Thanks for prompt reply and the hints - always painful to find suitable patches . Next weekend I will try to delete (or rename) the devicepath you mentioned and check and come back to you. Or maybe already then some update from you available? Keep you posted.
Version 1.2.0 add a dummy registry "device path" for solving the issue Unity can't run virtual-camera .
Unfortunately , the dummy registry confused Skype and won't work anymore.
I tried to figure out if there is a solution make this plugin compatible with both application , but got nothing.
So I decided to remove this registry in Version 1.2.1
For those who wants to use this plugin in Skype , try use version 1.2.1
For those who wants to use this plugin in Unity , please manually add dummy device path after installation . Here provides register and unregister batch file

Great job, thank you very much ))) This virtual cam is awesome )))
Hello
Very nice plugin !
I want to use twice OBS + twice obs-virtualcam in the same computer !
How to instanciate this plugin ?
Is it possible easily without recompile all source ?
If it possible with recompilation source which code I should change to have other directshow pipeline ?
Thanks

Hello
I ask you if you have a solution for linux like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AZRiW3hHrw
my pipeline is NDI -> OBS -> virtualcam -> webrtc getUsermedia
Thanks

It is designed for one to one architecture in the first place , I'm afraid you can't do this easily without modifying source code.
You may consider FFmpeg output with v4l2loopback to accomplish similar trick on Linux

I'm having this precise issue. I've run windows diagnostics to repair system files, but none come up as corrupt - I've also made sure my Visual C++ redistributables are all installed, and a few other fixes on other websites. I was running as administrator with all privileges.
Watzold Plaum implies he solved this but not how - any help? Thanks!

Hi All - I have a strange one. Everything installed just fine. The DLLs are registered, etc. I can run OBS studio and in the tools menu select Virtualcam. When I run Skype, Hangouts or any other app OBS-Virtualcam is nowhere to be found. It only lists my installed webcam. Any ideas why it's not on the list?

I installed it and successfully used it
I use it to import OBS into SkyPe so that the other party can watch what's going on through the Program Monitor.
It will ve VERY VERY useful and nice, if it behaves also a Virtual Audio, where, by the mixer, one can assign the source that would like to send to it (source by source) ...
A REASON FOR THAT:
Wich is my typical use ... (one day I will post a video here to show you what I'm doing with this great OBS)
When I use SkyPe for Video Interviews to a Singer/COmposer/Author in a streaming (generally in FB), and I change the scene showing a part of a videoclip he/she made ... I woudl like that he/she can LISTEN to THAT specific audio of THAT Scene's Source ...
In this moment, I do so:
I connect a JBLgo to the Headset Plug fo my audioboard, and I plug it in, when the Video CLip is going. She/He can listen to it in this way, then, once back in the scene where both we are visibile buy the public, I disconnect the JBLgo.
Very "Flinstone way" ... Right?
Well ... If this Virtual Cam could enable my request above, ... "Flinstones" can stay home :)

Ok, so I obviously didn't want to start a new thread, and I'm not sure the majority of this thread would be relevant in the present moment to simply getting it working.
I installed that latest version of this plugin, in the OBS software I started it (and checked autorun), and I restarted Skype (desktop version). I see the option now but all I get is a grey screen. Selecting it, I get an error when actually trying to turn video on in the chat. Is there something I'm missing - something else which needs to be done? In OBS it shows up fine. Thanks!

In obs, open tools -> VirtualCam and click the start button.

I already mentioned I did that =P
Is your OBS version 19.0.0 or later ?

Yup, all the latest versions.
I'm assuming by this response, what I did is all that's required and it should've actually worked XD
The plugin is basically contain 2 parts , the first one is a obs-plugin write to shared memory , and the other one is a camera interface read from shared memory.
So the gray screen means one of them do not access shared memory correctly , try run OBS and Skype as administrator.
If it's still not working , please provide OBS log .
