ManyCam is a freeware tool that offers an excellent replacement for your physical webcam. It works by allowing both CamFrog and ICQ or any other video supporting program to run simultaneously. It supports most of the chat hosting services like Yahoo, CamFrog, MSN, ICQ, PalTalk, Skype, YouTube, and much more. It predominantly functions as the video source for the above video or chat enabling services.

This tool has an easy to use interface. Users must select ManyCam instead of iSight as the video source of their chat recording program. When you activate this program, you can record video from the iSight. With the help of this tool, you can launch both video and chatting services like Skype, SightSpeed, and Yahoo Messenger at the same time. In addition, when you are working on both the chat and video programs simultaneously, you can also access YouTube at the same time.

This tool appears as a menu bar icon once it gets installed on your system. This tool lets you display much more than your recorded videos in a camcorder or digital camera. You can display the Mac’s desktop over video chat with your peers and colleagues. You can further zoom in and zoom out the video shared through this virtual web cam. It has inbuilt features that allow you to edit / remove / add text to the video you share. This web camera displays date and time throughout your chat session. Further, you can enhance the visual appeal of your video by adding CGI graphics like water and fire effects. This tool is available for free download.
