ManyCam 2.6.43 for Windows is now available for download.  This new version now allows static backgrounds again.  We had to remove the static background features due to licensing issues, but now they are back and we hope to bring back dynamic backgrounds again also.

We carefully reviewed your feedback to our helpdesk and found a problem where ManyCam would sometimes not work properly with some Adobe Flash sites and fixed it.  We also reviewed other smaller problems some users were experiencing and fixed those too.

This is a minor release but we are working on a major release with major new features that is months away.

ManyCam 2.6.55 for Windows is now available for download!

This new ManyCam version fixes a problem some users were having with Skype, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Video Chat, and several other applications where the ManyCam source would not appear.  Now ManyCam may have two sources available in some applications.  If you have a choice of two ManyCam sources try using the default and if it doesn’t work for you then you can try to use the secondary source.  If neither ManyCam source will work for you please post to our Blog or email us what operating system you are using, what ManyCam version you are using, and what application you are using that won’t work with ManyCam along with its version.  To see what version of ManyCam you are using right click the icon in the bottom right notification area and choose “about”.

This new version also has many small improvements and bug fixes.

It’s easy to use ManyCam with Facebook’s new Video Chat app, and the new Google Plus Hangouts system.

To use ManyCam with Facebook Video Chat go to the bottom left of the video window and choose “ManyCam Virtual Webcam” as your video source.  You are now broadcasting through ManyCam.

While using Google Plus go to the “settings” at the bottom and choose the ManyCam Virtual Webcam.  Do not choose the other ManyCam source or it won’t work.  Next press “Save”.

If you still don’t seem to be broadcasting from ManyCam be sure you choose your video source in the ManyCam software.  Open ManyCam then go to the “Sources” tab and choose the source you want to use like your webcam, a video, or something else.

Thanks for using ManyCam!

Video Chat on Facebook and Google Plus Simultaneously

Have you ever been video chatting in Google + Hangouts while someone is also trying to video chat with you simultaneously on Facebook video chat or Skype?  With ManyCam you can video chat with many webcam applications simultaneously with no problems.

ManyCam may add awesome effects to your webcam along with many other features, but one of its first features allowed the use of a webcam with many applications simultaneously.  In fact ManyCam is called ManyCam because it allows you to use your cam with many applications at once.

If you have ManyCam installed on your computer you can video chat with Skype, while on Facebook Video Chat, while on Google Plus, while on Chatroulette, while on MSN Messenger and more!  To make this work be sure ManyCam is set up as your video source on the application you are using by visiting our applications instruction page.

Once ManyCam is setup as your video source all you have to do is accept the video chat from your friend and ManyCam will take over and allow simultaneous video chatting in many applications.

Don’t have ManyCam yet?  Download ManyCam for free then set ManyCam as your application source.

Update coming for Mac OS X Lion

Before Mac OS X Lion came out we tested with the developers pre-release software and found ManyCam worked fine.  Unfortunately we only had Mac hardware with 32 bit processors so we didn’t realize there was a problem with 64 bit processors.

Our ManyCam Mac fans quickly alerted us of problems with ManyCam on 64 bit processors and the new Lion OS.  We have now purchased a 64 bit Mac and we’re working as quickly as possible on putting out an update.

Sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience.  Our Mac users are very important to us and we did test ManyCam for Lion in advance, but we neglected to test on a 64 bit processor.

If you have a 64 bit processor you should be able to run ManyCam if you restart and hold down the numbers 3 and 2 during your reboot.  We hope to have a Mac update that works with 64 bit processors available in the next 7-14 days.

ManyCam Mac and Adobe Flash 64 bit Temporary Fix

Adobe recently released a Flash update that caused ManyCam for Mac to stop working for some Macs with 64 bit processors.  We hope to have a software update available within 30 days that solves this problem.  Until our software update comes out you can run your Mac browser in 32 bit mode to solve the issue.

32 bit mode browser instructions

1.  Launch the finder and open your applications folder.

2.  Select the browser you are using with ManyCam (Firefox or Safari) and control click the icon and choose “get info” or hold down the “command” key and then the letter i.

3.  In the info panel check “open in 32 bit mode”.  Close the info panel and then launch the browser and it will then be running in 32 bit mode and this should allow ManyCam to work normally until we release a fix within the next 30 days.

