Everything works perfectly for me with both OBS Camera and OBS Virtual Camera. There is only one problem: whoever receives my screenshot, sees it grainy, out of focus. How come? Is it due to the fact that the video resolution of OBS adapts to the max resolution of the program I'm going to use (in my case Google Meet)?

Download VB-Cable (donationware) . . . did the trick for me. Settings for OBS --> Audio . . . Under Advanced section, Monitoring Device -- set the monitoring to VB-Cable. Then make sure your audio sources in OBS are each set to monitor (or monitor and output) in the advanced audio properties popup box. Then select VB-Cable in Zoom as the audio source. Works like a charm. :-)
Did you ever get an answer to this or figure out how to get the OBS virtual camera to show up as a camera option to choose in Powerpoint? I have the exact same challenge as you do (recording for a course) but haven't figured out how to do this after spending a couple of hours.
thanks.
Here's how I do that:
- Create a Scene with only the capture device or camera you want to send to Virtual Cam.
- Right clic the Scene > Filters.
- Add a VirtualCam filter and choose a name (doesn't matter).
- Select one of the virtual cams and hit Start (you have to do this every time you restart OBS)
Hope this help you.
I did all that previously but I can never get the OBS Virtual Camera to show up in powerpoint (see screenshots...I'm running windows 10 on a Mac). It appears that when OBS is running, it gets an exclusive "lock" on the built in camera (Facetime HD in this case) OBS Virtual camera is not available in powerpoint nor is the Facetime camera anymore (see screenshots), just two other virtual cameras from other apps which do show up for some reason. OBS Virtual Camera is also not available to other apps (at least in windows...on the Mac OS OBS Virtual Camera is available, but unfortunately Powerpoint slideshow video capture is not enabled on the Mac, only audio).
I have this same issue. There is nothing in Power Point settings to be done. Getting this to work would be ACE!
having similar issues of installing but it not showing up at all.

Bro, I am having the same issue. When I am starting the virtual cam from tools it's perfectly fine and when I am doing it from the filters, it's crashing. Did you find a fix?Hi developer,I have an error when press "start" in filter form.
Crashed when starting OBS Virtual Cam 2.0.5 in OBS26
The same problem also occurs in Vcam2.0.4 in OBS24 Here is the crash log: Unhandled exception: c0000005 Date/Time: 2020-10-05, 11:28:09 Fault address: 7FFF2AAA12DE (c:\windows\system32\vcruntime140.dll) libobs version: 24.0.3 (64-bit) Windows version: 10.0 build 18362 (revision: 356; 64-bit)...obsproject.com
And the VirtualCam selected from the "Tools" drop-down menu has no effect after being turned on

I really LOVE this plugin, used it so much in the past.
What would make it perfect is a audio output! I use the VB audio driver
but this is not the best solution because i cant use the monitor output as monitor output anymore.
Are there any plans to add a virtual audio output to this plugin?

Now that Virtual Camera is included in OBS, is there a way to have multiple virtual cameras output anymore?
I sometimes switch between two scenes when broadcasting to youtube live. One has the actual camera capture, the other is a window capture of zoom with multiple people on it. I've found that switching between the scenes sometimes keeps the camera "Activated" in OBS and tied up instead of allowing Zoom to use it even if I click the checkbox to "deactivate when not showing".
I'd like to run two copies of OBS at the same time. One would just duplicate the USB camera to two virtual cameras, the other would be the main one running the stream using one virtual camera while Zoom would use the other virtual camera.
