FaceRig on Skype tutorial

[HanzBulwark]

This is a quick tutorial on how to use FaceRig on Skype.

1. Launch FaceRig
2. Click on toggle broadcast
3. Launch Skype
4. Click on Tools
5. Click on Video settings under General options
6. Click on Select webcam
7. Choose FaceRig Virtual Cam
8. Click on Save

Then you're good to go.

PS. Can anyone please make a tutorial on how to use FaceRig on Omegle or Chatroullete?

also make note for windows 8 users, it would be better if you had skype for desktop not the windows 8 app of skype

Doesn't work with the microphone settings right?
Still, this is fun to use on Skype XP
Thanks!

I have no option in skype under the video settings to select:
7. Choose FaceRigh Virtual Ca,
Just says my cam is in use by another program?

You need to restart Skype after installing FaceRig. It is in the manual :).

For chat roulette/ omegle regarding the black screen issue, the most usual problem is that folks usually forget to enable browser access to the Virtual Webcam from the buttons that pop up in the browser right under the address bar, and then to toggle it off and on from the Omegle interface (they only enable access from the Flash player settings, which is not enough, and don't do the on/off toggle after allowing its access from both flash AND the top browser buttons).

So if these steps are not taken, omegle will only display a black screen. Then to force it to work in omegle, folks have opted install a third party software called manycam which does the job for some, but for others it can cause further conflicts with webcam sources and more crashes occur.

Yep never mind I worked that out and rebooted it lol.

Thank you for the quick reply, loving it so far. Just did a skype session with a friend worked fairly well. :D

If you're running Windows 8, You need to make sure you're running Skype for Desktop, NOT Skype for Windows Modern. The instructions above will not match Skype for Windows Modern.

I run Windows 7. I reinstalled FaceRig and it worked.

I have noticed that when running on Skype, although this may be my own error, that it copies my facial expressions but copies the speech of the person on the other end. Windows 8 Lenovo on my end and a mobile device on theirs.

oh my god, thank you i've been looking for how to do this for atleast a week

[Ryusuta]

Ugh... I'm still not able to get it working. Skype just won't identify Facerig.

I shut down Skype, uninstalled FaceRig, reinstalled it, started it up and started Skype again, and that didn't fix it. No matter what order I start the programs, Skype's video settings don't see FaceRig as a camera...

(Windows 7 x64, if it's relevant.)

[Rabid]

did you click the broadcast button in facerig before launching skype Ryusuta?

1. Launch FaceRig
2. Click on toggel broadcast
3. Launch Skype

I've already done that. Sorry, I didn't add that I toggled Broadcast before launching Skype.

EDIT: I'm a derp. The scroll bar was so tiny, I didn't think to scroll up. I've fixed it now. =)

Awesome.
Cannot wait until it's more optimised, dying to be able to export videos. Amusing me much more than I expected it would.
