Virtual webcam

If you would like to use a virtual background in video conferences, you can store it here.

This function is currently still experimental and does not work in Jitsi, for example. However, most web conferencing services (including Jitsi) provide their own background function.

To test the background, click on the "Test" button to the right of the virtual webcam to see the Liveview window with the current image from your camera.

In the open Liveview window, you can open the Liveview settings using the cogwheel at the top next to "Take a photo". You can display the virtual webcam or the normal webcam without a background by selecting the corresponding device.
