What it is

VCam is a locally powered AI meeting companion for changing webcam backgrounds and enhancing camera video. It can remove, replace, or blur backgrounds, with more than 1,000 virtual backgrounds and options to use an uploaded image, video, or Unsplash stock photo. AI auto-framing follows the user's face, while studio lighting effects brighten the feed. Pause Loop repeats the camera feed during a break so the user can return without disturbing the meeting. Nametags show a name and job title; four designs are listed, with customization described as coming soon. VCam lists compatibility with Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Discord, OBS Studio, and specialized software such as NCR's TellerNow, and its virtual camera can be used across multiple platforms at once. VCam says processing runs on the user's device and camera-feed data is not sent to its servers. Starter is free, but includes a watermark and up to 500MB storage. Personal costs $48 a year; Business costs $72 a year per user. Recommended systems are Windows 10 or higher and macOS Ventura 13.1 or higher.
