Description
Transform your camera on supported meeting websites using a consented reference image and an AI-generated video label. Virtual CAM — Real-Time AI Avatars from Consented Reference Images Virtual CAM helps users create a live AI avatar using their webcam and a reference image. It is designed for creative demonstrations, avatar presentations, and exploring AI video transformations with the permission of the person shown in the reference image. WHAT VIRTUAL CAM DOES Virtual CAM transforms the appearance of a live webcam stream based on a user-selected reference image. The generated avatar follows the live speaker’s facial expressions, lip movements, blinking, and head movements. Users can view their original camera feed alongside the AI-generated video preview. The output is an AI transformation, and its appearance and motion accuracy may vary depending on lighting, camera quality, internet connectivity, and the selected model. REFERENCE IMAGES AND PERMISSION Users may upload a photograph of themselves or an image of another adult who has explicitly agreed to its use for AI avatar generation. Permission must cover using the image to create an animated AI representation. Possession of a photograph does not automatically mean the user has permission to use the person’s likeness. Virtual CAM is intended for transparent, consent-based use. Users must not use it to impersonate someone without permission, mislead viewers about who is speaking, or bypass identity-verification systems. When sharing the generated video, users should clearly tell viewers that it is an AI avatar. HOW TO USE VIRTUAL CAM 1. Open Virtual CAM from the extension icon. 2. Complete any required service-access configuration. 3. Click Start camera and grant webcam permission. 4. Choose a reference image you are authorized to use. 5. Select the available AI model and enter a transformation prompt. 6. Click Connect and transform to start the AI-generated preview. 7. Click Stop when the session is finished. MAIN FEATURES • Live webcam input and AI-generated video preview. • User-selected reference image for avatar appearance. • Transformation prompts to describe the desired result. • Selection between the AI models available in the interface. • Side-by-side input and output viewing. • Full-screen output preview. • User controls to start and stop the session. CLOUD PROCESSING AND REQUIREMENTS Virtual CAM uses Decart’s cloud-based AI service to process video. An active internet connection, a working webcam, webcam permission, and valid service access are required. During a transformation session, webcam video and the selected reference image are transmitted to the AI service for processing. A transformation prompt is also sent when provided. Service access may require an account, an access token, and available paid credits. Installing the extension does not include unlimited AI processing. VIDEO AND AUDIO Virtual CAM transforms video. It does not clone or transform the speaker’s voice. The browser preview does not automatically become a camera that other applications can select. Sending the output to a meeting application requires a separately supported virtual-camera setup. INTENDED USES • Presenting with an authorized AI avatar. • Demonstrating real-time AI video transformation. • Exploring creative avatar appearances. • Creating consent-based visual demonstrations. PRIVACY Webcam and reference-image processing are central to the avatar feature. Please read the linked privacy policy for details about the data processed, third-party services, storage, retention, and contact information. Only use reference images with the depicted person’s permission, and clearly disclose AI-generated video to viewers.
