This guide covers macOS specifically. If you are on Windows, or you want the short version for every platform, read how to freeze your camera on Zoom instead.
We've all been in those calls where we just want to freeze our webcam and quickly go do something else.
Until lately the only way of doing it was going in the Zoom webcam settings and fiddling in with the virtual background and the camera settings, which would sometimes cause some flickering and you getting busted...
I decided it was time for a change and decided to create FreezingCam.
This tutorial explains you the steps to install FreezingCam on your Mac.
