Phony Yahoo Webcam

[eskedark]

Hello
Many times when I open someone’s webcam in yahoo room, its showing video rather than showing the person on the other side. How do these people do that? Does yahoo allow you to do that? If so which version of yahoo allows that?
Thank you for your help.

I think it's the Newest one. (I don't update my Yahoo because the New one sucks... xD)

Hi Newbie,
It’s not yahoo but rather they are webcam player softwares such as fake webam or webcam simulator. People use such programs to broadcast video from their computers to yahoo webcams.
I think one of them is free. I used it long time ago.

I use fake webcam for this purpose. It’s just a tiny program that does it all.


Use fake webcam to play you pre-recorded videos on instant messengers (Yahoo, MSN, Paltalk, camfrog etc) while chatting. It can even broadcast one single movie to all the messengers at the same time. Pretend like a teenage girl or a 50 year old male, your chat mate wont be able to figure out that its not you.

It enables you to:
* Play pre-recorded videos without even having a physical webcam.
* Shared your video clips with family and firends through your instant messengers.

You can download it from

Haha, this is epic. Three fake accounts to push one product? Very elaborate, but still, the fail.

A quick google of the thread title shows just how many times this dude has been doing this.

I reported the first one explaining that it was a multi-account campaign.
