OBS 28.01 Virtual Camera output only RED rectangle on Intel Mac

[Teress]

Hi, on Intel 2019 Mac Pro and latest OBS 28.0.1 the Virtual Camera is outputting only RED screen to Microsoft Teams. Same behavior is also in latest Skype version. mimoLive app's "virtual camera" is working fine in those 2 apps.
BTW on same version of OBS and MS Teams and Skype the OBS's Virtual Camera works great on Apple Silicon M1 Ultra Mac Studio. All SW versions are the most recent ones.
Please have a look at it someone. Thanks...

Same problem here with latest OBS 28.0.1 on Intel 2017 iMac.

The screen is RED in Skype and GREEN in Webex when using OBS Virtual Camera. But it seems to work in Zoom.

Curiously, if Zoom's video configuration window is open and both apps running at the same time, then the image is correctly projected in Skype or any other app. Once Zoom video settings and the app are closed, the video disappears from Skype again.

That was my plan but did not find where exactly to do it.

thanks for your answer. At least I'm not alone. I just wonder how can Zoom app have impact on OBS Virtual Camera which is standalone plugin deep in system folder.

+1 on OBS 29.
Works with Zoom OK, but not with Brave browser on Mac (at least) - Twillio or Zoom API in the browser.

In OBS 29, the virtual camera works in Zoom, but NOT in Screenflow and NOT in Microsoft Teams. I tried the whole "unsign" thing and that doesn't work.

same for me. It's works with Zoom and with Teams in Webbrowser. But Teams as APP only see red rectangle. If I switch off the virtual camera teams see the OBS logo.
MAC is IMAC 27" 2020 Intel based with Ventura 13.1 / OBS Version 29.00. Before I upgraded to that OBS version all was running smooth.
IO Tried also to reinstall teams but no way. I did not get it working. Any idea?
