It works with most cameras that allows remote shooting(Taking a picture using your computer-The photo/ video infront of the camera must be seen on your pc's screen). The software Zoom browser EX(containing remote capture) is available with the camera. Then you can use live output available with Camtasia recorder(Camtasia studio application) to record the camera video from the screen. Use a webcam to detect the camtasia live output and you're done. Might be a little complex though. Just 4 steps, 2 steps more than using a normal webcam. 1)Connect camera 2)Use remote shooting 3)Use Camtasia live output 4)Enable webcam in messenger. Done!!!
