Can you nerds help me get a Playstation Eye working as a webcam on Windows 10?

Thank you in advance for the help. I recently ordered a PS Eye from Groupon because it was described as "for PC and PS3". See: https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-...-brand-new

I tried just plugging it in and letting Windows find the drivers. Something installed, but when I went to the camera app, the PC couldn't find a camera. I did some googling and found the drivers from CL. I installed those, and got it working on Discord and through the CL-Eye Test program, but couldn't get it going for Zoom or Skype.

I found this: https://github.com/jkevin/PS3EyeDirectShow and downloaded and ran the installer, but still couldn't get Skype or Zoom to find the camera.

I don't know what the fark I'm doing, would appreciate any help.

Reviews are atrocious for exactly the issue you are having.

Seems people had this issue and:

3rd party program that supposedly makes it work on skype/etc: https://manycam.com/

Look at the first comment on the YT video (the one with 30+ subcomments)

Thank you for this. I hadn't tried manycam. It took a couple restarts (and probably a lot of user error), but it's working for zoom now. It isn't working with Skype, but that's not a big deal.
