Each ManyCam subscription limits the number of devices (Windows, macOS desktop) that can be activated concurrently.
macOS: In individual subscriptions (Standard, Studio, Premium), one device applies to one user of the operating system (individual subscriptions can’t be shared between users or ManyCam accounts). Multiple activations per user and subscription sharing are available in Enterprise and Education plans only.
Windows: ManyCam subscription is now device-based and acts globally across all OS users and ManyCam apps. Activate multiple editions (desktop, Lite) and instances of ManyCam for Windows simultaneously with a single device activation on a single machine, even if they are installed under multiple OS users.
Video sources are ManyCam video presets located under the Main Live Window that can be used to create prearranged scenes containing various multimedia materials, effects, video settings, etc. Learn more here.
