OBS Virtual Camera not showing in Zoom

[Honcho Jude]

I've been successfully using OBS and Zoom for several weeks. Suddenly, I cannot access the OBS virtual camera in Zoom. I select 'OBS Virtual Camera' in Zoom, but I see a blank screen. If I switch off the Virtual Camera in OBS, Zoom does not display the OBS Logo as it does when everything works OK.

After the update, same thing here: crashes in Teams using Virtual Camera; no show in any tool for browser, like Google Meet.

I didn't do an update. I just stopped working! I hope someone here has a solution.

When I first go to Zoom, I see a blank screen. Not the OBS logo, just a blank screen.
If I then change the camera to something other than OBS Virtual Camera and press Start Video, then I get the obvious message that the camera is NOT available (It's being used by OBS).
OK, so here's the strange part. If I then change the camera back to OBS Virtual Camera, I get the same message - NOT available!

HELP!!

You must have upgraded automatically, because the logfile you linked is showing "OBS 27.2.2 (64-bit, windows)" which has the blank screen issue myself and others are experiencing. OBS 27.2.1 does not have the issue, revert to 27.2.1 will get you back up and running.

Thanks MartyPG13. I've just realised that I'm now running 27.2.2 after an update. So, this is an issue for other users; I'm glad I'm not alone!
I'm currently trying to find a copy of 27.2.1 to re-install. So far, unsuccessfully. Can you point me in the right direction?

A google of
OBS studio "27.2.1" download
provides a few links so you can look for a site you trust to download from. TheTechSpot one scans safe.

I have downloaded OBS 27.2.1
When I try to install, it asks me to close Zoom and also 'CefSharpBrowserSubprocess'.
I go to Task Manager and successfully close Zoom. However, when I try to exit from CefBrowserSubprocees, nothing happens. Is there an alternative way of closing CefBrowserSubProcess?

OK, it looks like OBS have now released an update that fixes the problem. I'm up and running again. Many thanks to you, MartyPG13, for your help. :-)
