Reviewed by: CNET Staff
ManyCam is the freeware tool for you if you use both CamFrog and ICQ, or any other video chat program, and you want to use them simultaneously. It creates a "virtual" Webcam that replicates your currently installed camera. It then lets multiple applications access the video stream without conflict.
ManyCam is compatible with Yahoo, MSN, CamFrog, PalTalk, ICQ, Skype, YouTube, and more. Once you've installed ManyCam, you need to set ManyCam as the primary input for program that you want to use. ManyCam will automatically start when activate your Webcam through that program. The application includes a bunch of gimmicky features that let you change aspects of the background and foreground. You can map a new pair of cartoon eyes over your face, and they track pretty well to your movements, or you can show that your life is hell by replacing the background with flames.
There is an unfortunate toolbar that will install unless you opt out during setup, but other than that ManyCam is worthy of a Webcam Oscar for cool and useful tech.
Publisher's description

Version: ManyCam Virtual Webcam 1.1.1825
"Driver not compatible for XP, Spyware, Program itself locks up"
Pros: If it worked as stated would be ok I have to give it at least one star if I could it would be a minus for the problem I now have with my computer.
Cons: Program wants to spy on user got alerts on Firewall one for the program and one for spyware. Drivers not compatiable with xp warning flag will show. Locks up the program when try and use it, locks up computer, computer will not shut down normal. I should have paid attention to my fiewall and spyware programs.
