I used AForge to detect the webcam and obtained the real-time captured video but i want to use that real-time video in another form such that I can use the webcam i detected in the form1 in form2. I found a lot of pictureBox data transfer examples but none of them was the real-time data. And i used C# Tutorial - How to use Webcam in C# | FoxLearn - YouTube[^] video to open the webcam. How can i achieve that?

What I have tried:

I tried to transfer pictureboxes but it didn't work.

It's bad idea to grab video and display it on the same time on 2 forms. It would be very, very resource consuming job.

Please, read my comment to the question first.

If you would like to exchange data between form "on the fly", i'd suggest to read OriginalGriff's excellent articles/tips:
Transferring information between two forms, Part 1: Parent to Child[^]
Transferring information between two forms, Part 2: Child to Parent[^]
Transferring information between two forms, Part 3: Child to Child[^]

Here is an implementation: Run a time counter on form1 and form2 C# winforms[^]
