Webcam Simulator

If you would like to preview the functionality or connect to programs that ask you to have a webcam, Webcam Simulator can give you a helping hand.

You can notice that the interface is simple and the media player features are observed at first sight. If you like to see how a real webcam is behaving when active, load a video file and press the play button atop the listing window. The tool has no problem running AVI and XviD formats, but it crashed when a WMW file was loaded.

A preview small-sized window opens when the broadcast starts. The windows cannot be resized as it simulates a real webcam. The app can broadcast small-sized videos or entire movies; file dimension is not an issue.

Webcam simulator can also connect to dedicated consumer apps, as "Skype," "ICQ," "Paltalk," "MSN" etc. By creating interfaces that are recognized as parts composing a real device by other programs, Webcam Simulator can bypass the mandatory cam requirement.

When connected to multiple users you can broadcast a video to all participants, making it easy for you to share information without too much effort. Large lists of files can be loaded and played. You can also loop a single video by selecting "Settings" > "Loop the same file".

To sum it up, the Webcam Simulator can easily be used as a media player, but its primary function is to connect to different programs that request a physical webcam and bypass the requirement. Also, note that some messenger programs can deny your connection anyway, depending on their detection measures. The intuitive interface will allow even the most inexperienced user to find their way around this tool quickly.
