What is Webcam for Remote Desktop

The most convenient solution for redirecting local webcams to a remote desktop session.
Available for Windows and Linux.

Background

Before Webcam for Remote Desktop was developed, there was no alternative way to work with local webcams within a remote desktop. You couldn't redirect locally plugged webcam to your remote session. FabulaTech offers you software that will make your work with local webcam in a remote desktop environment possible. The program allows video stream feeding with low latency and doesn't require any settings.

How it works

The program is easy to work with. Install the Workstation part on your local computer and the Server part on the remote side. That is all it takes. Supporting both Microsoft RDP and Citrix ICA the program creates a virtual webcam on the remote side so it gets the video stream directly from the webcam plugged into your local computer.

With Webcam for Remote Desktop you can use local webcams in remote Windows session.
Secure

Secure and separate access

Since the feeding of a video stream is performed on a high level, webcams are isolated within each users' individual sessions. It means that only you can have access to your webcam. No one but you are able to see it in the system.

Webcam auto selection mode

This mode allows avoiding the necessity to select a webcam for redirection every time. The feature is particularly useful when you have to login to the same session from different computers. The program redirects a webcam which is physically available. If there is more then one webcam available, the program redirects the last plugged in webcam to your session.
