Obs virtual camera

OBS Studio, widely known as a tool for broadcasters, added a new built-in feature in their latest update, Virtual Camera, which allows you to use the OBS output as a camera in other apps on your computer.

This exports anything you’ve set up in OBS Studio as if it were a camera to your system. As a result, you have a lot of room to be inventive. What is the OBS Virtual Camera, and how does it work?

The OBS virtual obs virtual camera can be used to send your OBS video directly to several other applications including, but not limited to, Zoom, Discord, Skype, and Webex. Instead of choosing a camera device in these applications, you may use the output from OBS as a webcam by clicking the “start Virtual Camera” button. You may wish to utilize OBS as a webcam source since it has many production features like picture in picture, chroma-key (green screen), and so on.

This is especially useful if you want to deliver a business presentation or amuse your coworkers by using an interesting green screen backdrop.

This is useful if you’re delivering a business presentation or want to amuse your coworkers by using a strange green screen backdrop. The OBS virtual camera can link your OBS scene to many other applications that can select camera devices, such as Zoom, Discord, Skype, and Google Meet. As an example, we will explain how to use the OBS virtual camera in Zoom.

Step 1. Please download the latest version of OBS studio. Step 2. Add sources you want to share, such as video or display capture, and click the ‘Start Virtual Camera’ button. • Step 3. Start the Zoom application and select the OBS Virtual Camera as a camera in video settings. • You’ll notice that whatever is shown in OBS is mirrored in Zoom. This process works the same way for other programs, such as Skype, Discord, and Teams.

The other solution is to run two instances of OBS studio. Please see the steps below. Step 1. Without turning on the virtual camera, open Zoom, Discord, or other programs you’ll be using.

Step 2. Start OBS studio and add a source for recording. Do not turn on the virtual camera yet. • Step 3. Obs virtual camera another instance of OBS studio. If you see the “OBS is already running” message, click “Launch Anyway”. • Step 4. Remove the sources you previously selected and replace them with your camera in the second instance. Start the virtual camera for Zoom or other programs on OBS.

• Step 5. Return to Zoom and select the OBS Virtual camera as a video source. • Now, you can record the Zoom program in the first instance of OBS while using the OBS virtual camera in obs virtual camera second one. Key Features of Bandicam • Screen recorder : Supports webcam overlay, real-time drawing, scheduled recording, etc. • Game recorder : Records high-resolution game screens of up to 4K UHD, 480 FPS.

• Webcam recorder : Records an external video device, such as a webcam, Xbox/PlayStation, smartphone, IPTV, etc.

Step 2. After starting the Virtual Camera in OBS, select the device recording mode in Bandicam. Please select the OBS Virtual Camera as a device in Bandicam, and start recording. • Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has transitioned us to work remotely, making our online self-presentation the first and most important impression we make to others.

If you want to enhance your online appearance, we recommend using the virtual camera function in Obs virtual camera. You may use OBS to turn your environment into a virtual camera, independent of what is displayed. Previously, you had to download the extra plugin to use this function.

Now, however, you simply need the built-in virtual camera button in the latest version of OBS studio. I'm running OBS 26.0.2 (64bit) on macOS Mojave 10.14.2. I'm running the latest version of Discord. The new Start Virtual Camera button hasn't displayed below Start Streaming & Recording, but it has shown up under Tools > Start Virtual Camera. This may have been the OBS-VirtualCam MAC I installed. My goal is to Livestream a Logic Session onto Discord for my band members. However, when I go onto Discord the OBS Virtual Camera does not display under Video Settings > Camera.

I've been able to successfully use the Virtual Camera on Zoom.

/Applications/OBS.app/Contents/MacOS/obs --startvirtualcam In my testing obs virtual camera I found that it would fail once you added the command line argument, eben though this works from a terminal just fine. This is likely a problem with the System - Open plugin provided by Stream Deck. A plugin like this one (assuming that it works on the Mac) might solve the problem. https://github.com/BarRaider/streamdeck-advancedlauncher Hi All, I was following the instructions above, and it kept on failing on a windows 10 PC.

It took me weeks to figure this out. To clarify for any future newcomers, the --startvirtualcam needs to be placed OUTSIDE of the quotations, AND you need to put a SPACE between the last quotation mark (") and the --startvirtualcam parameter. e.g.: "C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --startvirtualcam ^^ see the space inserted BEFORE the --startvirtualcam --- I also added: "C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --startvirtualcam --scene "Camera1" where "Camera1" obs virtual camera the default scene that I want to boot into every morning.

--- I hope that helps for any future newbies like me :P I use --startvirtualcam. I would like it if OBS, when I use this option, would not pop up a dialog box when I close it to confirm I really want to close with the virtual obs virtual camera running. This is the same warning if you have streaming or recording running, which make more sense in that case. In fact, I would be fine if there were no warning at all about the virtual camera running, but at the very least the warning is not a good idea if one deliberately starts it from the command line.

Did you have installed actually all needed drivers for your WebCam? Also is it actually allowed for any cam to be used in some or any APP? I'm not having an issue with my webcam.

