IMFVirtualCamera::Remove method (mfvirtualcamera.h)

Disables and unregisters the virtual camera from the system. This is the equivalent to physically removing an external camera and uninstalling the driver.

Syntax

HRESULT Remove();

Return value

Returns an HRESULT value, including but not limited to the following values:

Error code	Description
S_OK	Succeeded
E_ACCESSDENIED	The virtual camera is a system wide camera and the caller does not have permissions to remove it.

Remarks

Applications that create virtual cameras during their lifetime should ensure that their virtual cameras are removed when the application is uninstalled.

Calling Remove while the virtual camera is in use will result in those applications receiving a MF_E_VIDEO_RECORDING_DEVICE_INVALIDATED error.
