AlterCam for Windows

Screenshots

AlterCam is a free webcam video program for Windows that lets you record meetings and online game streams. You can add various effects and broadcast it live on platforms like YouTube and Skype. If you need to showcase your video on different apps, you can use the splitting function. Similar apps include Logitech HD Webcam Software and Camera for Windows 10. 

There are many effects to choose from, depending on the desired impact on your video. The top ones are blur, mosaic and combine. While you can add layers under and over the recording, it doesn’t let you make your own effect. If there’s something specific you need, you can contact the developer to create it for you.

Record on your PC

There may be times when you want to stream your facial expressions while broadcasting games or attend meetings online. While you have a webcam to perform the recordings, it doesn’t always come with special effects and modes. AlterCam adds to your device’s installed software so that you have more filters to enjoy.

One of the top features is that it splits your video over various platforms simultaneously. That means you can attend a meeting on Skype while broadcasting it on YouTube.

Included effects

There are over 50 effects in AlterCam’s library. The blur effect makes the image unclear so that the audience can see you are there but without the finer details. For an alternative, you can use the mosaic option that divides the image into small blocks. You can also combine various effects to give your audience a good laugh.

Adding layers

You can decide how much quality you want your webcam to project. There are layers you can use, like in Photoshop, where you determine which filters and effects take precedence over others. You can easily move them around while recording if you change your mind.

Improve your webcam capabilities

AlterCam is incredible for improving your webcam’s recordings and adding special effects. While there’s a massive library included, you can contact the developer if you need something specific. You can also split the video to broadcast on different platforms if one isn’t enough.

Another benefit is that the app receives regular updates. Some of the latest ones include new effects, hardware acceleration, and improved overlays.
