Does not work on Windows 10

Open iuli4n opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

On Windows 10 does not create a webcam device which Zoom (or other camera apps) can use. Does not show in Device Manager under Imaging Devices.

Steps to reproduce on Windows 10:

  1. Ran RunMeFirst/x64/Register.bat, got a message that the DLL was registered successfully.
  2. Opened CubesScene scene from UnitySample/Assets/UnityCam/Example under Unity2019.2.9f1.
  3. Ran the scene, got no errors.
  4. While running tried to connect to this as a webcam through Zoom, and Windows Camera app. This does not show up as a new webcam, so can't access it.

Please advise, and thanks.

Nevermind it works but has room for improvement: The function calls to get frames from the DLL return FALSE even when the DLL works properly. There should be a way for the user to know if the DLL is functioning properly or not, maybe just provide a working scene example of putting the camera on a texture. I can make this if you want.

It may have required a computer restart. If that's the case, this should be in the instructions.

Additionally, this doesn't seem to work with all camera applications (ex: doesn't show up in the default Camera app from Windows 10, but it works in Zoom), would be great to make it universally accessible.

Hi, I have the same problem as you. After registering the dll, I also get the prompt of successful registration, but I still can’t find the camera in other software or web pages. How do you solve the problem with win10? Thanks in advance.
