Maintaining open-source projects requires effort, and monetary rewards are a great incentive. GitHub now provides a sponsor mechanism allowing you to support project developers easily. Here’s how to proceed.

Sponsoring Others

On the right side of a project, under “Sponsor this project,” click on the ❤️ next to each specific developer to sponsor them. You can choose between one-time payments or regular payments.

Recently, a community project received a request for users to connect an external camera to their Mac, hoping that Alfred would support one-click switching between different cameras. Because there is a rarely need to open video, I haven’t noticed how to use an external device on a Mac before, so I try it here.

Camera Installation

I remembered that I once bought a Logitech Webcam C110, so I found it and tried it, USB interface, I converted the connection through the docking station USB=>TypeC, then opened Tencent Meeting or Facetime, and can see the plug in the camera options of new equipment. Select Discovery work.
