Webcam Managers Apps and Alternatives

Webcams are video capture devices connected to a Mac, often using an USB port or, if connected to a network, ethernet or Wi-Fi.

Webcam managers will offer their users the option to record videos broadcasted using their devices, either automatically or manually, when and if motion is detected.

One will also be able to apply effects to a webcam stream whenever they use such a device for chatting purposes.

A special feature of webcam managers is that some of them are also capable of functioning as fake webcams, displaying a previously recorded video or animated image as if it were a live transmission.
