How to make OBS Virtual camera appears on the device manager?

[issflux]

I want to emulate a web camera - a virtual camera that acts just like the real thing. It needs to appear in the device manager (win 10).

I already tried all popular virtual cameras such as OBS camera, many cam, logitech caputre tool... but none of them appear on the device manager. They work fine with Zoom, Teams and all but I need the OS to detect it as a real camera. I need to emulate the hardware it seems. How do I go about it?

I believe There is already an existing driver for OBS Virtual Camera that do this work!

I had to do something like this as I had 2 cameras that were showing up as the same type of camera, so I needed to have a different driver for either. I did something and it worked. I used a downloadable camera driver that allows you to see your camera in WIndows (like you can look at the camera's output in a window on Windows).

I have forgotten which driver I used, but it allowed me to setup my OBS with 2 cameras that had the same names and so OBS couldn't see them both.

Look around the internet for a camera driver. It should work I am sure there are probably many of them to choose.

It may offer to setup something virtual.

However if they don't it's not really a big deal, you should be able to get a camera for about 5 dollars online or at a resale phone shop/used pawn shop. Not maybe a perfect camera, but a camera that works. That's what I did. In fact I have about 5 or 6 cameras on that computer including the laptop camera. If you plug it into the USB the computer should see it as a camera that has its own name and shows up as a device in device manager.
