How to Setup Kinect V2 as a Webcam

[@Edmundostudios]

This still works on windows 11. One extra step I needed to do was update the driver via device manager otherwise apps didn't recognise it.

[@justsomeguy4374]

Thank you. I got my setup working. I had already watched about 3 or 4 videos before yours, had downloaded pretty much everything you suggested, but your video was the only one that made things come together and finally work. You are awesome, thank you.

[@muse-icality5554]

Thank you so much!! I got my kinect for VR and this let me know the camera is functioning beforehand. I wouldn't have thought to check the device manager list for updates to the driver! Thanks again!!

[@teemultimate8628]

thank you! your video helped me realize the "update drivers" context menu option in device manager can sometimes be helpful afterall!!!

[@PRhymeExample]

Much Appreciated. I really felt as though It was a shame to allow such a Device to just go to waste, I'm glad it can find life as something else

[@TheKeithvidz]

disconnected from the xbox last night and simply plugged the usb into my Wind 10 pc this morning. It was recognized and became a webcam and skype enabled. That download doesn't have to happen - allows tricks from what you've presented. Interesting info.

[@pabloplaysguitar]

Thank you!! I found an adapter at a thrift shop and got it; you have no idea how SATISFYING it was having that little xbox light turn on after months of messing around with it by myself😂

[@hernanifreitas5998]

Thanks a lot for posting this, Caroline! I am using Windows 11 and, at first, no app on my was recognizing the Kinect as a camera, even though I could see the video feed through the ColorBasics. After a couple restarts, it worked perfectly!

[@PCas18]

Thanks it help to me 😅😂 I have bought the kinect and didn't know if it will work with windows 11

[@ahmedsifat818]

this is the only video that helped me . thank you so much for making this video.

[@cmoneto]

theres no need to install de SDK, just plug your kinect v2 with the adapter to a usb 3 port. and run windowsupdate. it should download the latest drivers for it. it will appear as an extra camera for teams. camera app, zoom, etc

[@camilovv32]

Just what i needed, thanks

[@vivalavidaloca]

Correct!

[@madedigital]

EVERYONE IS RIGHT YOUR THE ONLY CHANNEL THAT HAS GOT IT WORKING THAK YOU

[@darealxogx]

Thanks for the video. I did an computer refresh and my Kinect stop working. I always have to come back to this video when I have a problem with my Kinect.

[@gudrunmobusbernhards8964]

Clean. Clear. Krisp. Delightful. Thank you SO MUCH!

[@NoorSkullz]

If you have a good gaming pc or a work station PC a lot of the SDK tests work amazing, especially the fusion 3D render test.

[@rubiworks]

Thanks so much. I bought a Kinect 2 recently. Now that is chepper and nobody talk about 3D scanning now. Is the opportunity and I found your channel with recently videos about this. Thanks in advance!! New sub!! ^^

[@RubiscoTalks]

Will it work on windows 10 ?

[@kxk2328]

was thinking about buying the adapter, but things seem really laggy with the Kinect camera when you use it in your video. Is it the case in your experience? and thank you, your video is hands down the best most comprehensive on using the kinect as webcam! subscribing to check out your other vids too!

[@chinmaydalal534]

Brilliant! Thanks for the walk through!

[@LiVeWiRez]

Great explanation of the setup. Quick question does the Kinect v2 cam work with Windows 11 ?

[@derrickm1567]

im wondering the same thing i cant seem too get it too connect to my laptop.

[@VRStudio]

so you basically have low framerate issue, and it's a REAL issue if you are going to use kinect as a webcam

[@thedanyesful]

Very cool but I would have liked to have seen a full screen video recording from the raw Kinect output instead of the small screen capture.

[@chlorosokita596]

Ok pause from start. Only one question: if you use Linux (Arch, in particular), can you still use your Kinect 2.0 as a camera? What's the package for this?

[@notmuchikensei7934]

Amazing video, thank you!

[@geoffrey3668]

Thank you for the video, save me a lot of time!

[@parkermrpink]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@DeiGmz]

thanks it really help me.

[@arielmachado5817]

Amazing! Thanks!

