What CamLooper is
CamLooper turns video recordings into a virtual camera feed for video-call, streaming, and other applications that accept a webcam. It runs on Windows and Linux and supports MP4, MOV, MKV, and WebM files; users can also record in the app. A clip can play once or repeat indefinitely with clean cuts, and controls let users adjust resolution, framerate, looping, and quality. Listed compatible apps include Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, OBS Studio, Discord, Slack, Streamlabs, Skype, Webex, and Jitsi. Processing happens locally through FFmpeg, and CamLooper says it does not upload video files, require an account, or report which files are played or their contents or metadata. The app is free and ad-supported; its privacy policy says ad network metadata and anonymous impression analytics may be collected when ads appear. Windows support starts at Windows 10 version 1809; Linux requirements list several distributions for x86_64. The native macOS installer remains pending Apple Developer notarization.
