FAQ: How can I hide a webcam interface? (Desktop TWAIN Scanning)


Normally you can't hide the interface of a webcam because it creates a security risk. However, you can use our Acquisition Demo to test it with your webcam.

  1. Download and install DotImage; DotTwain is installed with it by default
  2. Download the TWAIN Acquisition Demo
  3. Open the solution, buld and run it
  4. Select your webcam from the File -> Choose Device menu
  5. Click the File -> Hide Interface menu item to check it
  6. Start a scan using the File -> Acquire... menu item
  7. If the webcam interface still shows, then the driver does not support hiding it
