OBS VirtualCam is crashing my browsers (Edge, Chrome, Opera)

[Ariakan972]

Hi,

I have an issue when OBS VirtualCam is installed and I try to access to my webcams within a browser (It does the same with Edge, Chrome and Opera).

When I'm using a website that ask for a webcam (this one for example : https://www.onlinemictest.com/webcam-test/ ), the moment the browser is going to ask me if I allow it to use any webcam, it crashes. No error message, nothing, it's closing and that's it.

I found that this is when OBS VirtualCam is installed, because when I uninstall it, everything works fine. (I have the popup asking me if I allow using the camera, then I have the camera). When I reinstall the OBS VirtualCam, I can't see the popup, it just crashes.

Thank you for your help. :)

Edit : I'm on Windows 11 and OBS 29.1.3, everything is up to date.

I was wondering if it was Webkit / Blink the problem, but the problem occurs with Firefox (Gecko) too.
This browser lets me choose the webcam when I want to use my webcam. All other webcams worked, but OBS VirtualCam made Firefox crash.

I made an issue on github, with crash logs for Edge, Firefox and Chrome : https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/9585

Ok, now it's fixed. I'm not sure what did the trick, but I did it. :)
