Windows – Running Webcam with multiple applications

task schedulerwebcamwindows 7

I am running YAWCAM as a service, no GUI. The thing is, a webcam cannot interact with multiple softwares by default.

So, is there a way to enable multiple connections to the same webcam via software?

I want to know if I can do something or get a software which allows me to use multiple instances of the same webcam. Preferred with no constantly configuration, just set up the essential one time and never touch it any more.

Best Answer

I recommend to use the free and open source software, OBS Studio.

There is an OBS VirtualCam plugin which enables to create a virtual camera which can be used by other apps, for free, with no odious "watermark". I tested it just now, and it works great.