I'm having an issue with the OBS virtual camera not showing up as a webcam for other applications. I want to take the video input from my camera, run through chromakey filter, and then use that as a webcam source.

because Zoom is the only meeting app that natively does chromakey and I want my video to look good for everything. :) Yes, apps are allowed to access my cameras. Here's more detail about my setup in case it helps. I'm using DroidCamX for Windows to connect to my Google Pixel 2 XL as my camera. This shows up find in OBS. In OBS, I'm adding a chromakey filter to remove the green screen and add a background.

But when I start the Virtual Camera, nothing shows obs virtual camera. What should I check next? If I understood you correctly and assuming that your setup it self works just fine and OBS let´s you chose your camsource in OBS, Config it in the options and is set to active, does it neither shows up in your preview window as also in your program window in OBS? Besides the Virtual cam that OBS now it self have just uses the Program view as a source if your OBS is set to Studio-Mode if not it uses the Mainscreen.

Recent times have changed how we work, and for many, that means more remote meetings using software like Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

But what hasn't changed much, sadly, is how good even the best webcams are. And if you're conducting business remotely, you still want to look your best. Fortunately, while webcam hardware has been treading water the software has been getting better and better. But one tool you may have overlooked is OBS Studio. More commonly known as a tool for streamers, OBS Studio also has what's known as "Virtual Camera" built in on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

What this does is export whatever you have set up in OBS Studio to your system as if it were a webcam. And this means you can get really creative. The good news is that there is no setup required. Virtual Camera now comes standard in OBS Studio so assuming you have the latest version you're all good to go. To send your scenes out to the rest of your system as a webcam you simply need to click the Start Virtual Camera button in the Controls dock on the main screen of OBS Studio.

Then, whichever app you want to use a webcam with, instead of selecting your hardware webcam, choose the OBS Virtual Camera option instead.

You won't be able to select your hardware webcam by accident as OBS Studio has exclusive use of it, so you'll just get a black screen. How to make your webcam look better in OBS Studio While using OBS Studio as your webcam is really easy, unless you actually use the software to your advantage there's little point to it. Fortunately, you don't have to be a production whiz to make things look a little nicer on the eye. The first thing to do is add your webcam.

• In the sources dock, click the + button. • Select Video Capture Device. • Select the Create New checkbox and give it an easy-to-remember name. Source: Windows Central • Choose your obs virtual camera in the Device drop-down box.

Now, you can either click OK or proceed to tweak some settings. If you do click OK first, you can get back to this same menu by right-clicking on your webcam in the sources dock and choosing Properties.

There are quite a lot of settings you can change, but these are the most important ones to look at. On Windows you'll first need to select Custom under Resolution/FPS type, then change these settings: • Resolution — Make sure you're using 1080p resolution if your webcam supports it if you want the sharpest image. • Frame rate — This will be dependent on your webcam. Many only support 30 FPS at 1080p, needing a drop to 720p to get to 60 FPS.

Try both and see which you prefer, but if your webcam allows 1080p 60 FPS go with that. For most purposes, you can leave the rest of the initial settings on their default values. Now it's time to get into the camera controls. On Windows, you'll first need to click the Configure Video button, while on Linux the controls will be in the same window.

Try adjusting these settings in this order: • Exposure — By default your webcam will probably overexpose, blowing out the image somewhat.

By taking manual control you can adjust the slider to something that looks more natural. This can be used in conjunction with Gain to get the best balance. • Zoom and Pan — Not all webcams will allow this, though it isn't a true zoom either. If enabled for you, you can use these to better frame yourself, effectively cropping out unwanted empty space and making yourself appear larger and more centered in the frame.

• Focus — If you find that your webcam hunts for focus a lot, set it manually. Again it's on a slider but unless you're actually moving around presenting, you'll get a crisper, more stable look by setting the focus yourself. • Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and White Balance — All of these have individual settings but if you change one you're more than likely going to need to change one of the others. All four settings allow you to tweak how your image looks, and it'll depend on your webcam and your room lighting.

But they can all be adjusted manually, and you'll always get a better look than trusting the auto settings. By now your webcam should be looking better already. The final stage is to make sure it's filling the OBS Studio window (unless you're going to get really creative) by simply dragging the corners to resize. Virtual Camera will send out exactly what you're looking at in OBS Studio, so if your webcam is the size of a postage stamp, that's how it'll look on your Zoom call.

But there's still one more thing you can do with OBS Studio to make your webcam pop a little more. How to add filters to your webcam in OBS Studio All of the settings above are changes that obs virtual camera make to the video coming in from your webcam, but there's still more you can do. In the same way you would edit a photo or a video after the fact, you can do the same in OBS Studio as well with filters. There are a number of filters you can use, but there are two in particular that will help make your webcam look better: Color Correction and LUT.

To add a filter, right-click on your webcam in the sources dock and choose Filters. You now want to add a new item in the Effects Filters portion, selecting either of the two above. Here's what you can do with them: • Color Correction — Some similar settings to adjust as in the webcam, with additional ones such as Gamma and the ability to get more granular with your color settings.

