Hello.

I have installed the software and registered the dll's on a Windows 64 system.

When I launch OBS Studio the plugin appears to run (its window shows and I can click start) but no webcam appears in any software I use.

Any ideas?

Sorry for the lately reply , Is there possibility you only register 64-bit dll ? There's still many application run on 32-bit mode and they need 32-bit dll .
You can check it by OBS itself . If you registered successfully , you would see virtual-cam shows on capture source list .

Sorry , it seems impossible . The only way might be implement a driver-layer virtual camera . But there's still many problems , especially all driver need paid certificate to install , so I am not going to do this recently.

To the dev: I found an app called Webcamoid for linux. It is a webcam toy to for webcams with ability to enable a virtual webcam. I noticed it dont work for me well, but I think if someone patched it up it will work for using it as a virtual webcam. I really desire the ability to enable a virtual webcam thru OBS but youre plugin is only windows. I was wondering if you could impliment a plugin that works like webcamoid which uses ffmpeg, and v4l2loopback. source of webcamoid: https://github.com/webcamoid/webcamoid/wiki/Virtual-camera-support
I figured I would ask since people want to stay in Linux vs windows for everything.

I'd be willing to pay $50 for this once the audio integration (microphone) is done! Any ideas what the timeframe for that next update is?

I have the latest version of Skype and OBS. Just installed both and LOVE OBS. I also just installed the Virtual Cam Plugin. But OBS is not showing as an option in Skype. I followed the instructions, went to "Tools, Logitech Brio, Start" closed the dialogue box and opened Skype.All I see there is "Logitech Brio." When I run Skype is says "camera in use by another device."

How do I get Skype to recognize the plugin?

Thanks for any help. I am not very techy. If you reply, please provide instructions fit for a 7 year old!

Stiletto,

https://go.skype.com/classic.skype

Go to this page and install the "Classic" version of Skype. Then log out of the Skype that's built in with windows and login in to this one.

Personally, I am experiencing the same blank camera issue when attempting to integrate this plugin with with a flash based browser applet. It appears this issue came up and was fixed in a prior release, but seems broken again. Possibly a new permissions issue? The virtual camera is available in the drop down list, but gives no output once selected.

OBS-Virtual-Cam:
When I put a text box in OBS Scene it appears mirrored in Google-Hang Out-Session.

How can I fix it?

Google Hangouts reverses the video that you see so that when you look at it, it looks like you're looking in a mirror. I don't know if the mirrored view is sent to viewers in Google Hangouts, but there may be an option in Hangouts to not have that behavior. Either way, this is a Hangouts issue, not an issue with the plugin.

I solved it now within OBS:
TOOLS --> VIRTUAL CAM --> mark HORIZONTAL FLIP

When using this I get a flickering on the output. The computer is i7 with 16GB RAM and an SSD it is not being maxed out CPU/RAM so I don't think it's load. (Also tried after a fresh boot)

Maybe there's a conflict with software you are using .Do you get same result with other 3rd party softwares?

Hi catxfish
Is there a way to output in portrait resolutions? for example in 9:16 ratio.

I want to " fb live broadcast" a prerecorded video that is in portrait resolutions but when ever I try to do with VirtualCam the video is stretched laterally or have black borders to form 16:9 video again .

My output resolution in settings>video is also in 9:16

Kindly look into this.

Kindly look into this.

The output resolution is decided when 3rd party software start to open virtual-camera and by following order :

1. The 3rd Party software asked resolution
2. If software not asking ,then use OBS canvas resolution
3. If OBS is not opening , use 1920x1080 resolution

So if you can't output portrait resolutions even you set the canvas ratio to 9:16 ,
It might be FB web-Interface ask for landscape resolution as default.

Could be that. Also opening OBS virtualcam as capture device in VLC would also change the resolution but in a different way.
