Rename OBS Virtual Cam?

[Amw94]

Has anybody been able to figure out a way to rename ‘OBS Virtual Cam’, specially so my web browser doesn’t detect it’s a virtual cam?

I found a few topics about this for the plug-in, but only in reference to Windows which directed to go into the Windows Registry. But I haven’t found anything for macOS

This is the answer I received from ideas.obsproject.com

“We do not plan on providing a way to rename the virtual camera for the following reasons:

• most apps/browsers detect the virtual status of a camera by internal information (namely the lack of a device driver), not the "friendly" name that is shown to you
• it (likely) would require restarting the app in question (or the whole PC) each time the name is changed, which is a poor user experience

Therefore, there is no tangible benefit for either the OBS Project or our users to include this capability.”
