Antivirus check: VirusTotal report
Programs like XSplit VCam usually pose one main goal, and make it almost their entire purpose - but this software also provides some other utilities which will be described below. Its focus is, of course, removing the background of your live webcam image and putting a new image, video or other background in the newly created space, without a green screen. Other than that it also offers background blurring with a natural bokeh look, background replacement with your own images and videos or with the built-in library, and a virtual camera that other applications can select just like a normal webcam.
These are the major features that are in place but some more take place, like, for example, AI-based auto-framing that keeps your face centered in the frame when you move. VCam also adds logos and name tags to the video and applies camera effects such as studio lighting. The virtual camera works with mainstream conference and meeting services such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Discord, or generally any video call software that lets you choose a camera. The compatibility doesn't end here, as the program also works with OBS Studio, XSplit Broadcaster and other streaming software. VCam suits streamers, YouTubers, teachers and remote workers who appear on camera live, and it is also used by podcasters and people in business. The processing runs locally on the computer, so the camera feed is not sent to a server.
XSplit VCam removes, blurs or replaces the background of your live webcam video without a green screen and works with most video call and streaming apps.
Features:
XSplit VCam can be used for free with a watermark on the video, while paid Personal, Business and Lifetime plans remove it. SplitmediaLabs is gradually moving users from XSplit VCam to its successor VCam, which runs on Windows and Mac. To put it simply, VCam is an easy way to change your webcam background without a green screen or extra hardware.
