What should I do if the VCam virtual camera cannot be used? The article brought to you today is the solution to the problem that the VCam virtual camera cannot be used. If you are still unclear, let’s learn it with the editor.
The camera list is empty
If the camera list in a program is empty, it may be caused by the latest version of Windows privacy settings. You can open Windows Settings > Privacy > Camera And turn on the "Allow apps to access your camera" switch, and then run the program again.
Cannot be used normally
If a third-party program can select VCam but the video does not work properly, it may be that the default resolution of the camera does not meet the requirements.
You can modify the default resolution of VCam to meet the other party’s requirements, common resolutions such as 320×240, 1280×720, etc.
The camera is blocked
Some programs or websites do not allow the use of virtual cameras including VCam for various reasons.
The following are some common methods and countermeasures:
Judge by the camera name. If it is "e2eSoft VCam", it will not be used.
Solution: VCam can be set in Options Settings > Camera Settings > Device Name in VCam You can just modify the name of the camera and it should be ready for use.
Determined by the process name, if the system process includes "VCamMain.exe" or the like, it will not be used.
Solution-1: Just change the name of the VCam executable file (VCamMain.exe) in the VCam installation directory;
Solution-2: Use a process hiding tool to hide the VCam process.
Judged by the program window title, if it contains "VCam", it will not be used.
Solution: Same as [1], just change the camera name.
Through technical means, it is judged that as long as it is a virtual camera, it cannot be used, and only hardware cameras are supported.
Solution: Use the replace camera function of our other software - WeCam Video Studio to directly modify the content of the hardware camera.
