Hey folks,

Like many people today, I am in a place enforcing shelter in place orders and working from home. I happen to have an Osmo Pocket, and it occurs to me that it would make a truly awesome webcam. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be an option - the only way I can find to make this work is to buy Cosmostreamer and an HDMI input device. This seems a bit crazy to me - seems like an Osmo Pocket firmware update could pretty easily shoot this data out over USB (as it can easily stream this data out over USB to my phone, for example) as a webcam stream format (for example, libuvc compatible format).

Is there any way we could get this feature added to the Osmo Pocket? I think that at this point this could be a really great sales driver - nearly every good webcam today is sold out across online retailers, and the Osmo Pocket is generally in my opinion far superior to most of these products.

Thanks!

This really should be an option and a no-brainer. It's not like there are technical limitations for it either as it easily transfers the images over USB. Please DJI listen to your customers, this has been talked about for a long time. You have added live streaming to Osmo Action but there is no way to get HDMI/webcam image out nor a way to live stream from your most capable little device.
