Why is there no Mac software for the Kiyo Pro?

MacOS is not supported by Synapse 3.

You can only use your webcam as a ‘generic’ one - without drivers.

There’s 3rd party software like Razer macOS but currently it doesn’t support any webcams (maybe in future): https://github.com/1kc/razer-macos

That kinda sucks. Guess I have to return the cam then. Thanks for letting me know.

The camera is marketed as compatible with MacOS. I specifically need to access the wide angle which, on MacOS, I cannot. Will return.

I have a Mac and the Razer 

Try this app - http://mactaris.blogspot.com/p/webcam-settings.html

Allows you to control the Razer. Image quality is excellent

Thank you Urban, i tried that app. Besides the fact that after the first launch it always crashed on launch, it didn’t let me access the 120 degrees wide angle on the camera (only digital crop of the default 90 degrees) which i could instead access via the razor software on my windows pc :/

Hi,

Trying to bring up old thread. So can anyone from Razer explain at last - why there is no proper Mac support in Synapse 3 software?

In case you need to adjust basic webcam settings (for example stop flickering) - this software did the trick for me:

Pretty sad that Razor cant get this support done...

Right? It can’t be that complicated to develop and considering the potential market size it seems obvious to support Macs. 

@FiszPL, do you know if support for Mac is being considered for the future?

I just received my Kiyo Pro Ultra. I’d read good things about Synapse before I ordered, but I missed that Mac is not supported.  

I don’t know unfortunately. This is question to Razer :)

Please Razer, give us an answer and a solution!! 🙏

You’re a saviour. I was thinking to return it.

But, are we expecting some support from Razer in future or not?

I’d like to know if there will be official support for Mac’s as well.

PLEASE bring MAC support for even Basic Camera Settings!!

I have a Razer Kiyo Pro on my Macbook Pro and I use Webcam Effects app to control the camera.  Allows me to zoom,  pan, tilt and add effects to the image that is produced. Works pretty well.

Webcam Effects app works great with Razer Kiyo Pro and Mac. 

Amazing! Thanks.. have sent him a Kofi tip

Thank you - extremely helpful. All i needed to do was to go to photobooth and select the Razer Kiyo in the camera list. Brilliant and works straight away.

Hello guys, is there any other configuration needed in order to actually see image on the screen (mac)? I just plugged it in, I see a white led light on the top of the camera when I open the camera booth, but the image is completely black. wtf

Quick question on this thread:  if I want to use a Kiyo on a Mac that I can’t install software on, can I adjust the settings on a different computer (another Mac, or a pc) and then save them to the camera?  Does the camera remember its settings, or are they only retained in the software?

I just got my Razer Kiyo camera and I use a Mac Pro (with no integrated microphone or camera). I would mostly like to add some feedback about the inaccurate instructions that came with it, stating that when you plug it in an LED indicator light will light up.
It does not, and some people might think that the camera is DOA.

However, just as a built-in camera does not light up until software tells it to, you can test that it works simply by opening up Apple’s Photo Booth software! When you do that, the LED will come on, and if the illumination light dial is rotated clockwise, the light will illuminate, and you can see that the camera is working.

I guess I will do the same thing when I connect the camera and my microphone to my DELL laptop, running Linux. It would be nice if Windows software was not the only supported software provided.

It will run as a standard camera, with the included light, without any desperate need for special software.

Webcam Settings appears to work with Razer Kiyo (I don't have the Pro). The settings come up on mine. The author has other camera control software as well. Please be aware that built-in camera’s in recent (2020+) Mac’s are not controllable by third party software due to OS restrictions.

I was checking out the Webcam Setting but didn’t want to pay for it so found a free App in the Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/spedal/id1638691144?l=en-US&mt=12

It works good enough to see yourself and basic options.
