Magic Camera, sometimes known as Magic Camera virtual webcam, is an application for Microsoft Windows to generate virtual webcams on Windows, which can be used to stream files/screens as webcam, or create webcam effects on physical webcam. Since the first release of Magic Camera on 20 March 2006, its author ShiningMorning Soft has maintained and kept the product shareware.

Many Instant Messengers can only read webcams in video chats, however, Magic Camera removes this limitation, it supports many hardware, such as (HD) webcams, digital cameras, TV/video capture cards, DVs, camcorders, IP cameras (DirectShow), add visual effects on the video, and then stream the videos to instant messengers.
