Connect Apps

None of these apps let other apps control their camera, so MDTCam doesn't ask you to sign in to them. Here's what actually works on each one. For live effects with no setup, use an MDTCam Video Call.

Set up a virtual camera (computer only)

  1. Install the free OBS Studio.
  2. Open MDTCam Live Cam in your browser and pick your effects.
  3. In OBS, add a Window Capture source and choose the browser window. Crop to the camera area.
  4. Click Start Virtual Camera in OBS.
  5. In Zoom, Meet, WhatsApp Desktop, Messenger or Telegram Desktop, choose OBS Virtual Camera as your camera.

Voice effects don't pass through this method — only video.
