This project is not under development anymore. If you want to control your Microsoft LiveCam Studio on macOS Catalina, the tool Webcam Settings seems to be a working alternative according to Olivier Lacan on this blog post and #23.

Features

This software accompanies the physical CamHolder you can find at http://CamHolder.org and runs on Mac OSX 10.6+. It connects to one or more USB WebCams of the type "Microsoft LifeCam Studio" and offers several features such as

• zooming and rotation,
• fullscreen and snap to center (for screencasting),
• manual exposure time and focus,
• borderless and resizable windows,
• comfortable keyboard short cuts,

that make presenting and screencasting with the CamHolder a snap.

License

Even though this software is open-source you must neither sell the compiled binary nor build any commercial software on top of its code without significant changes (see file LICENSE).
