I have tried uninstalling OBS and installing older versions of OBS but still the same thing happens.

(in my case it happens to me with the ZOOM program)

Versions with which I have tested it.
OBS 26.1 x64
OBS 26.0 x64
OBS 25.0.8 x64 (using obs-virtualcam-2.0.5 plugin)
OBS 24.0.3 x64 (using obs-virtualcam-2.0.5 plugin)

In all the green screen appears.

Hello,

Thank you for the information work that I have seen here, today I have a company event and this has begun to happen to me, if it could be solved in some way I would appreciate it.

I have the same problem, I use the ZOOM program and OBS Studio. If I use Zoom it doesn't happen but when I open "Virtual OBS Camera" it turns green.

This went away for months for me and I had turned off hardware acceleration in Teams. Now it has come back GRRRR.
I thought this was a windows thing. I am not happy again.

As this happens to me in Teams and Zoom, I am not sure if it is not a windows issue? I am going through my computer this Christmas and trying to strip out what I don't need to run on start up. Maybe that will help me out?

I am trying to install this program too to noodle around with it. I keep trying to dive in the architecture of my OS and I come up with bupkis.

has someone already looked whether the whole thing also happens with xsplit, for example? We are just guzzling around in our sauce the whole time, but apparently it affects a lot of virtual devices

Can I use xplit without an account on youtube, twitch, facebook etc. I am a museum educator who uses teams and zoom instead. However, this may work for me in my personal life..... :D

The same thing happened to me using OBS, I look good, but the members see me as green and it is quite annoying.

I found this momentary solution. It is tedious because you have to be a host but it works.

Hello again, I just wrote to official Zoom support and got (immidiately) following news. (Which I was allowed to share).

"
Thanks for contacting Zoom Technical Support!

I understand your concern regarding the green filter appearing on your video.

Regarding that, please know that this is a known issue that our engineering team is currently working to resolve. The issue is that a green overlay on camera view is being sent from the meeting host when on the Windows desktop client to the participants' clients.

The workaround right now is for the host of the meeting (who is on Windows client) to disable "use hardware acceleration for receiving video". There is no need to adjust any other settings aside from this one.

I hope this clarifies things for you. If there is anything else I can do for you or you have any further questions, feel free to let us know. "

Hi PeterSpace,
Thanks for the share. Unfortunately, even changing that setting on Zoom and on Teams didn't do it for me. I hope Zoom is able to talk to Microsoft and sort this thing out because this is becoming more frequent for me.

I have had the same issue with Zoom and Teams on two different computers. I have multiple cameras set up on both machines and other power-pulling peripherals plugged in as well and thought that maybe it was caused by a lack of power but after testing that hypothesis, that is not the case. I am also running x-split AND StreamFX.

The issue seems gone after upgrading to the latest 26.1.x

I wish that was the case for me. Typically, I have to wait for everyone to get on the call and then cycle through turning my camera on and then off to make it go away. Even then, it is not a sure thing. It can flip to green whenever it wants. GRRRRR! Oh well, what can you do.

Have you tried to disable hardware acceleration in Teams?

Just as a test?

I'm also experiencing this on Microsoft Teams and haven't found a solution yet.

Here are some details on my setup:
  • While streaming, I was also recording my meeting using Teams
  • GPU Hardware acceleration was disabled in Teams.
  • OBS 26.1 x64
  • Laptop: Dell Precision 5530
  • 32 GB Ram
At the time, OBS was set to use the "Power Saving" GPU: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630. I've since changed my settings to the "High Performance" GPU: NVIDIA Quadro P1000. I'm pretty new to OBS, but my instincts would tell me that I probably want to use my dedicated GPU for OBS; but maybe I'm wrong.

I was having the same “Green screen of death" issue on Discord.
The solution is simple. Run OBS as Admin.
If you have administrator rights, Please try it.

I worked for me!!!....thanks FX8350!!!!... Actually, I had issues a few months ago with Excel too (it kept freezing without crashing with small files with links) and the solution was the same: run as administrator. Hope this helps other people.

I had it set to run as admin for a long time and that didn't work for me. That being said, I just bought a desk unit that has more power than my laptop and I ONLY use it for doing school programs.

New system still has issues but will try the run as admin again as, I AM the admin. :D

Thanks to all for helping out with this.

Today I used OBS and Teams and had the green screen of death again!!!! However, I remembered that I was trying to use, not the Virtual Cam that now comes included in OBS's recent updates, but the previous plugin that had to be installed separately along OBS.

So, this is my updated answer:
- Works with previous plugin (VirtualCam) that had to be installed separately only if you run OBS as Administrator. Worked nicely for me today.
- Does NOT work with current plugin included with OBS most recent version (Virtual Camera), not even if you run it as Administrator.
