Full DirectShow compatibility

Webcam for Remote Desktop is fully compatible with DirectX. As a result it supports a wide range of software and hardware. It€s possible to use not only webcams as image source but also any DirectShow compatible hardware including video capture cards and ID scanners.

Works with any instant messengers and other video applications
