ManyCam (MC) : Use Webcam with Multiple Programs Simultaneously, Add Special Effects to Video Stream

ManyCam is freeware that adds live CGI graphics such as sunglasses or hats to a webcam’s output, with those automatically tracking face movements. The name of the software is derived from its feature allowing users to use their webcam with multiple Windows applications simultaneously.

It also supports dynamic and static virtual backgrounds, Text Over Video, and Drawing over Video. In version 2.3, virtual 3D masks were added. ManyCam can also use the desktop as a webcam.

There is also simple module for creating effects included within the software, which mainly consists of adding image files / videos and converting them to a ManyCam friendly format. Face effects and backgrounds can also be created. The ManyCam website has a database of more than 7,000 effects, most of which are user-generated.

ManyCam uses a webcam or video camera as input for the software itself and then replicates itself as an alternative source of input. Because of this, ManyCam works nearly all chat software such as Windows Live Messenger that can find alternative video inputs.
