CamLooper
What it is
CamLooper is a free Windows and Linux app that turns video recordings into a virtual camera feed for video calls, streaming, and other webcam-compatible software. Clips can play once or loop indefinitely with clean cuts. Supported formats include MP4, MOV, MKV, and WebM, and the app can record video. Users can adjust resolution, framerate, looping, and quality options. CamLooper lists Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, OBS Studio, Discord, Slack, Streamlabs, Skype, Webex, and Jitsi as compatible applications. Processing runs locally through FFmpeg; the app says files are not uploaded, no account is required, and it does not report played files or their contents or metadata. The free plan costs nothing and is supported by in-app ads. When ads appear, third-party ad-network metadata and anonymous impression analytics may be collected. Windows 10 version 1809 or later, Windows 11, and several x86_64 Linux distributions are listed.

The verdict
CamLooper provides a straightforward virtual-camera feed with looping, recording, and adjustable output settings. Its local processing and broad app compatibility are balanced by advertising and the absence of a native macOS installer.
Who it suits
It suits people who need prerecorded clips as webcam feeds for calls, streams, or meetings. Windows and Linux users can use local processing without creating an account.
