What it doesn't do: It lacks image adjustment controls - leaving all focus, color, brightness and white balance to Logitech's built-in camera hardware. Logitech's Mac webcam software handles capturing clips at the 16:9 wide aspect ratio and HD modes far more intelligently.

Older apps were only designed for 3:4 aspect-ratios and standard-definition snapshots or video at 320x240 or 640x480 VGA resolution.

Why you want it: Many older OSX video chat and capture programs can't or have a hard time taking full advantage of HD 7 resolutions. You can download the latest build of the Logitech Webcam Software For Mac OSX 10.5+ via this link. Sharing captured clips and snapshots to FaceBook, YouTube and Twitter is also supported. Logitech's OSX web camera control software features still image capture and video recording in Standard and High-Definition Widescreen modes at various VGA and HD resolutions - in compressed or optionally uncompressed format for iMovie imports. All cameras mentioned and linked above are USB Video Class webcams and the driver itself is part of OSX for basic functionality. The app is hard-coded to detect only specific camera models. Newer webcam models that weren't currently mentioned on Logitech's support page (like the C525, C920 and other HD cameras) DO NOT work with this capture application. It gives more usability out of some of the legacy UVC compliant Logitech HD webcam models for which they specifically offer OSX support. It's more a webcam capture application Macintosh users can install to perform HD still image and video clip capture control. It was technically not 'Driver' software: OSX handles that with the system-level support for UVC compatible cameras. In years past, they had a very spotty history of commiting to support Apple web camera compatibility whole-heartedly, but they've gotten somewhat better as Apple's market-share and dominance has increased.Ī few years back they released Logitech web camera software Mac OSX Yosemite, Mavericks, Leopard. The largest manufacturer of - and arguably the best webcams made - are from Logitech.
