Make sure you download the latest firmware if you want to use webcam mode – connect wirelessly via the Insta360 app and you should be prompted if there’s an update.

All you need is the supplied USB charging cable but don’t connect it just yet. Update firmware firstīoth cameras deliver full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution when used as a webcam. The Leica 1” mod is not currently supported, most likely because its minimum focussing distance would make it unusable in most situations. The older One X and the new GO 2 don’t have a webcam mode, and the One R only supports webcam mode with the 4K and 360 degree mod. Currently, you’ll need an Insta360 One X2 or One R. Not all Insta360 cameras support the webcam mode. Setup & test footage 1″ Lens Mod doesn’t support webcam mode I’ll discuss how to set up the webcam mode which works on a PC or Mac, and I’ll compare the quality to the GoPro Hero 9, the popular Logitech C920, a MacBook Pro and a Panasonic mirrorless camera with a USB capture card. Surfacing this feature and baking it into the Mac in a richer format would make Find My even more powerful.I’ve looked at using a GoPro as a webcam in a couple of recent videos, but if you have a Insta360 One R or One X2 they can also be used as pretty handy webcams, and with a couple of additional features GoPro’s don’t have. An iPhone can already be used as an iPad remote control and vice versa. Allow us to toggle settings on/off, such as Wi-Fi or Airplane Mode. Apple could make Find My more useful by turning it into a control center for these devices. Right now, I can lock, ping, and locate my iPhone, along with other basic commands. More importantly, though, macOS 14 should allow us to better control our existing iDevices. A welcome addition would be proper support for the company's trackers. Starting with AirTags, for reasons unknown, you can't pair a new AirTag or ping an existing one on macOS right now. Nonetheless, Find My - as a service - is far from perfect.

This makes it harder for thieves to hide their tracks or go off the grid. In fact, users can even find their (compatible) iPhones even if they're turned off.

You can locate, erase, ping, and do more for lost or stolen devices. Find My and its wide network is a powerful tool for Apple users.
