For video capture of webcams for sites with flash (youtube, livestream and etc) I use a driver and DirectShow filter. The user loads a page with flash and chooses a driver or filter from the camera list of flash's Parameters for video capture.
My problem. For Win 8.1 x64 in Internet Explorer 11 the flash does not show DirectShow filters, only drivers. I see those filters in Chrome, Firefox and Skype, but it is not in IE! No problem with IE in flash for Win 7 x86/x64.
Ok. The cause is understood by me. IE loads 64-bit flash, which does not understand my 32-bit filter.
No problem, I make 64-bit filter and test it on 64-bit VLC. All right, VLC shows me my filter in its list.
Now I load IE with a flash page and .... the filter is not in the flash list!!!!! Why????
Please any ideas.
PS. OS, browsers, flash player have the last updates on PC.
No any options. IE is a part of OS and works only with drivers.
If you wish to use Directshow, then you should add a Directshow wrapper (plugin) for your driver

PS. I am afraid have bad news, MS Edge does not work with Directshow at all!. But you can open the page in Edge and call Internet Explorer via Edge properties
Any case I look at Media Foundation, as a DS alternative.
