Thank you. I got my setup working. I had already watched about 3 or 4 videos before yours, had downloaded pretty much everything you suggested, but your video was the only one that made things come together and finally work. You are awesome, thank you.
Thank you so much!! I got my kinect for VR and this let me know the camera is functioning beforehand. I wouldn't have thought to check the device manager list for updates to the driver! Thanks again!!
Thank you!! I found an adapter at a thrift shop and got it; you have no idea how SATISFYING it was having that little xbox light turn on after months of messing around with it by myself😂
Thanks a lot for posting this, Caroline! I am using Windows 11 and, at first, no app on my was recognizing the Kinect as a camera, even though I could see the video feed through the ColorBasics. After a couple restarts, it worked perfectly!
disconnected from the xbox last night and simply plugged the usb into my Wind 10 pc this morning. It was recognized and became a webcam and skype enabled. That download doesn't have to happen - allows tricks from what you've presented. Interesting info.
theres no need to install de SDK, just plug your kinect v2 with the adapter to a usb 3 port. and run windowsupdate. it should download the latest drivers for it. it will appear as an extra camera for teams. camera app, zoom, etc
Thanks for the video. I did an computer refresh and my Kinect stop working. I always have to come back to this video when I have a problem with my Kinect.
Thanks so much. I bought a Kinect 2 recently. Now that is chepper and nobody talk about 3D scanning now. Is the opportunity and I found your channel with recently videos about this. Thanks in advance!! New sub!! ^^
i use this setup and it works great, but just make sure to uninstall all Kinect drivers and apps apart from 2.2.1905 as this is the driver that allows you to use your kinect as a webcam (using DirectShow) unfortunately this means installing the kinect studio app but it should remain working fine if you additionally use your kinect for tracking in vr with Amethyst
when installing 2.2.1905 drivers, make sure to also follow microsoft’s instructions for installation by installing only the required driver, and not running the .msi file included in the zip file you download from their site. this yielded a working result for me and while the msi might still work fine, i would try to eliminate any problems you might encounter incase you were having problems getting it working with windows 10 20h2 like myself. i believe when running the msi file it tries to install older drivers for compatibility purposes but these are useless for the average user unless you are running something very, very old that hasn’t gotten an update in many years
Ok pause from start. Only one question: if you use Linux (Arch, in particular), can you still use your Kinect 2.0 as a camera? What's the package for this?
It worked but not well, I looks really good but nearly allways the kinetic goes off after a short time and always stand in green popups above the middle monitos. And then mostly the cam are gone :(.
was thinking about buying the adapter, but things seem really laggy with the Kinect camera when you use it in your video. Is it the case in your experience? and thank you, your video is hands down the best most comprehensive on using the kinect as webcam! subscribing to check out your other vids too!
wish windows hello worked with kinects. Mine worked for years, but after the last update it no longer works with windows hello. This is why I usually don't restart or update, updates break more things than they fix.
Your Kinect video footage lags awfully probably because you purchased a cheap adapter from China. You should record a video solely using the Kinect instead of using screen capture.

This still works on windows 11. One extra step I needed to do was update the driver via device manager otherwise apps didn't recognise it.
Good to know thank you!
Thank you so much!! I got my kinect for VR and this let me know the camera is functioning beforehand. I wouldn't have thought to check the device manager list for updates to the driver! Thanks again!!
thank you! your video helped me realize the "update drivers" context menu option in device manager can sometimes be helpful afterall!!!

Thanks it help to me 😅😂 I have bought the kinect and didn't know if it will work with windows 11
This is actually amazing. Works right out of the box on Windows 11 for me!
disconnected from the xbox last night and simply plugged the usb into my Wind 10 pc this morning. It was recognized and became a webcam and skype enabled.

Much Appreciated. I really felt as though It was a shame to allow such a Device to just go to waste, I'm glad it can find life as something else
If you have a good gaming pc or a work station PC a lot of the SDK tests work amazing, especially the fusion 3D render test.
this is the only video that helped me . thank you so much for making this video.
EVERYONE IS RIGHT YOUR THE ONLY CHANNEL THAT HAS GOT IT WORKING THAK YOU
Clean. Clear. Krisp.
Delightful.
Thank you SO MUCH!

