Question / Help Use OBS for Skype Broadcast.

[A. John Peters]

I want to use ODS with a green screen with backgrounds. I downloaded the NDI plugin, the latest perversion of OBS. I am on OS 10.15.4.
The filter is working fine on facebook live, but when I try to switch my stream to Skype it does not show up. Then of course, I cannot find OBS as a camera in Skype. What am I missing?

As I understand it you are trying to use OBS with a webcam and green screen to stream the video to both Facebook Live and Skype at the same time using NDI?

Unfortunately Skype doesn't support NDI input, only NDI output.

EDIT: Sorry I realised you are on macOS, in this case there isn't a similar plugin that I am aware of, theoretically CamTwist works, but I know a lot of people have had issues with it on modern versions of macOS.

I would like to broadcast using facebook or Skype or now Zoom. So it appears I cannot use Skype to broadcast. Is that only true on Macs.?

Thanks for the reply.

There are two options:
1. You output the signal via NDI to a PC where the broadcasting is.
2. You output the signal via SDI to an Blackmagic Web Presenter and then broadcast from there.
