Frequently asked questions
Everything you need before your first call — apps, setup, Sync, privacy, and performance. For pricing, see our simple plans page.
Apps & compatibility
Does liveblush work with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, OBS, and Discord?
Yes. liveblush appears as a virtual camera on your Mac. Open the camera menu in Zoom, Teams, Meet, OBS, Discord, or most apps that use a webcam, and choose liveblush — your filtered look goes out on every call and live.
Do I need to set up liveblush separately in each app?
You pick liveblush once per app in that app's camera settings. After that, the app remembers your choice until you change it. Your look is controlled from liveblush — switch presets from the menu bar without reopening each video app.
Can I use liveblush with other streaming or recording tools?
If the app lets you choose a camera source on macOS, liveblush usually works — OBS, Streamlabs, Ecamm, and similar tools included. Pick liveblush as the video input and you're set.
Install & camera extension
How do I install liveblush on my Mac?
Sign in, download the liveblush app for macOS, open the installer, and drag liveblush to Applications. Launch once so macOS can register the virtual camera extension — then select liveblush in your video app.
macOS blocked the liveblush camera extension — how do I fix it?
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera. Allow liveblush and its camera extension, then quit and reopen your video app. If macOS still warns you, approve the extension in Privacy & Security and restart liveblush.
liveblush doesn't show up as a camera — what should I check?
Confirm liveblush is running, the extension is allowed under Camera privacy, and you've fully quit the video app after granting permission. Some apps cache the camera list — restart the app or your Mac if the menu still looks stale.
Uninstall
How do I uninstall liveblush completely?
Quit liveblush, drag the app from Applications to the Trash, and empty the Trash. Remove the camera extension entry under System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions if it remains. Your account stays active until you cancel from your account page.
Sync (iPhone & Mac)
What is liveblush Sync with iPhone and Mac?
Sync pairs your iPhone camera with liveblush on your Mac. Use your phone as the lens — live on your Mac for calls, or record filtered clips that land in your iPhone Photos. See our Sync hub for the two flows.
Do I need to install an app on my iPhone for Sync?
No extra liveblush app on your phone for live calls — macOS Continuity Camera handles the connection with your Apple account. Studio recording uses the liveblush companion when that flow is available on your plan.
Does Sync work over Wi-Fi or do I need USB?
Both work on macOS Ventura and later with the same Apple ID. USB is best for long sessions and the lowest lag; Wi-Fi is fine for everyday calls when you're on the same network.
Privacy & on-device processing
Does liveblush upload my video to the cloud?
No. liveblush runs locally on your Mac. Your camera feed is enhanced on-device — nothing is sent to our servers for real-time beauty filtering, and the liveblush website never processes your camera stream.
Does liveblush record or store my calls?
liveblush does not record your calls or upload your camera feed for processing. It outputs a filtered virtual camera to the apps you choose. Export clips you start yourself follow the limits shown in your account.
Quality & performance
Will the makeup look natural on video?
That's the goal. liveblush tracks your face in real time so skin, glow, and makeup read as you on your best day — not an obvious filter. Pick a subtle look first, then adjust intensity in the app.
Does liveblush slow down my Mac during calls?
liveblush is built for daily calls on Apple Silicon and recent Intel Macs. Processing runs on your GPU where possible. If another app is heavy, close unused apps or lower your output resolution in the video app — liveblush keeps up on typical MacBook setups.
Account
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. Open your account and use the billing portal to cancel whenever you want. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period — no need to email support.
