The difference is if you want to output the whole preview, or just a specific scene or source. You would only one of those methods at a time. For most use cases, you want the Tools menu.
New here, having zero success getting this installed.
Can I confirm a few things?
I DL'd and unzipped the entire folder (obs-virtual-cam-master) into OBS root directory.
Start OBS, no virtual Cam under tools.
I read the Readme, and tried to run
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\32bit\obs-virtualsource.dll"
As Admin, but it fails.
The file in question does not exist in that location.
What am I missing?

In fact, mine doesn't even try to install.

You downloaded the wrong zip, what you downloaded is the source code not the plugin.
Is there some reason you can't use the installer?
If you can't use the installer (also on this page, and recommended), you should be grabbing the zip file from the releases page here: https://github.com/Fenrirthviti/obs-virtual-cam/releases

Again, this crash log is not sufficient information for me to see what's going on. I need you to create a minidump file and PM it to me, following the directions here while the "Oops! OBS has crashed" dialog is still open: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/598/

Can you be more specific? Doesn't show up where? Can you provide an OBS log?

Is there a VirtualCam plug-in for OBS on the Mac?
Looking for the same thing, haven't found anything online :(

There is a work-in-progress version for macOS here: https://github.com/johnboiles/obs-mac-virtualcam
But please note this is not final, so it is likely to have some bugs.

Solved!! at least for my issue
Alright, I had the same issue of the "virtual cam" not showing up in tools!
After many reinstalls(.exe and .zip) and restarts, I found the issue (for me)
I had OBS pinned to my taskbar so I just kept opening it like that.
The one in my taskbar though was the in appdata/roaming folder hierarchy for some reason
BUT the one it was installing to was C:\program files
Once I finally opened the OBS one from inside there it showed up...
SOOOOO stupid but glad I figured it out on time before my live stream performance
hope this helps somebody out there.
WHY TF is there a separate OBS in app data?
