There are third-party apps on the App Store (such as 'Webcam Settings') that enable you to control the same functions as Synapse, such as white balance. However, the Kiyo does work on Macs as a plug-and-play device, so it can be used like any other webcam. NOTE: The software that comes with the Kiyo, called Synapse, is not Mac-compatible. Plus it’s delightfully compact and portable, so we’d also consider this the best Mac webcam for travel too. It comes with a foldable and adjustable stand, so you can either position it on your desk or clip it to your Mac. The camera captures 1080p Full HD resolution at 30 frames per second, or you can opt for 60fps at 720p for super-smooth streaming. So rather than the dark and dingy image most people portray when video calling from home, you’ll offer a bright and flattering picture that will help you come across as more attractive and professional.
Supporting OSX 10.5 and above, it comes with a ring light, made up of 12 LEDs set in a circle, and offers adjustable lighting levels and a built-in autofocus.