You probably don't need to make a drastic change to any of these settings, but you'll be surprised how much of an improvement you can get. • LUT — This is the same as applying a LUT to a photo or video and there are plenty of places online you can grab free ones. There's obs virtual camera comprehensive pack available through the OBS Forums which is a great place to start.

To apply, simply choose the file you want with browse and then use the slider to adjust the strength. These can have a dramatic impact, but are also well worth experimenting with. Additionally, if your webcam gives you particularly soft images you can also add a sharpening filter, but it's pretty strong so don't go overboard with it.

All of these are pretty easy tweaks to make and they're also completely free. This also only scratches the surface of what you can do with OBS Studio.

If you want to get more advanced you can set up a whole presentation, with multiple scenes, and send it all out over your video conferencing software thanks to Virtual Camera.

So good Review: Lenovo's Yoga 9i Gen obs virtual camera with OLED and speaker bar is simply superb The Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Gen7 for 2022 brings an all-new smoother, more modern design while amping up the display and audio to new highs.

But while the Intel 12th Gen P-series processor blows away even Apple’s M1 for performance, battery life is this laptop’s one weak spot. Here’s our full review.
NOTE: The horizontal flip option is bugged and will likely cause crashes. Please do not use it. If you need to flip your video, either flip the sources in OBS itself, or flip on the receiving end (i.e.

in Zoom, Skype, etc.) This plugin provides a DirectShow Output as a virtual webcam.

How to use: OBS Virtualcam has two main methods for outputting video from OBS. The first is the Preview output, which is enabled from the Tools menu. This output will provide exactly what you see in the Preview in OBS, including any changes or scenes you might switch to. This is the most common method, and probably what you would want to use. Preview Output: 1. Select Tools -> VirtualCam in the main OBS Studio window 2.

Press the Start button, then close the dialog 3. Open your program (Zoom, Hangouts, Skype, etc.) and choose OBS-Camera as your webcam The next method is a filter that you can add to any scene or source, if you only want to output that specific scene or source, and nothing else. Source Filter: 1. Add a VirtualCam filter to the scene/source you want to output to the virtual camera 2.

Choose a camera target then press Start 3. If the button does not change to Stop, it means obs virtual camera camera is already in use, and you must choose a different camera or stop the other output first. 4. Open your program (Zoom, Hangouts, Skype, etc.) and choose the camera you selected as the target as your webcam Why are the resolution and framerate sometimes not the same as my OBS output settings? If you open an OBS-Camera device in a 3rd party application before starting the output in OBS, OBS-Camera will default to 1080p 30fps.

If you start OBS first, it will use whatever is set as the Output resolution and framerate in OBS Studio's options, under Settings -> Video.

Does this plugin support other platforms? For Linux, you can use the Video4Linux sink plugin for OBS Studio. Directions on how to configure it are available from that link. Work is underway to provide a similar plugin for macOS, but there is no ETA. Known issues - Skype from the Windows Store doesn't work with the OBS-Camera, please use Skype Desktop Edition instead. - Unity can't get image obs virtual camera virtualcam, please use register batch ( reg_path.reg) in release page to manually add dummy device path .(note: The registry conflict with skype desktopyou can use unreg_path.reg to remove it) Donate Please consider donating to CatxFish, the original author of this plugin.

Paypal.me Plugin works excellently. For others that are looking at using this plugin, when you use this plugin it will draw extra power from whatever source you are using. In my use case I had 2 elgato cam links linked up with a dual streaming PC setup. For some reason the plugin made the source itself crash everytime I pressed a windows button (once the virtual cams were running) or whenever I pressed start everything would crash or go black.

I solved this issue by using 1 elgato cam link and 1 elgato 4K60S+. The 4K60S+ has a dedicated power supply that caused my motherboard to have some extra juice and now everything is running fine.

If this plugin makes your camera crashdisables it entirely or you are having trouble, there is a very high chance the motherboard cannot draw enough power obs virtual camera the device. This plugin is not for laptops, or like my case a Mini-ITX motherboard. Lowering the resolution (which will also lower power consumption) will be a workaround to get things working but in my case I needed quality as well. If you have an external camera, consider buying a USB 3.0 hub WITH A DEDICATED POWER SUPPLY (not just USB).

This will most probably solve your issue. If you have an internal camera then try lowering your resolution if you don't care about quality.

Otherwise it is time to upgrade. There is only so much software can do, hardware needs to be working to. 3 hours of debugging later will hopefully help others as well. I'm not sure how I downloaded this, but it has stopped me from using the camera during my Google Meet sessions for that last 3 months. Everything I've tried, including uninstalling OBS and deleting any registry keys I could find still does not fix the problems this add-on creates.

3 months worth of problems! Hours and hours of attempted and failed fixes! I'm frustrated to the point that I'm ready to start reporting this add-on as obs virtual camera in the hopes that Google or some other company will help me find a fix.
