*Please see the following for Continuity Camera system requirements. (Apple currently limits Continuity Camera to 1920x1440, so this will be the highest resolution you can achieve for your webcam in Camtasia Editor if using Continuity Camera)

** Basic USB-C HDMI Capture Card: These cards are used with cameras which output via HDMI. There are various brands and models available. They are much cheaper compared to other capture devices. The majority of them output at 1080P/30FPS max.

*** There is a known compatibility issue between xSplit VCam and Apple's MacOS that may cause issues with xSplit-specific tools.
