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.

I got it and I am hoping it works. If it does work, can we report this then as a bug to OBS? The reason I figured it was OBS and not the OS or programs is it seemed to happen not matter what anyone did.

Fingers crossed for me!

And I need to figure out how to bypass the internal virtual cam and go with the previous version. XD Any thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestion to use the older virtualcam plugin instead of the built-in one. It's been only one day of testing but I have not had any green screen of deaths...

Critical problem for me because many customers prefer TEAMS.
Solution is to go through the web browser:
Go to TEAMS invite, hover and copy hyperlink for meeting.
Then go to browser, paste link, and go.
Quality is initially compromised, but clears up in about 30 seconds into Teams session.

Oddly enough,
I may have solved the issue inadvertently. I went into teams and told it my camera was OBS-Camera, not OBS-Virtual Camera. That seems to have done it for now. Don't get it, but it does.

If anyone is still having this problem, I fixed it by going to Settings>Advanced>Video Section -- Set "Color Range" to "Limited" instead of "Full". Up to that point, none of the other solutions posted here had worked for me.

I hope this helps!

That worked perfectly for me then. Changing this setting probably means that the applications making use of the virtual camera don't support extended colors or the full range of colors for the color space reported to the applications. In my particular case, the color space was Rec. 709 and the color space was "Full". When I changed it to "Limited" it worked on both, Teams and Zoom. Thanks again Satch!

Actually, one of my colleague discovered how to trigger the "green screen of the death", and, surprisingly, the trigger is done via a resizing of the TEAMS screen on ANOTHER PARTICIPANT IN THE CALL.
Meaning, if someone in the call maximize it's TEAMS window, then it triggers, on my laptop, the green screen of the death. I'd really be interested to know what's happening behind this technically ! Curious :)

@ScanxTaz tested the same thing and happens to me ONLY in 1:1 meetings where the other person resizes their MS Teams window. I've tried all these things and i wonder if it's to do with the resolution on the other side changing when the screen is maximised. Still looking for a permanent fix.
