# Scenes to be used:
1. Protect the privacy of the camera and prevent some apps from maliciously taking pictures.
2. Live Assistant. Similar to OBS, but may be better than OBS, can be used for Twitch, Youtube, Facebook, etc.
3. Entertainment among friends. How fun it would be to record a hilarious video to prank your friends.
> A lightweight, open-source virtual camera app for Android, designed to empower developers and streamers with real-time video effects, filters, and device simulation.

## 🌟 Overview

# QA:
**If you are the owner of an APP,How to detect if you don’t want your APP to run in VCamera?**
VCamera is based on a virtual machine, so you can detect whether it is currently running in a virtual machine environment.

Here "isPathReallyExist < 0" means it running in a virtual machine.
If "isPathReallyExist = 0" means it running in a real device.
**VCamera** allows users to use their smartphone as a virtual webcam for streaming, video calls, and content creation. Built with **Android CameraX**, it ensures high performance, low latency, and compatibility across devices.

This project is actively being developed with a long-term roadmap from **2025 to 2027**.
