WebcamEffects : Use the built-in camera to make snapshots which can be personalized with scary or funny effects, masks or backgrounds, as well as broadcast live videos on Twitch or Livestream
WebcamEffects is a feature-rich application designed to offer a fun and easy method to customize images taken with the built-in or external cameras and personalize them with default masks, hats or frames, as well as record or stream a video using your Twitch, Livestream or Ustream account.
Capture yourself using the connected webcam
The program is wrapped in a clean and neat interface, consisting of the real-time window with six separate tabs: "Effects", "Sources", "Snapshot", "Options", "Broadcast" and "Security".
Configure the video and broadcasting settings
For the menu, you can select the desired video and audio source, set the frame rate, and configure the video settings (e.g. brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, gamma, exposure, zoom, focus). Plus, if you want to take a break from your streaming, you have the option to insert an image or a short clip over your video.
Create funny and scary pictures
Some of the offered filters are animation, bathroom, bubbles, dynamic swirl and shadow. You can also flip the screen vertically or horizontally. In order to apply the background properly, you have to be out of the screenshot.The masks function auto detects your eyes, ears, hair or nose using the camera, applying the default objects more or less accurately. The mask category also contains a wide variety of glasses, 3D faces, hats or wigs to personalize yourself with.
Take a snapshot in seconds and enable the security function
In addition, frames, avatars, static and dynamic objects, date and time, and text can be inserted to customize the background in unique ways. The "Snapshot" tab lets you capture the screen and save the output to a default location on the PC. As a security measure, you can enable the movement detection feature, which takes a screenshot with the face of the intruder.
Entertaining video streamer and editor
To sum it up, WebcamEffects is a reliable utility that comes in handy when you want to broadcast a game or a meeting using your personal Twitch, Livestream and Ustream account, take screenshots using the camera and apply effects, masks and objects.
