Setting the mood for your online Halloween party is essential, so having the right spooky webcam background can make all the difference! However, spending time trying to find the perfect image through search engines can be a bit of a chore! So, we’ve got a whole bunch here that should do the trick! Since our own program, XSplit VCam, can use videos and gifs as backgrounds, we have some extra spooky moving ones as well!
