Removing The Background

XSplit VCam's AI is designed to completely remove the background in your camera, without the need for a greenscreen.

For best results, make sure you are in a well lit room, to make it easier for VCam to tell you apart from the background.

Click the Remove button to the right. You will notice the background surrounding you will turn dark. This indicates that the background has been effectively removed.

This setting is best used in situations where you would like to avoid the square background from your camera so you can place yourself seamlessly in front of an existing background (e.g. Presentations)

Here's an example of XSplit VCam's remove background feature in action, when adding VCam as the camera source on top of your presentation using your favorite Mac video streaming/recording app (like OBS)

Adding/Replacing the Background

You can use XSplit VCam to replace your camera's background.

Team Backgrounds

For users who got their XSplit license through Team Licensing, your organization may require you to use specific backgrounds for VCam during your meetings. These backgrounds are set by your Team License Manager and should appear in the Team Backgrounds section of the app.
