How to set up a virtual cam for usage in zoom

I have version 26.02 for Mac. Of what I read on the forum already, this version should already integrate a virtual cam that can be used with zoom.us. I just can't figure out how. Can anybody point to to instructions how to do this? Please.

Once you install the plugin (only the Windows version has it baked in during install right now), make sure to turn on the camera in OBS (Tools -> Start Virtual Camera). In Zoom, you should also see a camera input called "OBS Virtual Camera."

FWIW... I found that if you're going to be including text/slides in your scenes, you might actually do better with using a windowed projector and screen sharing just that window. I noticed Zoom used a lower resolution (and did some touching up, even when turned off) when doing just my video, but broadcasted at a higher resolution when screen sharing. I was doing some code demos and folks weren't able to read it until I screenshared a projected window. Hope that helps!
