I would like to help you with this question and don't claim to be an expert, but I can relate to what you're saying. I've done many attempts in my super small area, so I would experiment with lighting, distance from your camera and the color clothes your wearing along with the OBS settings. Also, know when enough is enough to. It also takes a lot of CPU power too. Like Michael says it's as good as zoom (after you figure it out), but zoom is so much easier. Good luck!
Well, I spent way too much time experimenting buying lights and a green screen in my preferred area to make videos, because it is too small. Now I go under a fluorescent light fixture with my iPhone recording it. I have a green screen in the back of me. I am not using my preferred gear on my computer, but it works for now. For my experimentations it appears to be doing well. It gives me even lighting in that small space. However, I would like to expand on that area in the future as it is really small too. I may or may not be able to with limited amount of space. I would spend a little bit of time with the Background Removal settings before I give up. Just not too much time. LOL. Also, calculate mask frame every x frame helps it to stay put, However, you really need to not move too much or you'll move in and out of the area that is covered. Good luck!
Well, that Max Frame feature is available for Mac. Their might be something available for Win. too? I don't know which computer you're on. If you're on a Mac, their "Keynote" that comes included in the Mac OS I just discovered has a virtual green screen included. After playing with it for a while it seems to be on par with zoom and the rest of them. I don't think any of them with technology at this point in time are perfect. I am not a streamer, but my other thought is maybe you should consider using the effects filters that you can download or come stock with OBS to simply change the look of your area that you're playing in? Be inventive maybe? If you still want a background remover then try a physical green screen. Not sure what you might have access to, but If you are in a big room I would get the green screen and get the necessary lighting. It just has to be even. You can get a green screen that fits nicely on your gaming chair and is not too expensive either. It's a big circle. I've actually seen people on youtube that will improvise a DIY green screen as OBS does a great job of taking whatever you have and fixing it like wrinkles and stuff. I would just watch some youtube videos for ideas. Good luck!
I don't know if this helps, but I can't seem to use OBS past 27.2.4. on an intel Mac Monterey without crashing. It would close every time the first time I would close out a window. So 28 doesn't seem to work for me. Another thing I figured out how to instal BR in 27.2.4. and sooner, but I don't know how to install it past that. Do you know how? Well, I'm thinking it's my Mac configuration that isn't allowing 28 not to work, so if I do then with your help I will get BR working. The file structure seems to be different. I don't know where to install the files. Thanks.
This doesn’t not work. I assume I’m doing something wrong. When I download it it says can’t be recognized by third party. When I allow it I stilll don’t get the plug-in in filters. What am I doing wrong. I’m in Mac
Having the same issue here. Guess this is what I get for updating lol...
I am using the latest OBS on a MAC and after upgrading to the latest OBS and the latest background removal plugin - the plugin is not being shown in my options to apply to my Video Capture Device. This is on a MAC
Hi there! This is such a great bit of kit! Seem to be having real issues installing this onto my M1 Mac....copy and pasting into "Contents" but not showing up in OBS Would you have any suggestions? Thanks
This version isn't working with the version OBS v29 on the Mac.
