Refer to this.
You should install a virtual webcam device on PC work with IP Webcam.
If you succeed to make it working on skype, then should work on wakaru.

Yes I already did that, but I think I have multiple webcam devices, I don't know how to disable it cause it's not visible in Device Manager and Device and Printers.

It seems like even I press [Change Camera] it keep getting source from Facerig Virtual Camera.

Maybe the version is too old.
How about just uninstall it ?

I tried DroidCam and it did work.
And you can disable it in Device Manager .

I tried with DroidCam, it didn't work,
seems like it keep getting source from Facerig Virtual Camera.

if I disable Facerig Virtual Camera from device manager, it appears just orange screen. Keep clicking change camera and nothing happens.

The orange screen is DroidCam's . So the device can be found . But I dont know why cant be input. Maybe multi virtual camera devices will conflict each other.

I suggest on next update to put Dropdown instead of button for Change Camera, so we can choose available devices.

Actually, It's no help with this case.
The version now is looping the devices list.
However, the way unity select webcam by pointing the device "name".
Sometimes the device has no name but still in the devices list.
The only way to use the device is that, to remove others by device manager to make the only device being default.
A dropdown will just show a non-name device in list and can't be select.
Older version of unity has other methods to point device not only by name.
But those seem being removed in newer version.
So this bug have to wait unity to fix it.

ah you're right, WebcamDevice class only have name and isFrontFacing variable.
But I see WebcamTexture can show devices list and have installed webcam device name.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ja/current/ScriptReference/WebCamTexture-devices.html

I think like this,
> Make dropdown
> Fill dropdown value with WebCamTexture.devices
> and then set WebCamDevice.name = WebCamTexture[selectedDropdown];

Yep, that is same to my code now.
webCamDevice = WebCamTexture.devices [selectedDeviceIndex];
webCamTexture = new WebCamTexture (webCamDevice.name, ....);
The point is when webCamDevice.name is "" , an empty string.
It can't be used and can't be modified.

Did you use webcam with wakaru and the other program at same time?

[えいえいっ! 怒った?]

These are the possibilities that to make webcam not work.
1. The webcam is in using by other program.
2. The webcam device has no name in unity, in this case, need to remove other webcams to make this one be the only device, and it should work.
3. For some reason, unity dont support this webcam. Try to update the driver.

I just figured out how to apply pre-recorded videos there instead of my web cam, but the audio for such came out kind of choppy. Wish I could get my web cam to work. Will try to deactivate my virtual web cam via the task manager.

Update! Wow I got it working and didn't have to do much. Somehow after restarting my PC and going to that orange little box after clicking Change Web cam it worked.

Update! I understand now why it didn't work the first time I tried. After clicking the 'Change' button. The cam area goes from black, to orange. I then clicked the 'Change' button again and this time it went from orange to my Logitech HD1080p web cam. Presto! it activated it. So it must be click multiple times depending on how many web cams you have tied to your PC.

Will try to repeat the method again and share a tutorial videos of the experience. I'm also working on the importing of my own 3D models to customize my own. I hope that process runs smooth. Just downloaded Unity. Peep the http://wakaru.eyeyokotta.com/doc/import_mmd_models site location to learn how to perform that part. Good luck peeps!
