[Question] using both real camera and virtual camera simultaneously (split cam)

[zaher83]

Does akvirtualcamera support split webcams?

Hi, After streaming real camera to virtual one created using akvirtualcamera, on Windows 10 (64), the Real Camera(integrated webcam) was not accessible by other programs like zoom, google meet and others.

So I just want to know if is it possible to do that if yes please guide.

Thanks

You can't use a camera in more than one program, it doesn't matter which operating system or program you use, that's why virtual cameras exists, just create one vcam for each program and stream the same video to each one of them at same time.

@hipersayanX yes I know I can stream video to multiple virtual cameras, but my case is streaming webacam to multiple virtual cameras. When I tried doing that, the webcam wasn't accessible by other apps (like zoom, skype..)

My objective is to create two webcams that could be accessible at the same time.

As I said before, you capture from the real camera, send the output to the virtual cameras, and make the programs capture from those virtual cameras.

When I tried doing that, the webcam wasn't accessible by other apps (like zoom, skype..)

You can check the support status here, and you can read the wiki if you have any question on how to configure the camera.
