Question by zhijie · Nov 01, 2013 at 07:01 AM · videosavewebcamrecording

How can I save a webcam recording to a video file in Unity?

Right now I am able to actually start my webcam to work but I will actually need to record the webcam the moment it started and save the recording as a video file. Does anyone have any idea how can I actually do this?

That records the game screen, OP is trying to record a video from a devices actual camera.

Like a phone.

I'm also interested in this.

I have this plugin, and I used it for recording the webcam feed on pc builds, then subsequently played back those recordings on a rendertexture. Has support for realtime codec compressions too

@JChilton:
Hmm, is it possible that they seperated the webcam feature into this seperate plugin? If that feature is part of the $$anonymous$$ovieCapture plugin they did a bad job at advertising it since they did not mention it in the feature list.

@Bunny83

I'd have to dig into the project to see if it's valid, but I have two of their plugins. It could be entirely possible they stripped the feature out and launched it as that separate entity, and I may just have an old version, I'm not certain. iirc,

For Capture I used: http://www.renderheads.com/portfolio/UnityAVPro$$anonymous$$ovieCapture/

For Playback I used: http://www.renderheads.com/portfolio/UnityAVProWindows$$anonymous$$edia/

I don't think linking a plugin you must pay for counts as answering the question.

Regardless, Those plugins appear to be windows only, why isn't there an easy way to record from a video camera on android/iphone?

I needed the same functionality and found AVPro Live Camera plugin as a separate product: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/3683
