When creating screenshots, tutorial videos, or other documentation, it is sometimes helpful to simulate a camera with a pre-recorded video.

To create a Simulated Camera Source, drag and drop a video from the Finder into the Sources column while holding the Command + Control keys. A new source will appear that looks like a [camera](http://Camera)[source](https://mimolive.com/user-manual/sources-input/video/), but plays the video in a loop. You can then select a hardware source and audio source, just like with a real camera source.
