Alloha! 
I’m trying to figure out how to get a Web Cam to play on a UI image as I have WAY more control over layout, so far all I have been able to find is how to get a web cam to play on a plane.
Is there a way to get something like this onto a UI.Image that can be positioned onto a canvas?
It’s easy my friend. Use RawImage instead of Image. Add Unlit/Texture material to material property of RawImage. And use this code to play WebCam video on it:
public class PlayMovieTextureOnUI : MonoBehaviour
{
public RawImage rawimage;
void Start ()
{
WebCamTexture webcamTexture = new WebCamTexture();
rawimage.texture = webcamTexture;
rawimage.material.mainTexture = webcamTexture;
webcamTexture.Play();
}
}
Hi @Max-Bot Would you possible be able to help with getting more than one web cam to be accessed?
UPDATE:
Never mind, I figured it out. I tweaked this code to also display a UI Text to display the current camera in use.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine;
public class IDwebCams : MonoBehaviour {
public RawImage rawimage;
WebCamTexture webCamTexture;
public Text webCamDisplayText;
void Start ()
{
WebCamDevice[] cam_devices = WebCamTexture.devices;
// for debugging purposes, prints available devices to the console
for (int i = 0; i < cam_devices.Length; i++)
{
print ("Webcam available: " + cam_devices *.name);*
}*
}*
//CAMERA 01 SELECT*
public void GoWebCam01()*
{*
WebCamDevice[] cam_devices = WebCamTexture.devices;*
// for debugging purposes, prints available devices to the console*
for (int i = 0; i < cam_devices.Length; i++)*
{*
print ("Webcam available: " + cam_devices .name);
* }*
* webCamTexture = new WebCamTexture(cam_devices[0].name, 480, 640, 30);
_ rawimage.texture = webCamTexture;_
_ if(webCamTexture != null)_
_ {_
_ webCamTexture.Play();_
_ Debug.Log("Web Cam Connected : "+webCamTexture.deviceName + "
");_
_ } _
webCamDisplayText.text = "Camera Type: " + cam_devices [0].name.ToString();
_ }_
_ //CAMERA 02 SELECT*_
* public void GoWebCam02()*
* {*
* WebCamDevice cam_devices = WebCamTexture.devices;
_ // for debugging purposes, prints available devices to the console*_
* for (int i = 0; i < cam_devices.Length; i++)
_ {_
print ("Webcam available: " + cam_devices .name);
_ }*_
* webCamTexture = new WebCamTexture(cam_devices[1].name, 480, 640, 30);
_ rawimage.texture = webCamTexture;
if(webCamTexture != null)
{
webCamTexture.Play();
Debug.Log("Web Cam Connected : "+webCamTexture.deviceName + "
");
}_
webCamDisplayText.text = "Camera Type: " + cam_devices [1].name.ToString();
_ }
}*_
Hi,
Just want to add that, it will not work when level is reloaded. For it to work you need to stop it before reloading level by using below code line:
webcamTexture.Stop();
It seems WebCamTexture can only detect physical webcams, but how to do you make it use virtual webcams?
I want to use OBS (Welcome | OBS) or any other “virtual camera” video stream, how can you select this?
