Whatsapp on PC can't recognize Splitcam as a virtual camera.......FIXED

Splitcam works fine it allows me to overlay 2 x Video feeds + 2 x Audio feeds in 1 scene as a virtual camera using
RTSP IP cams , and then use this virtual webcam on Teams .

However WhatsApp PC does not have it in drop down of available cams for Video call , is this a Splitcam issue or is WhatsApp PC
blocking the virtual camera input , as I see when Googling it , many 1 yr + old posts say it should work fine ,
but there is nothing recent to say it does ? I did find people saying OBS works , but I rather like Splitcams interface.

Win 10 pro 64bit , Splitcam 10.8.50 , 32 GB RAM , Fresh install .

Hello
Try this version : https://splitcam.com/win-download/update/10.7.32_x64.msi

Thankyou so much , the " Splitcam Driver " now comes up under choices of Video input when using WhatsApp Desktop on my PC , fantastic , I did just try the new 10.8.60 , no luck the Splitcam driver does not appear in the drop down list for video input , so I thought I'd give your suggestion of the older version a go , and Bingo :)

Will this be fixed in a newer version or am I best to stay with this older version if I want WhatsApp support ?

The only issue I seem to have is it AUTO DOWNLOADS an update for me to v10.8.5 and has a NAG screen to update it , which I don't need or want to use into MY DOWNLOADS folder , is there any easy way to turn off AUTO UPDATE , maybe by modifying a cfg file , as there is no tick box in UI ?

I have tried adding " offline = 1 " to the " local.cfg " file in " %localappdata%\SplitCam " as suggested on the forum  , as I only use Splitcam on my LOCAL network , no streaming as such , but it still checks for updates ?
