VirtualCamera is a virtual webcam application tool that allows you to send out a virtual feed of images coming live from your computer instead of your normal webcam video feed or in case you do not have a webcam at all.
VirtualCamera allows to send as a video feed images, recorded videos or other items (Flash files in the near future).
If you use tools like Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, PalTalk or ICUII, you can take advantage of these tools integrated video conferencing abilities to showcase not what your webcam sees, but other multimedia content you have on your local computer.
VirtualCamera can easily switch its input to your real webcam or get it back with equal ease. To share images, pictures or to play movies to anyone your meeting live in cyberspace in a videoconferencing-enabled environment, you can use VirtualCamera.
VirtualCamera supports RealMedia video files. If you have already installed RealPlayer, you can feed RealMedia video file (*.rm or *.rmvb) to Virtualcamera.
VirtualCamera works with Windows 98 ME 2000 and XP and it needs no special hardware. As mentioned, you do not even have to have a webcam to use VirtualCamera.
