Description
Scenes, layers, and live switching for any video call, with recording and RTMP streaming directly from your Mac. One-time payment, no subscription. Turn any video call into a production. CamForge combines your camera, screen, videos, images, and text into a single scene, then publishes it as a camera. Choose “CamForge” in Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Discord, or FaceTime, and people will see a studio instead of a webcam.

Could you build this?
No Creating a virtual webcam on macOS requires writing a CoreMediaIO DAL plugin or modern Camera Extension in Swift/C++, plus a real-time compositing and RTMP streaming engine.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a macOS system extension using the CMIOExtension / CoreMediaIO framework to expose a virtual camera device to the OS. The rendering engine requires Metal or CoreVideo/AVFoundation for zero-latency multi-layer compositing (camera, screen capture, video, overlay graphics), coupled with libavcodec/FFmpeg for real-time H.264 hardware encoding and RTMP multiplexing.
