How can the virtual webcam be made visible to other applications?
I found a solution for the crashing issue. The OBS-resolution had been automatically set to 4K because I have a 4K-monitor. Setting it to 1920x1080 stopped the crashing. Thank you for the idea to check the resolution. It seems the virtual webcam cannot handle 4K.
Now I would like to use the virtual webcam as a camera in other applications such as Skype.
I am getting three scenarios:
1. Skype is not even recognizing the OBS virtual webcam as a webcam. It just says that no camera can be found.
2. The website I want to stream the OBS virtual webcam to (nightskiesnetwork.ca), recognizes the OBS virtual webcam as a source but does not show an image. The website does not need any special software for streaming, just a source in the shape of a webcam or a screen capture software such as Webcammax, Manycam or Splitcam. It is flash-based. Another website, which I also want to stream to and which is not flash based (nightskiesnetwork.com), does not recognize the OBS camera as a webcam, just like Skype.
3. Webcammax, Manycam and Splitcam all both recognize the OBS virtual webcam and show an image.
Any idea how to make e.g. Skype or the two streaming websites mentioned above see the OBS camera and its image?
