How to use an external webcam on Mac and iPad

Learn how to connect and use an external camera on your iPad or Mac for FaceTime calls, Zoom, Teams, and other video conferencing apps.
External webcams offer perks like better picture quality, improved low-light performance, and higher frame rates compared to built-in cameras.
To use an external webcam, plug it into your iPad or Mac's USB port and ensure the device is running the latest software.
On iPads, external webcams work seamlessly with video calling apps like FaceTime, Zoom, and Teams, without additional configuration.
Mac users can easily switch between built-in and external cameras in various apps like FaceTime, Photo Booth, and QuickTime Player.
If an app defaults to the built-in camera, troubleshoot by force quitting the app, checking connections, and updating software.
Not all Mac apps allow manual selection of the camera source, with some apps using default camera settings.
While the iPad requires explicit external camera support from developers, most Mac apps are compatible with third-party webcams.
Unfortunately, the iPhone does not currently support external webcams for FaceTime, Zoom, or Teams.
Overall, using an external webcam can enhance your video conferencing experience on both iPad and Mac devices.
