In Skype, select “Options…” in the “Tools” menu. In the “Skype – Options” window that opens, click on the “video settings” tab along the left side of the window. Make sure the “ManyCam Virtual Webcam” is the video camera selected in the “Webcam:” pop-up menu just above your live image.
Step # 3 – Select the effects to use in the ManyCam application window
Switch back to the “ManyCam” window. Select the top left tab labeled “Video”, and then the “effects” tab that appears just below the “Video” tab. Select one or more of the many effects from the hierarchical list down the left side of the “ManyCam” window.
