StreamYard Does Not Recognize My Virtual Webcam

Unable to select your Virtual Webcam as a camera option in StreamYard? This likely means that your browser is unable to access this camera. We recommend trying the steps below if this happens:

  1. Try opening a private window in your browser and accessing your camera there. 
  2. Update your browser and restart it fully. 
  3. Try using a different browser to access the camera (Firefox instead of Google Chrome and vice versa).
  4. Check to make sure the virtual camera software is updated to the latest version. 
  5. Some virtual web camera software also requires restarting your computer after first installing it. So if you've just installed your virtual web camera, try restarting your computer!
