About CamLooper

Last updated: 2026-10-29

CamLooper is fake webcam software. It turns any recording into a seamless virtual camera for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS, Discord, Slack and every other app that reads a webcam. You drop in a video (MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM), choose loop and quality options, press Start, and pick "CamLooper Virtual Camera" in the app you are using.

What it does

  • Registers as a real camera device. CamLooper appears next to your physical webcam in any app that lets you choose a camera, including browser-based meetings.
  • Loops video cleanly. Play a clip once or loop it indefinitely, at the resolution and frame rate that suit your connection.
  • Runs locally. All video processing runs on your computer through FFmpeg. Your video is never uploaded, there are no accounts, and nothing about what you play is reported.
  • Small and native. Built with Tauri, Rust and FFmpeg, so the install is small and CPU use is low.

Who it's for

CamLooper is for people who need a prepared, repeatable video in place of a live camera feed:

  • Presenters and demos: roll a pre-recorded intro or play a prepared clip as your camera.
  • Streamers and creators: feed loops into OBS as a camera source for intros, be-right-back scenes or product B-roll.
  • Educators and trainers: show pre-recorded lectures, worked examples or lab footage inside a live class call without switching windows.
  • QA and developers: give an app a deterministic, repeatable camera feed for computer-vision testing and demo environments.

What CamLooper is not for

CamLooper is not a cheating tool. Don't use it for proctored exams, identity or KYC verification, job interviews, or to impersonate anyone. It exists so you can loop a prepared video as your camera feed.

How you use CamLooper is your responsibility alone. Your school's rules, your employer's, your platform's terms of service and the law where you live all still apply. See our Terms of Use.

How CamLooper is funded

CamLooper costs nothing to download and use, and it is supported by ads. In the desktop app, a banner appears across the top of the app window each time you start it, and an ad page opens in your browser about 2 seconds after the app starts, at most once every 6 hours. The ads never receive your videos.

This website also shows ads, served by Google AdSense and by our ad network, Adsterra. Our Privacy Policy explains what those ad services collect and how to opt out of personalized advertising.

CamLooper is source-available, not open source: the code is public at github.com/amitmtrn/camlooper-app under the PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 license. Personal and other noncommercial use is free, including schools and charities; commercial use needs a paid license (contact us).

Platforms

  • Windows 10 (1809+) and 11: a direct installer (.exe) that sets up the DirectShow virtual camera for you.
  • Linux: Debian and Ubuntu through our signed APT repository or a .deb package, and Fedora/RHEL through a .rpm package. The virtual camera uses v4l2loopback.
  • macOS: coming soon. The build is waiting on Apple notarization and will be posted on the download page when it's ready.

Who makes CamLooper

CamLooper is a small independent project built and maintained by one developer, Amit, the copyright holder named in CamLooper's license notice.
