If you don’t want co-workers getting an inside look into your home, snag a lifetime subscription to XSplit VCam Premium for over 50% off. This handy Mac app lets you remove or replace your background during video calls and meetings.

Take control of your image during video calls

If you find yourself clocking more video call meetings than ever, you’re not the only one. A shocking 76% of employees use video conferencing for remote work. And while co-workers getting an inside look into your home has become in many ways the new normal, it can be less than desirable. An XSplit VCam Premium Lifetime Subscription helps give you some privacy by removing, blurring or even replacing your background during live streams, video calls or online meetings.

With the rise of working from home, you’ve probably noticed a lot of co-workers revamping their remote-work setup — including investing in expensive green screens or other physical backgrounds while on work calls. This solidly 4/5-star tool is the the perfect way to upgrade your at-home meeting setup.

Great for work-from-home setups

XSplit VCam offers cutting-edge background replacement, removal and blurring that works across any webcam. And it does it all without the need to invest in any outside material or complicated lighting setups. For folks limited on space to begin with, this is a nice way of professionalizing your background without taking up too much room in your home.

All you need to do is open up your app of choice. (This tool works with streaming apps such as Open Broadcaster Software, aka OBS, Streamlabs and XSplit.) Then add XSplit VCam as your camera source.

Not only does it work with all major video chat applications and conferencing solutions, making it ideal for remote work, virtual interviews, meetings or teaching, but it’s also a great choice if you’re planning on launching a podcast, vlog or any other type of video project.

You can use XSplit VCam to give your web camera a DSLR or Portrait mode-style effect with an adjustable blur slider. Or you can replace your background with an image, video, webpage or even a YouTube video. You also can leverage the tool to deliver a high-quality video presentation for remote work, virtual interviews, consultation services or customer support — and even use your mobile device as a webcam.
