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.

Version: ManyCam Virtual Webcam 2.1.9678
Pros: It's incredible how hard it was to find a simple cam device duplicater with a live text overlay function...
Cons: if anytying, my cam quality got noticeably lower, if anyone knows a program that can put text over a real time webcam video with equal to original vid quality, please tell me, but other than that, this program is awesome!

Version: ManyCam Virtual Webcam 2.1.9678
"I got surprised how good it was"
Pros: + Easy to use
+ Really fun
+ Totally free!
+ Really really fun
Cons: - Doesn't work as good on Vista even though it's supported. Could be just this computer (even though it's brand new, I tried 2 different webcams).
- The registration-key doesn't get saved in Vista, i had to input it every time.
- No Help or Support on the webpage and they've never answered my mails about Vista.
