How to differentiate Video Capture Device by Scene?

Hi There,

I have one webcam.

Currently I have three scenes that all use the same Video Capture Device source to display my webcam. I have a mask applied to that Video Capture Device source, so that my webcam is a circle.

I would like to add a scene where my webcam is rectangular. However, if I add the existing Video Capture Device and remove the mask, it removes the mask for all the scenes and ruins my other scenes. If I try and add another Video Capture Device and using the same webcam as the device, nothing happens. The webcam picture is blank.

Is it possible to use the same webcam with different masks in different scenes?

Filters are global to the source they are attached to. So don't apply your filters directly to the video capture device source. Instead, put the source into a group and apply the filters to the group. Add additional instances of your device with the "add existing" option instead of "add new", so they will not show up blank. Also add these additional sources to some new group and apply filters to these new groups instead of directly to the source.
