[solved] Arch Linux, OBS Virtual Camera -> works in VLC, BUT not in Skype

[BigMan200]

The issue:
When I select in Skype the OBS virtual camera, I get a black screen only.

My setting:
Operating system: Arch Linux
OBS Studio Version 27.1.3-3 (64 bit)
Skype Version 8.80.8.143

Detail issue description:
After booting Arch Linux:
$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
Logitech StreamCam (usb-0000:00:12.2-1):
/dev/video0
/dev/video1
/dev/media0

Starting OBS I start within OBS the Virtual Camera: A pop-up window appears in OBS asking me for the admin-password of Arch Linux, which I provide.

Back in a terminal, again:
$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
OBS Virtual Camera (platform:v4l2loopback-000):
/dev/video2

Logitech StreamCam (usb-0000:00:12.2-1):
/dev/video0
/dev/video1
/dev/media0

==> So it seems, I have successfully a virtual camera.

I check this with VLC --> in VLC I can select as a Video-device /dev/video2 and it works!
I check this with Skype --> the Skype settings offer me in the camera-menu: "OBS Virtual Camera", but when I select it, the video-screen in Skype stays black :-(

==> Is this a Skype bug or did I miss something.

For any kinds of support, hints, tips, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance!

Found the solution:
Within OBS: I select the video-source --> right-click --> chose the Option "Ausgabeauflösung anpassen" --> then it works.
(Ausgabeauflösung anpassen <-- I have OBS in German language, this means something like: adjust output resolution)

So anybody coming here, you need to know that skype doesn't allow resolution of 1920x1080. And the maximum resolution it supports is 1080x720. So you need to set "Output Resolution" to 1080x720 in the obs "Settings > Video ".
