Camera is active with only one program at a time #21
Comments
In short: not a bug, at least not a bug of this driver. If you need some more details: that's "by design", this questionable "feature" was introduced at some point in windows 7. You can't have multiple processes accessing the same physical camera in this and later versions of this amusing OS. |
Oh wow that's disappointing. Thanks for the explanation though! |
np, the only solution for this problem I know of is to use some camera multiplier software. |
I'm pretty duper sure that exclusive access was always a thing with directshow since the beginning And it's not really clear what you think that link above is about. |
For example, if OBS is accessing the camera then Teams/Zoom will not display the camera output. I have to completely exit any program accessing the camera if I want to use it in a specific program.
