I can´t find the virtual cam

[o0Julia0o]

hey, i want to use OBS Studio and the virtual cam with Jitsi. But i can´t find the virtual cam.

I am using OBS Studio 28.1.2 64bit on Windows 10.

This ist not for OBS 28: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-virtualcam.949/
You have to use this: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/virtual-cam-filter.1142/
but this is not a virtual cam i think.

So is there a virtual cam for OBS Studio 28.1.2 ?

thank you!

Here is a Screenshot of a fresh installation of OBS Studio. Normally i see in videos that the virtualcam is on the right button side. But not for me:

Here is another screenshot of the tools-menu:

You need to install obs with the installer, so it registers the virtual cam with windows. Not unpack the zip file for portable mode.

That works :-) thank you koala!

No chance to register the virtualcam manually? Or adding it als plugin?

In the "\data\obs-plugins\win-dshow" folder off of the program folder, there is a "virtualcam-install.bat" file that you can run as administrator to register manually.

Generally the installer route is preferred
