Today, Mytour will show you how to connect your GoPro action camera to your computer, so you can easily download and edit the photos/videos you’ve recorded.
Steps
Connecting the GoPro to the computer
Turn off the GoPro. Press the Power/Mode button on the screen or the top of the camera until it powers down.
Locate the USB port. On the left side of the camera body, you will find a small USB port.
Connect the GoPro to your computer. Use the cable that came with your GoPro. Plug one end into the small USB port on the camera, and the other end into an available USB port on your computer.
- It is recommended to connect the camera directly to one of the main USB ports on your computer instead of a USB hub or ports on a keyboard or monitor.
- Alternatively, you can remove the microSD card from the GoPro and insert it into a card reader connected to your computer.
Access the content.
Power on the GoPro. Press the Power/Mode button located on the screen or the top edge of the camera until the red LED light turns on. Once connected to the computer, the GoPro will switch to USB mode and display the USB icon on the camera's screen (if equipped).
- If the camera doesn't automatically switch to USB mode, press the Power/Mode button again.
- If using a HERO3+ or an older model, be sure to turn off the Wi-Fi on the camera before connecting to the computer.
Find photos and videos. On a Mac computer, you will see a camera icon appear on the desktop. Double-click this icon to access the photos and videos stored on the camera's microSD card.
- On Windows, go to My Computer, then find and double-click the GoPro listed in the available drives.
