Setup guide

Up and running in three steps.

VeBeGe adds a filtered copy of each camera you already have. You install it once, pick that copy inside Zoom, Meet, or Teams, and you are done. There are no settings to tune and nothing to open during a call.

The three steps

Install, pick, and go.

That is the whole setup. Each step below has a little more detail if you want it.

1

Install VeBeGe

Download VeBeGe and run it. It sets everything up on its own and starts straight away. No computer restart, and you will not be asked any questions along the way.

2

Pick the (VeBeGe) camera

In your video app's camera settings, choose the entry named like your webcam with (VeBeGe) after it. It usually appears right away. If you do not see it and the app was already open, quit it completely and open it again, since some apps only check for cameras when they start.

3

Give it a few seconds

VeBeGe needs a moment to build your background. A loading wheel fills in over the preview while it works, and once it is full and your video shows, filtering is live. Anyone who walks into shot behind you is quietly removed from then on, and your choice is remembered for every future call.

Where to find the camera

Look for your camera's name, plus (VeBeGe).

Open the camera or video menu in the app you use for calls and switch the camera to the (VeBeGe) version. If you have more than one webcam, each one gets its own filtered copy, so pick the copy of whichever camera you point at yourself.

  • Zoom: Settings, then Video, then Camera
  • Google Meet or Microsoft Teams: the camera menu in call settings
  • OBS, Discord, and other apps: wherever you normally choose a webcam

The tray icon

A quiet icon near your clock.

Once VeBeGe is running, a small icon sits in the system tray at the bottom of your screen. Right click it to see how many cameras were found and how many are ready with VeBeGe, to open the data folder, to visit this site, or to quit.

You do not need to touch it for everyday use. It is there when you want to check on things or turn VeBeGe off for a while.

What is happening

What VeBeGe is doing behind the scenes.

You do not need any of this to use VeBeGe, but here is what it is up to while it runs.

If something is off

Troubleshooting.

A few quick answers for the most common questions.

I do not see the (VeBeGe) camera in my app

Close the video app fully and open it again, since most apps only read the camera list when they start. If it is still missing, check that the VeBeGe icon is present in the system tray, which means it is running.

There is a loading wheel over my video

That is VeBeGe building your background for the first time after you picked the (VeBeGe) camera. It only takes a few seconds. Once the wheel fills, the feed is live and background people are removed as usual.

The camera light stays off

That is on purpose. VeBeGe only turns the real camera on while an app is streaming from the (VeBeGe) copy. Once you are in a call and that camera is selected, the light comes on as usual.

I plugged in a new webcam

Nothing to do. VeBeGe notices new cameras and removed ones on its own and keeps a matching (VeBeGe) copy for each. Reopen your video app so it picks up the new entry.

How do I turn it off?

Right click the tray icon and choose Quit to stop it for now, or just switch your app back to the plain camera without (VeBeGe) in the name.

Ready when you are.