Thanks for using ManyCam.  We hope to have a fix out soon for our Mac users.

ManyCam 3.0 (Windows) has arrived!

We are excited to finally announce ManyCam 3.0 for Windows.  This major new ManyCam release has awesome new features including a Pro video switcher under the new “Studio Pro” tab, a new “Audio” tab with audio sound effects and a voice changer, HD video support for broadcasting, the ability to record video and audio to your hard drive (free), major frames per second increases, resizable picture in picture, and awesome new audio and webcam effects in our effects library.  I’m sure you also noticed that we updated our entire ManyCam website.

Download ManyCam 3.0 now!

Pro Video Switcher – ManyCam’s Pro Video Switcher allows you to easily switch between multiple audio or video sources.  Go to the “Studio Pro” tab and click “Add Video Source” under source #2.  Now you can easily switch between video sources.  Click “cut” to quickly cut to another source and “trans” to add a cool transition effect between sources.  You can also click “preview” to view your video in a larger video window before switching if you are a ManyCam Pro user.  Upgrading to ManyCam Pro also allows you to have full access to all 6 video sources.  You can use one video source as another webcam, another as your desktop so users can see how you are using your computer, another as a movie, a TV card, and any other type of source that’s available in ManyCam.

ManyCam Audio Effects – ManyCam now supports audio along with new audio effects.  Change your voice into a robot voice, or add an awesome environment to make it sound like you are in a concert hall.  Upgrade to ManyCam Pro to mix different audio sources simultaneously.  Play music in the background while you talk on mic.  Pro users also get access to other cool audio effects like “alien” or “phone”.  You can broadcast your ManyCam audio through any application like Skype, Youtube, Justin.tv and all others, just follow our ManyCam application guide.

HD Video Support – Do you use ManyCam with an HD webcam and an HD software like Skype, Youtube, Ustream, or Oovoo that supports HD video?  Now ManyCam also supports HD video broadcasting.  To broadcast in HD make sure you are using an HD webcam then go to the “Video” tab and then under “Image Settings” find the pull-down menu that says “No force size”.  Now choose an HD resolution there that your video hardware supports like 1280 X 720.  Now you’re broadcasting in HD!  You can broadcast your ManyCam HD video through any HD application by following our ManyCam application guide.

Record to Hard Drive – Now ManyCam allows you to record video to your hard drive.  Go to the “Studio Pro” tab and click the “Rec” button at the bottom left.  Once you record a video you can choose to use it as a video source inside ManyCam under “Studio Pro”.  We currently allow saving video in the new open WebM format.  WebM is supported by most modern browsers and Youtube, and you can use video converters to convert the video to other formats.  We’re working hard to add more video saving formats to ManyCam ASAP due to user requests.

New Pro Webcam & Audio Effects – Check out our new ManyCam Effects page.  ManyCam Pro users get access to even more cool audio and video effects.  ManyCam users can still create their own custom effects and submit their effects to our library as always.

Upgrade to ManyCam Pro – ManyCam still has all the same free features you are used to having, plus more free features like video recording, audio features, basic webcam switching and much more!  If you plan to use ManyCam a lot then we recommend you upgrade to ManyCam Pro.  ManyCam Pro allows you to unlock all video sources with the “Studio Pro” tab, remove the ManyCam Studio Pro watermark on the second video source, preview your video before switching it live, activate ManyCam audio effects and audio mixing, plus get access to ALL our new Pro video and audio effects!  Upgrading to ManyCam Pro supports future software development and features.

ManyCam also has hundreds of new small features added to our 3.0 software.  We are working hard to continue improving the software and adding more features.  Please let us know what features you think we should add in the comments of this Blog.  Due to changes in the Mac OS X Lion OS we are having trouble making a new version of our Mac software but we’re trying our best and we have not forgotten the Mac users.

We waited a while to officially announce ManyCam 3.0 to make sure everything would go smoothly for users but if you are having a problem with the 3.0 update please contact us so we can collect logs from you and fix your problem.  We’d like to thank all our ManyCam 3.0 users who helped us fix problems and release several updates before we officially announced the software to the world.

Thanks for all your support and we hope you enjoy this major new software update.

Sincerely, The ManyCam Team
