I have zero experience with DirectShow or anything related and it would take time just to understand the concepts and terminology. There are a plethora of discussions, both on SO and other sites, on building your own virtual webcam using DirectShow, but that seems a lot more costly than just buying something for a few hundered USD. Also, the only response to it implies building your own virtual webcam using DirectShow. However, the author of that post was limiting his request to free/open source solutions, while I have the option of using a commercial component (within reason). How to transmit with a virtual webcam driver in. One of the closer questions to this that I found on stackoverflow is here:
I have submitted a request to get access to SkypeKit but have not yet received a response on that.īeyond support within the Skype API, our next thought was that there must be virtual webcam components out there for download/purchase that would allow us to play a video so that Skype believes it is coming from a webcam. Within the Skype API, there is another version called SkypeKit which supposedly provides some different features than their standard Desktop API. It is relatively easy to create an IM chat "bot" for this, and it appears there is an existing Skype API for playing an audio file over a call, but there is no API for playing a video file. I have been asked to create a Skype "auto-responder" for use in a demo environment that supports audio and video calls, as well as IM chat.
Right now I am focusing on the immediate technical issue of feeding a video file to Skype. Note: We are aware of the challenges of getting a video auto-responder to work smoothly and look good, but this question is not about that. I have looked in quite a few places both in SO and elsewhere but nothing seems to directly answer my question (at least not using terms I am familiar with).
