Is this camera Mac compatible? null

I would say, "Kind of, but not really". This camera "works" without any extra drivers or software. Just plug it in and it will show up in Zoom, FaceTime, PhotoBooth, Hangouts or any other app that uses a webcam. The issue is that the default settings are not great (over exposed unless room lighting is perfect, aggressive and slow refocusing) and Razer have decided that they will not be making the Synapse 3 software for macOS. This means that you will have zero control over these settings and that is bad. If you're buying this because of the "built-in ring light", don't. The ring is not big enough to give the correct lighting effect that larger lights would, and the color response is not great either. Skin colors are washed out and not great. Do yourself a favor and just buy a Logitech C920 or StreamCam and get a separate ring light with a CRI95+ rating.

No, this is not Mac compatible.

Yes, this camera is Mac compatible. From a video I've seen on YouTube, the Kiyo was demonstrated on a MacBook pro confirming the cam is UVC compliant and works under OSX 10.5 and beyond up to the current MacOS Catalina.
