How to play videos using ManyCam with Skype

ManyCam is an intermediary software that helps solve certain problems with certain versions of Skype's DirectShow features. This free software creates a virtual webcam, which copies the currently installed video source. It then allows Skype to access that video stream without conflict.

Note : Before performing these steps, make sure that the frame grabber (a hardware device used to convert a video frame into a single still, bitmap still image) is connected to both video source and PC, have power on. Use the Epiphan Capture Tool to confirm that the video cable is connected properly and the video is being recorded.
