This is a fork of the Rope project (by Hillobar), which focus on implementing features for live swapping using Webcam and for live streaming the swapped videos using virtual camera.
For a full list of features and details, please visit the original project page
- Includes a lot of awesome mods created by Alucard24, Corza, Glat0s and others. You can check out Alucard's fork with those mods here
- Supports using Live Webcam feed as a video source for swapping
- Supports sending the swapped video as Virtual Camera output (in realtime) which can be used in external applications like Google Meet, Zoom, Twitch etc..
- Integrates Rope with OBS Studio for real-time recording with microphone or computer audio
