Hi, I just recently installed Virtual Camera for OBS and I've been doing tests for several days now trying to figure out how to use OBS-Camera 2, 3 and 4. For the life of me, I can only get one of them usable at a given time.

I hope I can explain what I'm trying to achieve here:
- I have a video from a website (WEB VIDEO) which I then enter into OBS, add the necessary captions, logos, and share to a Zoom meeting that I'm hosting (ZOOM 1). OBS outputs this via OBS-Camera(1) which I then use as my "webcam" in THE Zoom meeting.
- Next I open gallery view (GALLERY VIEW) of my Zoom meeting with all the little pictures of the participants and enter this as a new scene in OBS. Now I am hoping to output this scene to OBS-camera2 and use it as my webcam for another Zoom meeting (ZOOM 2) where I have to report participants of ZOOM 1. Somehow it doesn't work that way though. I am only able to output to one OBS vitual camera at one time. My question is what are the other virtual cameras used for? Am I missing something or is it something that is just not possible to do with OBS for the time being?

In short this is what I am trying to do:
- Obs-camera1 to ZOOM 1 showing WEB VIDEO
- Obs-camera2 to ZOOM 2 showing GALLERY VIEW from ZOOM 1

I hope someone can help me out with this. OBS is a great software and I've been very happy with it. Thanks to all who have developed such a great piece of software!

In short; add a filter to your scene
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/how-to-use-the-other-virtual-cameras.120308/

Long version; I am a newbie and wanted to have two virtual cameras for ZOOM
camera #1; Canon EOS 5D Mark III (Magic Lantern) video capture card output with horizontal flip effect
camera #2; Logitech BRIO (set up as a document camera) with both vertical and horizontal flip effect

  1. Set up two scenes
  2. For each scene, in scene sources, add video capture device source
  3. For each scene, in the scene itself (right mouse click then plus sign), add filter, virtual camera, target is the obs-camera(x)
When you are done, open ZOOM and obs-camera(x) is the scene output virtual obs-camera(x)

Hope this helps!

Can you please describe this step with some images? I can't find the "virtual camera" button anywhere
Click to expand...
Try the following:
For each scene, right mouse click on the scene, choose "virtual camera", then pops up filter window, click "+", then add the virtual camera filter (= output) you wish for this scene.
