I’m trying to record vertical/portrait video in OBS for social media (TikTok, Instagram Reels, etc.).
When I add my FaceTime HD Camera as a Video Capture Device, it only gives me landscape (16:9) options like 1920x1080, 1280x720, etc. I can rotate the transform, but then I get black bars or it crops strangely instead of filling the canvas properly.
Question:
Thanks for any advice — I’d love to avoid a clunky workaround if possible.
- OBS version: 31.1.2
- Mac: [Sequoia 15.6]
- Base (Canvas) Resolution: 1080x1920 (9:16)
- Output (Scaled) Resolution: 1080x1920 (9:16)

Question:
- Is there a way to get OBS to directly capture FaceTime in vertical (9:16) format?
- Or is the only solution to rotate and crop every time?
- Are there custom resolution settings or a plugin I need to use?
