  • Best Webcam for Someone With Rosacea?
    I used a program called 'guvcview' to adjust my webcam. I turned down the saturation. It makes all the colors muted, but my face looks normal and not bright red. Source: about 3 years ago

  • How to create multiple virtual cameras for an app in development?
    I have tested OBS's Virtual Camera feature, but it only provides a single virtual camera from what I've tried. I also tested a piece of software called Webcamoid. It was easy to use, but I couldn't get the MediaStream object from it using Tauri on MacOS for some reason, even though it worked when I opened the test app in Chrome instead. I am not sure it would enable multiple instances either. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Webcam issues
    That did not seem to do anything with Cheese, however it lead me down a rabbithole to https://webcamoid.github.io/ with links to virtual camera drivers for "akvcam" and "v4l2loopback" which solved the issue within browser. I installed both, not sure which one was needed. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Was forced to participate in a Facebook Messenger call today.
    Yes, obs-virtualcam, or this open source thing will do it https://webcamoid.github.io/. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Can someone please help me identify this coin?
    I would have liked to take better quality pictures, but this was the best my webcam could muster (at least when using Webcamoid). If the images don't appear, and show the alt text I provided, it's a coin with a silver outer circle, and a gold inner-circle (where the details are present). Source: over 2 years ago
