Is there anyhow I can make pc camera concurrently accessible on windows?

Question

By default subsequent references to the camera will fail if it's already in use.

But is it possible to make the subsequent references read-only, but still can access the camera?

Answer 1

You mean like this, but to two different programs? It can be done using a virtual camera driver.

Since you're on stackoverflow, I guess you're looking for a way to do this in code. Try reading this thread on the Microsoft discussion groups

If you aren't a programmer, you should have asked on superuser instead, but try http://shareme.com/details/virtual-webcamera-splitter.html or http://multiply1cam.info/
