OBS-VirtualCam 2.0.4

[mdb_ch]

Hello to all

I have the same problem shown in post #303. When I am opening the obs camera in microsoft teams or zoom it's blurry and unsharp. When I open the virtual camera in vlc it's showing the input at a ratio of 4:3 automaticlly. That's wrong. My set output in obs is 16:9. Could that be part of the problem?

Virtual camera works well with Skype but I cannot make it work with the zoom application on Windows 10. Zoom application gives the error saying: Cannot start video Failed to start the video camera....

TL:DR the current version of Zoom is not compatible with the Virtual Cam DLL.

You need to install the previous version of Zoom (4.67): https://d11yldzmag5yn.cloudfront.net/prod/4.6.18176.0301/ZoomInstaller.exe

@feral, you are a life-saver! I've spent the last two days installing uninstalling versions of OBS, Virtual Cam, and Zoom trying to find the magic sauce. I'd finally found 4.1 to work as well; but this is way better. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, this solved our problem and we decided to switch from WebEx to Zoom (paid Zoom)

Hi all.. I'm in desperate need of help with this plugin.

Each time I try to use it as a source on either Zoom or Skype, it crashes the chatting program. OBS still stays on just fine, but the zoom chat closes, tries to reopen the meeting, and then closes immediately.

I really need this for my work so any help is appreciated.

Thank you, Scott

(edited to add... I have tried to install the old zoom linked above, to no avail.

Also, when I downloaded it I unwittingly created a new destination folder called OBS Plugins instead of the original OBS because I was afraid it would override. So I downloaded the zip file, and copy/pasted the files in manually... and then used a youtube video to show me how to run a command to register it with Windows)

 

[leotheleopardnz]

Okay so this is just not installing for me at all. I run the installer and it installs to where I have OBS installed, I run OBS and there's nothing new in my Tools menu. I install it manually, get errors through the whole thing because apparently the DLL doesn't exist, finally manage to get that done and yet there is still nothing new in my tools menu. Did I do something wrong somehow by downloading the exe and running it?

Just registered to say thanks for this. Was pulling my hair our trying to figure out why it would detect the Virtual Cam but wouldn't show an image.

I think...... something to the same effect has caused Skype to stop working too. My Skype with OBS VC was working today... I had to update in order to reboot - when I loaded Skype, Windows had changed all it's permissions back to "No" and I had to re-allow Skype mic and webcam access. When I did, Skype no longer even shows Virtual Cam as an option in the list now.

Okay so this is just not installing for me at all. I run the installer and it installs to where I have OBS installed, I run OBS and there's nothing new in my Tools menu. I install it manually, get errors through the whole thing because apparently the DLL doesn't exist, finally manage to get that done and yet there is still nothing new in my tools menu. Did I do something wrong somehow by downloading the exe and running it?

I also have this issue. I have tried both the manual install as well as the auto install. Both says it successfully registers the DLL files however nothing is appearing in the OBS > Tools tab.
I can find the webcam source in Discord, but it just comes up with a grey screen when I test it.
Please help!

Thanks

EDIT:
Found this in the OBS logs:
21:11:37.292: Module '../../obs-plugins/64bit/obs-virtualoutput.dll' not loaded
Hope this helps in finding the issue.

Im trying to get it to work with programs in chrome, discord is detecting it but windows isn't showing OBS-Camera in device manager, and chrome isnt detecting a webcam, any fixes?

Windows 10.

OBS 25.0.1 running latest virtual web cam plugin.
Make sure you start virtual web cam first... Tools-VirtualCam and click start button.

Hello everybody,

I am just starting to use OBS and would like to use the tool in conjunction with OBS VirtualCam.

I have installed everything with the installer. It works just as well under de.webcamtests.com as in Microsoft Teams.

Unfortunately the camera is not shown in Skype. Teamviewer always crashes. In Zoom I have a gray screen. In the device manager in Windows under Cameras no OBS camera is shown (maybe that's normal).

I have already installed and tested the 64bit version, but it didn't help.

Do you have an idea?

Thx und regards!

 

[scottylmt]

To anybody who has gotten this to work with the previous version of zoom... would you mind sharing your settings with me?

I downloaded the previous version of zoom linked by Feral, and it says VIDEO NOT RECOGNIZED, CHOOSE ANOTHER CAMERA.

Please help I need this for work!

I created an account to thank you :)

I'dont even see the OBS-Cam in Skype. I still reinstalled Teamviewer, because I can't change the camera source anymore (OBS-Cam was preselected) and Teamviwer allways crash when I choose camera settings...

In the meantime, I tested Xsplitter. It works with Zoom (watermark) but even Teamviewer crashes an Skype don't show the cam.

I am new to this forum so forgive me if I am asking a newbie question. I am using the Virtual-Camera plugin with Sony A6300. I have to use the sony remote application for my a6300 to be used in OBS which works great. When I attempt to use the Virtual camera all I get is a black screen. To my understanding I have done everything correctly but I could have missed something. There were no errors during the install, I have rebooted any advice is appreciated. I want to use the virtual camera for Zoom has anyone had success? I am using a laptop Windows 10 64bit thanks in advance for your help
