AlterCam is virtual webcam software for Windows. After install, Windows gets a new camera via a kernel-mode driver — not a DirectShow-only filter and not a pyvirtualcam-style wrapper. That is why AlterCam Virtual Camera shows up in the Windows Camera app, Teams, Zoom, Discord, browsers, and other clients that often hide OBS Virtual Camera.

Pick AlterCam as the camera in any app. Whatever you set up — live webcam, screen, video file, overlays, or AI background — is what those apps see.

What you can do

• Broadcast anything: physical webcam, desktop, image, or a pre-recorded video
• AI virtual background without a green screen (Windows 10 x64+)
• 50+ live effects, text/image overlays, picture-in-picture, chroma key
• Split the webcam so Zoom, Teams, and Discord can use it at once — no "webcam busy"
• Record webcam or screen, take snapshots
• Change your voice in real time, with noise suppression and auto-normalize
• GPU acceleration to keep CPU use lower
• Rename the virtual camera if a service filters by device name

Why people switch from ManyCam or OBS

ManyCam alternatives are usually about price, watermarks, and a lighter workflow. OBS Virtual Camera is free but is a DirectShow filter, so it often does not appear in Windows Camera or some Teams/Zoom builds. AlterCam is built for that gap: a real kernel webcam plus effects in one app.

CodeHerald provides a new way to keep track of your code review queue, grouped by your next action needed.

When would you use CodeHerald?

• You work in a team that does code reviews.
• Your team receives ad-hoc code review requests via multiple channels: DMs, emails, bookmarks of filtered lists.
• Your team sometimes loses track of small pull requests, delaying them days.
• Your team find ad-hoc code review requests distracting, but cannot put a finger on why.
• Your team tried different strategies to improve code review process, and none of them felt right.

If any of the above is true, CodeHerald will help you.

What can CodeHerald do for you?

CodeHerald groups pull requests by next action: must review, needs an update, can be merged. It allows you to replace slack, emails, filters, and browser bookmarks with one single page that you can open at a glance and decide which PR to tackle next.
