All Shoot Pro Webcam features are unlocked if you have an active CueCam subscription.

Use your iPhone or iPad as your main camera

Launch Shoot on your iOS device.

Your device appears in CueCam’s toolbar.

Select Shoot as your main camera in CueCam.

Your main camera is now Shoot on your iPhone.

Use your iPhone or iPad as a second camera

Launch Shoot on your iOS device.

Your device appears in CueCam’s toolbar.

In the Dashboard click the arrow on the right of the Share button and select your Shoot device.

To trigger this from a card, use the Add (+) button and select Shoot.

Your main camera will appear as picture-in-picture by default. You can toggle the main camera with the Main Camera button in the Dashboard, or per-card using Card sidebar in a document.

Shoot’s interface on the iPhone

When you use Shoot with CueCam Presenter, its user interface changes accordingly.

In the above diagram we can see some extra features.

1. Program Feed toggle button - when CueCam is sending a program feed or video call window (more about this below) you can toggle the feed from your Mac using this button.
2. When running a presentation, your teleprompter text appears next to the device’s camera. This allows you to read your notes while maintaining decent eye contact with your audience.
3. Here you can see how CueCam’s virtual camera is visible on the iPhone, with the card’s title visible.

Steps to ensure smooth operation

• Enable Do Not Disturb mode on the device running Shoot. This is to stop calls, notifications or other interruptions from putting the app in the background.
• Do not activate Continuity Camera as you will have to physically unlock your phone again to relaunch Shoot. Continuity Camera is not visible in CueCam as a source by default to help reduce the risk of this happening.
• Power the device running Shoot. You don’t want the battery running out and when you’re using CueCam’s two-way video connection it can increase the load on your device.

Controlling your camera settings

Lots of remote control and camera settings are available from within CueCam on your Mac.

1. Program Feed - you can toggle the program feed from your Mac. Here you can see that CueCam’s virtual camera is being sent the iPhone. Using this select box you can select a different window on your Mac, for example your current Zoom call.
2. Settings are available for the device’s currently-select camera, marked here.
3. If you have saved camera presets in Shoot, they will appear here and can be selected with a click.
4. You can tweak your iPhone’s Zoom, exposure and white balance settings here. Click the reset button next to a slider to go back to automatic settings. Note that ‘EV’ only applies when you have long-pressed on your iPhone screen to lock focus and exposure. Conversely, ISO and SHUTTER only apply when you have NOT locked focus and exposure. The front-facing camera doesn’t have a FOCUS control, but the back cameras usually do.
5. Face Follow - enabled this setting to have Shoot keep your face in the centre of the shot. This is particularly useful when using picture-in-picture as it will keep your face in the middle of the circle. When presenting slides with Face Follow active, if you use a left-hand-side or right-hand-side layout, Shoot will centre your face on the other side of the frame so you don’t have to worry about moving out of the way of your titles.
6. You can select a different camera with one of these options.
7. Enable Grid on your iPhone to line yourself up and use the level feature to make sure your device is perfectly straight.
8. You can activate CueCam’s green screen controls if you are using a background.
9. You can add a background image (mostly relevant to green screen usage0
10. You can apply a Camera LUT on your Mac by dragging a LUT here.

Understanding Face Follow

Face Follow keeps your face in the centre of the frame.

You can adjust the rate (a higher number means it will track more quickly) and scale (a higher scale will make your face bigger in the frame by cropping more of the edges.

When running CueCam presentations, Face Follow is aware of the currently-presented slide layout and will move you out of the way of and left or right side content automatically, returning you to the centre of the frame (or picture-in-picture circle) in other cases.

Using Shoot as a teleprompter

When you run a presentation, teleprompter notes are automatically displayed in Shoot.

If the teleprompter isn’t quite aligned with your device’s camera you can drag up and down on the phone screen to move it.

If the text is too small, you can pinch to change its size.

There is a teleprompter toggle inside Shoot if you really don’t want this. Scroll the left-hand-side menu until you see a T in a box.

Viewing your Mac’s Zoom / Teams / Meet window on your iPhone or iPad

Click the device running Shoot’s icon in the toolbar.

Ensure “Send program feed to Shoot” is checked.

Select the window of your meeting in the dropdown.

Now your device’s screen will display your meeting window.

Drawing directly on your camera in Shoot

Shoot has a built-in telestrator. Access this feature by scrolling down the left-hand bar and looking for the telestrator icon (below the “5” in the image below).

You can pick different colours, dim the background, undo and change the Live Titles language using the toolbar at the bottom-right.

Clear your drawing with a double-tap.

Pausing the image from Shoot

Tap with two fingers on the device running Shoot to pause the video.

This lets you draw using Shoot or via Video Pencil on a separate iPad, without having to keep the device or action steady.

A second two-finger tap resumes the camera feed.

You can also use the “pause” button in the left toolbar of Shoot.

Get your camera level

Turn on Shoot’s grid (this won’t come through to CueCam) to activate the “Level” feature.
