Question / Help OBS Virtual Camera Not Showing Up In Facebook Messenger

[sotspodcast]

I do a lot of interviews on my livestreams. Google Hangouts & Skype work perfect with virtual cam but Messenger doesn't notice the virtual camera as a source. Is there some sort of workaround anyone has found for this?

did you ever figure this out?

I've had this problem - it doesn't work with Chrome or the windows app, but it does work with Firefox

Same problem here. The virtual camera seems to work with all other systems except Facebook Messenger.

Does anyone have the solution?

I am having the same issue.

Would be really useful if this would work. Especially with the FB rooms now available

Do you know why it works for Firefox and not Chrome?

Installed the app. When I turn on the OBS Virtual Cam in the app the image is frozen on messenger with a green bar through half of it.
