Virtual webcam input as byte stream
I dont have webcam. And I want to implement virtual webcam (or fake device driver may be) that would work as normal webcam(virtual webcam) and takes memory stream or bytes as input. How can I develop this? Can DirectShow be helpful in this? I dont know anything. Please help
i have found that there are many software that takes video file as input but I want to have byte stream as input.

Here you go:
- DirectShow Source filter using Dekstop window as source

If you prefer to skip programming and to just install a virtual camera that you don't happen to have available, you can install a virtual DirectShow camera backed by an IP camera put on Internet and continue your DirectShow experience from there.
