Webcam Bug and additional features

Sun Jul 26, 2015 7:59 am

First of all I want to say thanks to Bandisoft for creating a masterpiece recording software! Keep up the good work :D

First thing I wanted to point out is the option "Preview webcam on the screen/Enable preview toggle hotkey" (which is Tab in my case.). In a particular game I was playing (Cabal Online), when I pressed Tab to show the webcam overlay while recording, it didn't really work. The overlay showed up, but it was just a grey rectangle in the bottom right corner without the live webcam footage. I am going to try doing that again and posting a screenshot, but I wonder if it's the games problem or Bandicam's...

Also, I think that webcam overlay function has a lot more potential to it! For example, it would be awesome if you could move the overlay wherever you wanted while recording or turning it on/off during recording. And it would make editing a lot easier if there was an option to split the webcam footage from the main video.

Just my suggestions ;)

My specs:

CPU > AMD FX-8320
GPU > XFX Radeon HD 7870 DD
Ram > 8GB
PSU > OCZ MKIII 500W
MOBO > Asus M5A97 R2.0

Same here with a logitech C525, all I see in the preview window is a blank/gray rectangle (tried in several games like Skyforge, Diablo III etc) so it is totally unusable at the moment :(

Please fix, thanks in advance :D

Just to let u know, the overlay does work in Minecraft, but not in any other games I tried. It might be because overlay works on OpenGL (Minecraft), but not with DirectX (every other game I tried)?

Thank you! :D

Oh yeah and my webcam is Logitech C920.

I'm using bandicam 2.3.1.840 on windows 10 and still experiencing this problem with SWTOR (star wars the old republic). I don't have problems with other games only this one. As described above, it still records my webcam I just can't see it on the screen while I'm recording, I only get a grey box where it'd normally go.

I can confirm that with version 2.3.1 the overlay now works in Cabal Online. :) I haven't tested it in other games yet tho, but this is good enough for me right now.

As for the others, I'm not sure what the problem is, maybe I will test it in SWTOR and other games myself so we will see.

Thank you Bandisoft for being so interactive with your clients, you rock! :D

We've tried Skyforge.
But, we could record the webcam screen without any problem.
You may change the webcam location.

We will keep an eye on this issue.
