I'm not sure if this bug report belongs with us, and you deleted half the template.

This sounds like you need to report to xsplit, as the virtualcam is registered as a directshow device, so it is up to them to support it, not us to support them.

but it's not only xsplit vcam there are many apps like this for example windows 10's default camera app

@barfin Windows 10's Camera app uses Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, so it doesn't show virtual DirectShow devices.
