Teams & OBS output to a virtual screen/windows process

[Semtx]

I use OBS form a strange Angle, I use it to manage webcams in Teams.
Running OBS virtual camera and select it as webcam in Teams works great.

I find a missing feature that would be very welcome to the OBS feature set. I was not able to google my way to a solution.
Teams allows you to share your "screen" for instance to give a presentation.
Currently there is no way to select the OBS output.
When you share your screen in Teams, it lets you select 2 different types of sources.

• physical screens
• running executable

A possible solution:
If OBS has a plugin that creates a virtual screen and present it as a physical screen to the OS, containing the OBS output/stream data.
Alternatively, OBS starts an executable where the OBS output/stream data is sent to, I can select the .exe in Teams to share.

Does this feature exist? or is it indeed something that does not exist yet?

Thanks in advance,
Sem

I was looking for the same thing as you. I am currently using a dedicated monitor with NDI preview as a dedicated "shared screen".
The limitation of the presentation software is they only only take inputs from physical screens and windows (Zoom does have a few other "Advanced" options).

This seems to work as an option for me.

Stream to virtual Display

Hi, i am a teacher and want to use OBS to improve my remote education in time of the pandemic. the setup with the virtual cam was quiet easy. but get the input from a "webcams" has two big disadvantages: - the meeting software (in my case cisco webex) often cuts the picture to fit in a student...

I can open a Windowed Projector (Program) which would represent my main output (I use OBS in Studio mode) and you can select the Windowed Projector as the "Shared Screen Content" (tested with Zoom).
