At a glance
Webcam for Remote Desktop is a software that allows you to work with local webcam in a remote desktop environment. The program streams high-quality video with low latency making it possible to perform video calls and conferences, stream video, set up machine vision systems and much more in the remote desktop session.
How does it work?
The program consists of two parts, Server and Workstation.
The Workstation is installed on the local computer where the camera is physically plugged in. The Server should be installed on the remote side (remote desktop server, VDI, distant computer or cloud instance). Once you are logged into remote session, your local video input device will become accessible on the remote side. Webcam for Remote Desktop Server creates virtual camera on the remote side, receives video data from the local hardware camera and directs it into the virtual one.
As a result, any application that expects for a video stream is able to get it from a virtual webcam.
Works with any video devices
Thanks to support for DirectShow (DirectX) Webcam for Remote Desktop is compatible with a wide variety of video input devices, including, but not limited to: webcams, video capture cards, ID scanners and machine vision cameras.

Built with security in mind
Webcam for Remote Desktop takes care of your confidential information safety. If you work in a multi-user environment and there are more then one user logged in, your local webcam will be isolated from others within your individual remote session. No one but you can use your camera or even see your it in the system.
