Summary
DeskBroadcast turns a webcam and microphone into a software-defined studio, sending processed video and voice to other apps as virtual camera and microphone devices. Its Look controls adjust warmth, tint, exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, vibrance, sharpness, and background blur. The microphone chain includes AI voice isolation, hum filtering, gating, four-band EQ, compression, and auto-leveling. Apps including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, FaceTime, OBS, and browsers can select its virtual devices. Video, audio, and the learned room-noise profile stay on the Mac; the app has no account or media telemetry pipeline and works offline. Its software image controls work with every camera, while hardware controls require a UVC-compliant USB webcam. DeskBroadcast requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later and supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. The Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and adds a video watermark. Pro costs 79.00 USD per once and covers 3 Macs; purchases qualify for a full refund if requested within 14 days. Voice isolation adds about 40 ms of latency.
