Hello

Many times when I open someone’s webcam in yahoo room, its showing video rather than showing the person on the other side. How do these people do that? Does yahoo allow you to do that? If so which version of yahoo allows that?

Thank you for your help.
Newbie

 

Hi Newbie,

It’s not yahoo but rather they are webcam player softwares such as fake webam or webcam simulator. People use such programs to broadcast video from their computers to yahoo webcams.

I think one of them is free. I used it long time ago.

 

didnt think yahoo had rooms any more

 

Its very easily done. The client application (Yahoo Messenger here) takes its images from Video for Windows. If you fit a simple TV card with a video in port (which they all have), then any image supplied to Video for Windows through this interface card will be available to the client. When you set it up you will have the opportunity to select your source: if you choose the TV card source then whatever is playing through that will be displayed as a webcam image when you expect to see something else with your trousers down!

 

I use fake webcam for this purpose. It’s just a tiny program that does it all.

Use fake webcam to play you pre-recorded videos on instant messengers (Yahoo, MSN, Paltalk, camfrog etc) while chatting. It can even broadcast one single movie to all the messengers at the same time. Pretend like a teenage girl or a 50 year old male, your chat mate wont be able to figure out that its not you.

It enables you to:
* Play pre-recorded videos without even having a physical webcam.
* Shared your video clips with family and firends through your instant messengers.

You can download it from
