Questions? Answers.

What's the difference between Cameo and Cameo Director?

The difference is what happens after you stop recording. With Cameo you get a beautiful recording — 4K 60fps, Auto Zoom on clicks, Canvas Mode, overlays — and then you build the edit: placing zooms and typing moments by hand. With Cameo Director the first cut arrives already directed: Smart Zoom reads the screen and places every zoom, frame, and typing shot while you record, so editing becomes a quick review — adjust the shots you care about, add your captions, export. Publish weekly and that's hours back every month. Director is only available here, not on the App Store.

Can I upgrade from Cameo to Cameo Director later?

Yes. If you bought Cameo on the Mac App Store, we credit your $49 purchase toward a Director lifetime or yearly plan — contact support with your purchase details.

Where do I buy each edition?

Cameo ($49 one-time) is sold exclusively on the Mac App Store. Cameo Director is sold exclusively here — its Smart Zoom engine isn't allowed in the App Store sandbox, so it can't be distributed there.

What's the difference between subscription and lifetime?

Subscriptions (monthly/yearly) include all future major version updates. Lifetime purchase gives you permanent access to version 1.x updates. For v2.0 and beyond, you'd need to purchase again or switch to a subscription.

Can I use Cameo on multiple Macs?

Yes! Each license allows activation on up to 2 machines. You can deactivate and reactivate as needed from your dashboard.

Is there a free trial?

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee. Try Cameo risk-free — if it's not for you, we'll refund your purchase, no questions asked.

What macOS versions are supported?

Cameo requires macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or later. It runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

Can I switch between Director plans?

Yes! You can upgrade from monthly to yearly anytime. If you have a lifetime license and want subscription benefits, contact support.
