Hi folks. I've been using OBS and VirtualCam with Teams for my lectures. I've had an issue with both Teams and Zoom where, during some meetings, the camera will freeze. OBS itself seems to be running fine, and people can still hear my audio. In order to get it back working I have to close Teams/Zoom, and OBS, and restart them both (and sometimes restart the machine). Not sure how to troubleshoot this, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. OBS makes teaching online a lot smoother when it works properly, so I'd really like to keep using it.

Don't use the horizontal flip in the virtual-cam settings. It is buggy and prone to crashing the program. If you need to flip the display, right-click the scene or source and look for the horizontal or vertical flip in the "Transform" dialog.

I am having issues getting the virtual cam to show up as a camera in my stream yard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Was very excited to use VirtualCam but it does not display in the drop-down menu of Tools. Tried multiple uninstalls and re-installs. Using 32-bit version on Windows 10. Is there an update on known issues?

Hello to all ;-) Yes I agree it should be a great idea, so the meeting attendants see something personal while we're trying to solve technical issues, or prepare the scenes.
Thanks for this great plugin and great software !

On macOS Mojave (10.14.06) the virtual cam appears but scrambled in Big Blue Button Webinar Server. Even the start picture is scrambled.
Everything works fine in MS Teams.
Skype doesn't offer the OBS virtual cam at all.
any Ideas?

I SOLVED the problem by reactivating the v-sync in advanced settings. It was switched off :-D
WoozleEffect, did you ever figure this out?

This is working as usual, my go to camera. But the new included Virtual camera is not working, so went for this one again. Love.
Unfortunately that's a long standing/known but unresolved problem (see sidemode's post in the link, below):
OBS-VirtualCam
other programs recognize "obs cam" but there is not virtual cam option in my tools drop down so i can't initialize obs virtual cam
The solution/workaround people give is to change/set the Canvas base resolution so that it matches the wanted aspect ratio, but afaik this hasn't helped someone, since the only responses i see are that it didn't help them resolving the problem =/

It refers to a plugin but the problem also occurs with OBS's built-in Virtual Camera.

Well, what i can say from my own experience is that OBS's built-in Virtual Camera seems to obey the 5:4 resolution that can be used on Omegle, and that the picture filled the whole frame, i.e. no horizontal/vertical bars.
Unfortunately i need an additional virtual camera (which OBS doesn't support). The available plugins that support multiple virtual cameras have forced 16:9 Aspect Ratio issues... I'm still hoping OBS will implement support for multiple virtual cams, but I'm not sure if they see the usefulness/importance in it =/
