Virtual Webcam
Overview
Virtual Webcam is a software program developed by SMI. The most common release is 1.0.2.63, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 17 files and is usually about 6.45 MB (6,765,332 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10.
