Webcamoid is a cross-platform camera suite for capturing photos and videos, managing multiple webcams, applying 60+ effects, and streaming to platforms like Twitch and YouTube. It also provides a virtual camera driver so processed video can be fed into other applications on Linux and Windows.
Use cases
- record video from my webcam with effects
- use my webcam as a virtual camera in zoom or obs
- stream my camera to twitch and youtube at the same time
- capture my screen or a single window as video
- manage multiple webcams with custom controls
- use a network stream or local file as a camera source
- stream video over http on my local network
When to choose
- you need a free, open-source camera app across Linux, Windows, or Android
- you want a virtual camera to feed processed video into other apps
- you want built-in effects, multi-camera management, and multi-destination streaming in one tool
When to avoid
- you need a virtual camera on macOS or Android, which is not supported
- you need professional multi-source scene compositing like OBS provides
- you require a permissive license, since Webcamoid is GPL-3.0
