Windows 10 DirectShow "drivers"

Hi!

I have made a virtual webcam driver with DirectShow for my application, where it is better to place dll to make it accessible for Chrome, Zoom and etc.?

Do folders Windows/SysWOW64/drivers for 64 bit version and Windows/System32/drivers suit for this kind of drivers?

Hi Сергей

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

It is the other way around, Windows is counter-intuitive when it comes to where drivers are stored

64bit drivers are stored here: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore

32bit drivers are stored here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\DriverStore

2
You mention you have created an App is that driver used solely by your App

Hi Сергей

Okay, then you can store your dll in one of those folders, however, how are you telling the Windows system that your virtual webcam is available for use by those apps?
