What is XSplit VCam?

XSplit VCam is a virtual camera application that lets you add backgrounds, effects, and filters to your video feed in real time. It works as a virtual camera that feeds into video conferencing apps, streaming software, and recording tools, so you can enhance your appearance and environment without needing a physical green screen or expensive studio setup. The tool includes customisable backgrounds (solid colours, images, or videos), motion tracking to follow your movement, chroma key functionality for removing your actual background, various visual filters, and 3D objects you can place in your scene. It's useful for anyone who records video content, streams online, or attends video calls and wants to look more polished or change their setting.
