Phony Yahoo Webcam

[kitaw11]

Hello

Many times when I open someone’s webcam in yahoo room, its showing video rather than showing the person on the other side. How do these people do that? Does yahoo allow you to do that? If so which version of yahoo allows that?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Newbie,

It’s not yahoo but rather they are webcam player softwares such as fake webam or webcam simulator. People use such programs to broadcast video from their computers to yahoo webcams.

I think one of them is free. I used it long time ago.

lots of tv tuner cards have video input, and these cards are viewed as just another video input device to the OS.

They just select the video input of the card, and pop a tape in the old vcr.

I use fake webcam for this purpose. It’s just a tiny program that does it all.

Use fake webcam to play you pre-recorded videos on instant messengers (Yahoo, MSN, Paltalk, camfrog etc) while chatting. It can even broadcast one single movie to all the messengers at the same time. Pretend like a teenage girl or a 50 year old male, your chat mate wont be able to figure out that its not you.

It enables you to:
* Play pre-recorded videos without even having a physical webcam.
* Shared your video clips with family and firends through your instant messengers.

Link removed. While this one isn't obviously dangerous, I'm not sanguine on setting the precedent of leaving a link to an executable file out there, especially in a warned post.--Terri

Yeah. One post, advertising a program, linking to an executable file.

No, I don't think so.

Rereading the thread, it looks as though this has run its course. Locking.
