General Settings
Click on the button “⚙️” and make various settings under the “General” tab.
Optimize meshes
Section titled “Optimize meshes”It automatically combines parts of the avatar’s mesh, reducing the load on rendering the avatar. It’s usually recommended to keep this ON. However, if there are issues with the avatar display, please turn it OFF.
Convert VRM 0.x to VRM 1.x
Section titled “Convert VRM 0.x to VRM 1.x”It automatically converts VRM0.x series avatars to VRM1.0 series. This setting will always be enabled in the future. Even with this setting ON, we recommend creating a model that can load in the 0.x series or preparing a 1.0 series model. If you can’t adjust the model immediately, please turn it OFF.
Flip screen of the virtual camera
Section titled “Flip screen of the virtual camera”Turn this ON if the virtual camera screen appears flipped horizontally.
Add icon in macOS menu bar
Section titled “Add icon in macOS menu bar”Even when VCam is closed, it remains added to the Mac menu bar. There are advantages to adding it to the Mac menu bar:
- You don’t have to start VCam every time; just launching an app that uses a virtual camera (like OBS or Zoom) will automatically activate the webcam and display the avatar.
- When you close the app using the virtual camera, the webcam and tracking will stop automatically.
If you want to exit the app without adding it to the menu bar, please turn it OFF.
Language
Section titled “Language”VCam is available in Japanese, English and Korean.
The display language follows the per-app language setting of macOS. To change it, click “Open the language settings of macOS” and select the language for VCam in System Settings.