[@Amir22Games]

thank you it was very helpful very very very helpful

[@gabrielsegura626]

Thank you so much for your help

[@gloomydog1]

i use this setup and it works great, but just make sure to uninstall all Kinect drivers and apps apart from 2.2.1905 as this is the driver that allows you to use your kinect as a webcam (using DirectShow) unfortunately this means installing the kinect studio app but it should remain working fine if you additionally use your kinect for tracking in vr with Amethyst

[@gloomydog1]

when installing 2.2.1905 drivers, make sure to also follow microsoft’s instructions for installation by installing only the required driver, and not running the .msi file included in the zip file you download from their site. this yielded a working result for me and while the msi might still work fine, i would try to eliminate any problems you might encounter incase you were having problems getting it working with windows 10 20h2 like myself. i believe when running the msi file it tries to install older drivers for compatibility purposes but these are useless for the average user unless you are running something very, very old that hasn’t gotten an update in many years

[@tommaso1672]

For whose using It, Is It a valuable device as a webcam? Or maybe a random CAM on full hd for 30/40 bucks Is Better as now

[@gwendolynhunt2075]

hell yeah sis

[@prowl.17]

Tnks carolineeeee 🔥😘

[@SusimanRinoshan]

Thank you

[@nguyentminh]

Caroline, do you know how to change the zoom setting? Or zoom setting must be configured at app level for Kinect?

[@tristar2112]

thank you ! i wasnt able to use as cam before now! possisbly downloaded wrong driver or something

[@pooooo52]

Does night vision still work. Heard u can still use it on xbox series as webcam

[@ibferguson]

Hi, it installed and I can see myself in the Verify Depth and colour streams. However no apps will detect it. Not zoom, skype or teams?

[@eclecticetcetera7040]

Is it possible to zoom in and out with the Kinect? So far I have not found an app or anything in the SDK to do this.

[@josebringas513]

thank you!!

[@judithvilella966]

thank you Caroline this works perfectly on my Windows 11 laptop

[@georgea8516]

it wasn't working until I updated the driver from the device manager which I couldn't do unless I saw how on this video...thanks

[@HistoryandReviews]

Is it going to be laggy?

[@gerardo8929]

how do you do it with the first version of the kinect for the 360?

[@Kaffeestrudel]

It worked but not well, I looks really good but nearly allways the kinetic goes off after a short time and always stand in green popups above the middle monitos. And then mostly the cam are gone :(.

[@jmjmjmp]

Is there anyway to get 30fps?

[@ChrisDaytrader]

Great video, but cant get adapter in uk anymore.

[@DudeQThat]

The kinect keeps freezing and turning off. I don't know what to do

[@saidibujos]

Does it work on windows 11?

[@jamesvideos2000]

wish windows hello worked with kinects. Mine worked for years, but after the last update it no longer works with windows hello. This is why I usually don't restart or update, updates break more things than they fix.

[@vivalavidaloca]

It works.

[@robevenegas]

Hello what kind of tripod and or adapter you use on the Kinect? Thanks

[@6XDJ]

how do you make this work for discord

[@thomasembo28]

mijn kenect pinkt groen vind nieks van 3d scan software

[@joepan5981]

In Skype, the image is mirrored. Can that change? Greetings

[@krunschold]

hat's what I'm searching to but Icouldn't find anything that helped till now

[@jluismotta4616]

Hola buenas tardes... se podra usar con una sesion en teams???

[@onepunchman8662]

How do you use the kanect for streaming using a xbox on twitch??? It stopped working

[@jasongooden917]

Will it work on Linux

[@BamsyTheSergal]

wish there was a way for this to work on linux

[@smikeee]

Bought the Kinect today for 50 money (from where I live). That adapter is 229 money.

[@iq5992]

where can i find the driver. i dont have it on my laptop

[@Noah-sm2ue]

The driver doesnt show up for me 3:45

[@faxplustax8428]

is there a way to use it with a mac book

[@user-nd7rd8jo6h]

She said she was unaware if it couldm

[@mattrichardson4351]

A tip is try different USB ports as I had try 3. Windows 11 with Windows Hello is awesome

[@pooooo52]

Ghost adv. Made a ghost tracker . From 360 kinect

[@imraxus]

I get error 1920 :(

[@pooooo52]

Cool if u can use kinect 2 as ps4 cam. To play playground. Kinect 2 is more powerfull then ps4 cam

[@toebeexyz]

Unfortunately they are fundamentally different. The kinect uses time of flight sensors to gauge depth while the PS4 cam uses stereoscopy.

[@tanishkprem7422]

can you help me

[@NickArcade]

Your Kinect video footage lags awfully probably because you purchased a cheap adapter from China. You should record a video solely using the Kinect instead of using screen capture.

[@queeffersthrlnd1620]

what are the benefits of using this?

[@Twitter_Posts]

using kinect for vr and for other arcade machines, such as dance evolution or emulating other kinect games. kinect as a webcam as well

[@新撰組-u3v]

you cute

[@AndyMorphs]

Thanks for the help
