag, and an alignment studio. macOS 14+, Universal, notarized by Apple.
