A feature that was released in beta for the Hero 8, webcam mode is now an official built-in camera mode in the Hero 9. Simply click on the webcam toggle in the camera’s settings and plugin it into the computer. You will now have a high-quality USB webcam you can use to create videos or talk over Zoom. The Hero 9 comes with the improved HyperSmooth 3.0 which builds on the previous two iterations of the stabilization technology and adds in-camera horizon leveling. Along with HyperSmooth 3.0, the Hero 9 comes with TimeWarp 3.0 which adds more acceleration and control over your time-lapse videos.
