How to use NetL

Everything from installing the app to buying an access key and going live — start to finish. Buying an access key only happens inside the NetL app; this website does not sell keys directly.

1. Install NetL
2. Buy an access key
3. Sign in
4. Use the virtual camera
1

Install NetL

Download and set up the desktop app once.

  1. Download NetL for your operating system and run the installer.
  2. Install the one-time OS driver requirements: OBS Studio's virtual camera driver (or v4l2loopback on Linux), plus a virtual audio cable such as VB-CABLE (Windows) or BlackHole (macOS). This is a standard requirement for any virtual camera app, not unique to NetL, and only needs doing once per computer.
  3. Launch NetL. You'll land on the sign-in screen.

Create your account & pay

Done entirely inside the app — nothing to fill in on this website.

  1. On the sign-in screen, click Create Account. This opens a secure window inside the app.
  2. Fill in your Full Name, Email Address, a Password, and your Country.
  3. Check the required boxes: agreeing to the Terms & Conditions, confirming you won't use NetL for fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal purposes, and confirming you understand how activation and refunds work.
  4. Your account is created right away, but stays inactive until payment is confirmed — you'll get an email confirming the account was created, with next steps.
  5. The same window then takes you straight to Paystack's secure checkout to pay — no separate step, no leaving the app.
  6. Once payment is confirmed, your account switches to active and your access key (NETL-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) is emailed to you, valid for 6 months.
Double-check your email address before paying. Your access key is delivered only to the email you enter — it can't be resent or recovered if that address is wrong. All purchases are final, with one exception: if your account or key fails to activate due to a technical error on our end, contact us within 4 days of payment for a refund — see our Terms & Conditions for the full policy.

Payment succeeded but you closed the window before seeing a confirmation? Your account still activates in the background — check your email in a minute or two before assuming something went wrong.

Payment confirmation taking a moment? Your account is only ever created once NetL's server independently confirms the payment with Paystack — if you completed payment, the key still arrives shortly even if the window looks like it's still waiting.

Payment happens securely inside the NetL app

Sign in

One account, one device at a time.

  1. Back on the sign-in screen, sign in with either your email and password, or the access key from your email — both work, use whichever is easier for you.
  2. You're in.
  3. NetL remembers this device, so it can sign you in automatically next time — even offline — as long as your key hasn't expired and hasn't been used to sign in on a different device since. Only one device can be active per account; signing in elsewhere signs this device out (and emails you about it).

Use the virtual camera

Route an imported video into any app that expects a camera/mic.

  1. Click Import Video and choose a file (.mp4 .mov .avi .mkv .webm).
  2. Click Start Virtual Camera.
  3. In Telegram, Zoom, Google Meet, Discord, OBS, etc., select NetL as the camera, and your virtual audio cable as the microphone.
  4. Toggle mute to switch between the video's own audio and your real microphone.
  5. Playback controls (play/pause, seek, loop) work like a normal video player and drive the live output.
RENEWING

When your 6-month key expires, click Buy Access Key again from the sign-in screen and go through the same in-app flow — a renewal is just a new purchase.

NEED HELP?

Payment or access-key issues: support@netl.online (include the email you purchased with). Camera/mic not detected in a call? Recheck the one-time driver setup in step 1 first — that's the most common cause.
