Streaming Videos as Webcam

Hello

Is it possible to stream an AVI ("any" video) file just like a stream of a webcam? My camera is dead and I'll participate on a video chat. I need to send a video file just like a real webcam-captured image.

If this is not the right place to ask this question then please guide me where to post this?

Thank you and Regards

Hello

This might not be the right place to ask this question but luckily I know the answer (or at least I think I know … lol :cool: ).

Try Fake webcam or webcam simulator. Fake webcam is free I guess. I plays video files on webcam applications like yahoo messenger etc.

Let me know if you need further info.

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

Fake Webcam

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

You cant really do live streaming. As it would take a lot of cpu and would screw up the server/domain. Sorry to disappoint. The best thing is to pre record it then put it up!
Hope this helps!!
