new video source
« on: June 06, 2009, 07:39:53 PM »
I love the application.
I would like to be able to use the PC screan as the video source as the input to Icam. This makes it so that any thing that will run on a PC is a source for the Icam. I now dothis using externat hardware. Since PC are alike "one size fits all" well so to speak.
Thanks.

Jay

There is software that can turn your computer's desktop (or portions of it) into a virtual webcam which will show up in the Video drop down list in iCamSource.  If you search Google for "virtual webcam", you'll find a few different programs that do this.  The one that I've tried is called ManyCam, and it seemed to work fine.

Thanks Jay
ManyCam not only works, but it is fun tp play with. Can make Skype a new fun thing, with the different backgrounds. Thanks again
