Adding Zoom to the list of streaming services.

[DaBoom]

As many of us I am now forced to conduct my lessons online. As someone who is totally new to streaming it is quite a project to learn how to work with all this stuff and to set it all up. Zoom is highly recommended (and indeed it works great). However Zoom is not on the list of services in the dropdown menu in the setup wizzard of OBS. I have watched many youtube video's, but none of them are really helpful: I am stuck!

Would it not be great if we could just select Zoom in the dropdown menu and have it work?! (alternatively a clear step-by-step guide would be most welcome!)

Zoom is not an RTMP video streaming service. You have to use their client, with the obs-virtualcam plugin to emulate a webcam output for use with it.

Also, Zoom is an absolute digital privacy nightmare with their datamining policies in place, allowing them to scrape HUGE amounts of personal data from every system connected to the call.
