You are not expecting anything from Depth through Video Capture Source. Green screen removal of RealSense camera supposed to be a separated source from plug-in. However, I used to have my SR300 worked in long ago but tried to set up again today with latest OBS and RealSense drivers+SDK. Sadly, installation of OBS did not provide an option to install RealSense plug-in. Predictably such plug-in did not appear when I want to add a source.

I am multi-replying. So, please ask questions on the same thread for my convenience: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/intel-realsense-435-camera.120808/
I successfully set my SR300 camera up on OBS. The following steps are what I believe made difference:
I successfully set my SR300 camera up on OBS. The following steps are what I believe made difference:
- Install driver of your camera. Search for the download page with your camera model number ("SR300" for me and "driver"). Mine is "intel_rs_sdk_offline_package_10.0.26.0396.exe" from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25044/Intel-RealSense-Depth-Camera-Manager?product=92329
- Install SDK. Mine is "intel_rs_sdk_offline_package_10.0.26.0396.exe" from https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/realsense-sdk-windows-eol.html
- Install OBS version 24. It is the highest version which let you select RealSense camera plug-in during installation, but not v.35. Mine is "OBS-Studio-24.0.3-Full-Installer-x64.exe" from https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/24.0.3
- Connect your camera on USB3 or newer port.
- Launch OBS.
- Add new source -> "Intel(R) RealSense(TM) 3D Camera GreenScreen".
- Check your luck!
- Depends on your camera, you may need newer driver (DCM) and SDK instead of above: https://www.intelrealsense.com/sdk-2/
- And if you are using Mac, choose OBS version 24 dmg file: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/24.0.6
I have a D435 which needs the 2.0 SDK. I am not getting it to work with the workflow you describe. I can manually install the RealSense SDK which includes the drivers and then, the camera generally works. When I install OBS and select the plugin, too, OBS tries to install an old SDK Version (2016 R2) which is not working because there are some vcredist files missing. However, the OBS installation succeeds and I can choose the Intel Realsense Input in OBS. But I don't get an image...
Any ideas?

The current OBS plugin depends on background removal functionality which was removed, pun intended, from the 2.0 version of the RealSense SDK. The newer D4xx cameras only work with the new SDK.
However, the new SDK does include some *example code* for background removal, so I got it working by modifying the align-advanced code sample to transmit NDI using the NDI SDK (because I use NDI extensively anyway in my streaming). I also set it to use a pixel format with alpha (BGRA) and had it fill in the background pixels with transparency instead of the color grey. OBS magically does the right thing with this.
It is equally plausible that this approach could be wrapped up in a new OBS plugin.
If that sounds like more coding than you want to take on, my other suggestion is to launch "rs-align-advanced.exe" which is in the "tools" directory of the RealSense SDK 2.0 installation, then do a window capture of that, and apply a chroma key filter on the grey background. I have not tested that but it may work.