Correct!

Will it work on windows 10 ?

I think lagging is caused by a lack of cooling, because sometimes the chip breaks down, which is responsible for the chipping.
Very cool but I would have liked to have seen a full screen video recording from the raw Kinect output instead of the small screen capture.
it wasn't working until I updated the driver from the device manager which I couldn't do unless I saw how on this video...thanks
Brilliant! Thanks for the walk through!
Ok pause from start. Only one question: if you use Linux (Arch, in particular), can you still use your Kinect 2.0 as a camera? What's the package for this?
Amazing video, thank you!
Thank you for the video, save me a lot of time!
thank you ! i wasnt able to use as cam before now! possisbly downloaded wrong driver or something
Hi, it installed and I can see myself in the Verify Depth and colour streams. However no apps will detect it. Not zoom, skype or teams?
thanks it really help me.
so you basically have low framerate issue, and it's a REAL issue if you are going to use kinect as a webcam
how do you do it with the first version of the kinect for the 360?
Is it possible to zoom in and out with the Kinect? So far I have not found an app or anything in the SDK to do this.
For whose using It, Is It a valuable device as a webcam? Or maybe a random CAM on full hd for 30/40 bucks Is Better as now
Great video, but cant get adapter in uk anymore.
Great explanation of the setup. Quick question does the Kinect v2 cam work with Windows 11 ?
im wondering the same thing i cant seem too get it too connect to my laptop.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Does night vision still work. Heard u can still use it on xbox series as webcam
It worked but not well, I looks really good but nearly allways the kinetic goes off after a short time and always stand in green popups above the middle monitos. And then mostly the cam are gone :(.

Is it going to be laggy?
Caroline, do you know how to change the zoom setting? Or zoom setting must be configured at app level for Kinect?
Thank you so much for your help
The driver doesnt show up for me 3:45
thank you Caroline this works perfectly on my Windows 11 laptop
thank you it was very helpful very very very helpful
Tnks carolineeeee 🔥😘
Thank you
wish windows hello worked with kinects. Mine worked for years, but after the last update it no longer works with windows hello. This is why I usually don't restart or update, updates break more things than they fix.
It works.
The kinect keeps freezing and turning off. I don't know what to do
wish there was a way for this to work on linux
Amazing! Thanks!
how do you make this work for discord
hell yeah sis
Is there anyway to get 30fps?
Ghost adv. Made a ghost tracker . From 360 kinect
thank you!!
Does it work on windows 11?
In Skype, the image is mirrored. Can that change? Greetings
hat's what I'm searching to but Icouldn't find anything that helped till now
mijn kenect pinkt groen vind nieks van 3d scan software
Hola buenas tardes... se podra usar con una sesion en teams???
Will it work on Linux
How do you use the kanect for streaming using a xbox on twitch??? It stopped working
Hello what kind of tripod and or adapter you use on the Kinect? Thanks
is there a way to use it with a mac book
She said she was unaware if it couldm
where can i find the driver. i dont have it on my laptop
Bought the Kinect today for 50 money (from where I live). That adapter is 229 money.
I get error 1920 :(
Cool if u can use kinect 2 as ps4 cam. To play playground. Kinect 2 is more powerfull then ps4 cam
Unfortunately they are fundamentally different. The kinect uses time of flight sensors to gauge depth while the PS4 cam uses stereoscopy.
A tip is try different USB ports as I had try 3. Windows 11 with Windows Hello is awesome
can you help me
what are the benefits of using this?
using kinect for vr and for other arcade machines, such as dance evolution or emulating other kinect games. kinect as a webcam as well
Your Kinect video footage lags awfully probably because you purchased a cheap adapter from China. You should record a video solely using the Kinect instead of using screen capture.
you cute
Thanks for the help
