The Redirect Camera Input feature allows you to redirect a local camera (Business app side) to a remote session (Streamer side).
This enables the remote computer to access your local camera as if it were a native webcam, allowing use cases such as:
- Remote meetings (e.g., Microsoft Teams, Zoom)
- Remote collaboration requiring webcam input
When enabled, your local camera will appear as a virtual camera on the remote computer.

By default, Splashtop automatically selects a local camera for redirection.
There is currently no UI to manually choose a camera.
To specify which camera to use, configure the following registry key:
Path : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Splashtop Inc.\Splashtop Remote Client for STB Name : RemoteCameraWebcam Type : REG_SZ Value: <camera device name>
Value
- The value should be set to the exact name of the local camera device.
- If not set, the system will automatically select a camera.
How to find the camera name
Go to Windows Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Cameras to view the camera device name.
