On Linux, the v4l2loopback device can be used to do this, I have had success with this. I have also read of akvcam, but not tested it. The latter is a project by webcamoid, which is also implemented for Mac and Windows. Perhaps it's worth looking what technology they use on those two platforms, as those were the ones you named. Under Windows it's probably a DirectShow filter. If you use webcamoid directly, it's no longer ffmpeg though: https://github.com/webcamoid/webcamoid/wiki/Virtual-camera-support Cheers, Moritz _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
