Webcam Settings
Webcam Settings is a utility for macOS that lets users adjust and fine-tune their built-in or external webcam parameters directly from the menu bar. It provides controls for exposure, aperture, brightness, contrast, zoom, backlight compensation, focus and other camera-specific features that are not exposed in macOS's built-in system preferences. Users can save custom presets for quick switching between different camera configurations. The app is primarily used by people doing video conferencing, remote work, live streaming or content creation who want better control over their video feed appearance.

1 suggestionAccording to a Macworld article from December 2020, Webcam Settings was confirmed running on Apple Silicon Macs through Rosetta at that time, but there is no evidence in the available search results that the vendor has released a native Apple Silicon build since then. The latest version available appears to be 3.0, and downloads are still being offered through third-party software sites. Roughly 28 months remain before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). Contact the vendor through the Mac App Store product page to confirm whether a native build is planned, or check the developer's website directly for any recent announcements about Apple Silicon compatibility. If the vendor has not committed to a native build, you should begin exploring alternative webcam control utilities — Logitech Capture (free, native on Apple Silicon) is a strong option if you use Logitech hardware, and several other alternatives listed on software review sites now offer native Apple Silicon support.
