PotatoCam is a camera for your Mac or Windows PC. Pick it in Zoom, FaceTime or Meet and the call sees a potato that talks when you talk. Or a kitten. Or just you, on a better day.

What it does

Be something else

A potato, a banana, an orange, a kitten, or any picture you drop in. It blinks and talks along with your real eyes and mouth.

Or stay yourself

Hats, glasses and beards that stay put when you turn your head. Swap your shirt for a hoodie or a bodybuilder.

Look like you slept

Touch-up smooths skin and evens the light. Go further with makeup you didn't have to put on, or a sharper jaw.

Set it up in a minute

  1. Download and open it, then drag PotatoCam into your Applications folder.
  2. Open PotatoCam. It walks you through installing the camera. Your Mac asks you to allow it once.
  3. Pick "PotatoCam" as the camera in Zoom, FaceTime, Meet or anything else that has a camera menu.

On Windows: run the installer, open PotatoCam, then pick "PotatoCam" as the camera in Zoom, Teams, Meet or Chrome.

On a Mac, PotatoCam checks for new versions by itself and updates in place. Your video is made on your own computer and goes only to the call you're on.
