Disable OBS Virtual Webcam after use?

Hi there,

I encounter the following issue: I record a scene with OBS, using the VideoCapture, everything works fine. However, later on, any software using the 'video 0' has an "OBS no camera" screen, even if I remove the VideoCapture from my scene and/or stop the virtual camera, shut down OBS altogether, or reboot. Even a hard kill on `com.obsproject.obs-studio.mac-camera-extension` in ActivityMonitor fails, and now the other program I have that uses camera 0 is stuck with the shut down OBS camera.

Is there a way to disable that somehow, to get back the webcam as camera 0? Or get the Virtual Camera to be added to the list as 1, instead of 0?

MacOS Sonoma 14.4
OBS 32.0.2
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Jeremie
