Depending on the purpose of your stream, you might prefer different options. You can broadcast the entire contents of your desktop, a part of it, a specified window or make the camera follow the mouse cursor. We need the desktop, so activate the Desktop section. You see, the program can work with multiple sources including conventional web cameras, photo cameras, specified video files or the desktop of your system, and stream the corresponding footage as a virtual web camera output. Run SparkoCam and switch to the Device tab. To create such a camera, please follow the below steps. SparkoCam creates a virtual web camera transmitting to any compatible application everything happening at your desktop in real-time. And with SparkoCam all of these can be accomplished in few clicks. You can stream presentations, application tutorials and bug reports, you can broadcast movies or share your web surfing experience. But what am I saying - Nikon connectivity software is stuck in the 90s.Broadcasting of what is going on at your desktop through the webcam is a very popular trend now. It occurs to me that Nikon could supply software to do this, and thereby promote another use for 'real' cameras. Having said that, when/If they become available again, I will pick up the Elagato 4k HDMI adapter that sells for just over 100$.Įdit to add: Oh, another option that did work but was crappy output, an 'alpha' version of CameraLIve now supports the Zs, that and 'TwistCam' to read the CameraLive Syphon output and then use 'TwistCam' as the web cam source. Good light and good sound are most important anyway. Also things like OBS can output as virtual web cam if you can figure out a way to use the Z as input, but both are way more capable than my simple needs to video conference for work. Like you, I can make do with the crappy camera built into my monitor, but Ecamm does work well. Just the cable that came with the Z's will work, no need for any HDMI adapter. Its more expensive ( also more capable ) than Sparkocam, but 'Ecamm' can now take the Z bodies as input and their more expensive option has a virtual web cam output. Maybe a version for $20 without all the bells and whistles? I'd only have occasional use for it and I can get by with my Chromebook. I guess I'm just complaining about the price. Which really isn't a 'watermark' but a floating graphic. While in Zoom I don't see any way to reposition the window and get rid of the enormous watermark. I just installed SparkoCam and it seems to work well, Zoom recognizes it, although I still have to add a mic and sync the audio. Yes I recall there was a $100 HDMI adapter, but it was out of stock everywhere.

Sparkocam no watermark
