Question / Help How to use OBS as webcam source

[jojofromjory]

Hello,

I've been using XSplit for some time but I've been having issues with it, so I'm trying OBS now.

The software looks just like XSplit but it's Open Source and works as well.

When I was using XSplit, I could use it as a video source in Manycam (as if it was a webcam), is there any possibility to install or create some virtual driver or something from OBS so that I can also select OBS as webcam in Manycam?

Greetings and thanks in advance,
Jojo

This is not possible right now.

I'd love to see a virtual camera out feature as well.

It would allow to ingest a big variety of video sources to programs that only support webcams per se.

Yes please! This is the only things stopping me from using this software for my particular needs. This would allow OBS' output to be used as a source for basically any streaming server type that has some way to stream a source to it. For example Windows Media Encoder, Expression Encoder Pro, etc.

How do we get this included? Can't be too hard of an addition. I'm in for a few bucks. Any C++ developers?

This would be great. I found OBS today and thought it was an answer to my prayers to use on my website.
