Black Screen virtual webcam [Solved]

[Sephy]

So it recognizes me just fine in the FR itself but when i try to use Skype or Manycam it just displays a black screen. I tried it on Omegle/CR and it just broke the flash player there xD.

Win 8.1 x64

It is of any importance the dropdown for the virtual cam has "32" in it.

Yes it is of importance :). This means you most likely have to use the "nextversion" branch and manually install the new Windows 8 Virtual Webcam driver that has increased compatibility ( it is compatible with more apps than the old "32 " and "64" ones).

If you do not want to help us test the new driver, then you will have to wait a few days until we consider it tested enough to be deployed on the default branch ( so far we have no reason to think it is not good, and it has already went through an internal QA lab) .

Details about this new driver and how to install it manually (should you decide to do it) are here:
