Question / Help Using Kinect as webcam

I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out why obs is not recognizing my kinect as a webcam. I installed the drivers for is and it works in skype just fine. Obs does make it an option to use the kinect in the audio to use the mic but it still does not even make it an option in the video settings to use a webcam. Help would be appreciated!!!

Have you tried using it with the 32-bit version of OBS? Some webcams don't have 64-bit drivers and as a result can't be used with the 64-bit version of OBS.

kinect drivers... even though they are for a 64 based system... still only register as 32 bit drivers with obs. you'll have to use obs 32 bit in order to see it...

after that (if you're using skype) you should just notice static once you get the kinect in a scene. skype is blocking OBS from using my kinect. As soon as I killed skype it worked fine. it should work as long as you dont try to view the kinect in skype. as soon as you do it seems to hook the kinect and not let go of it for some reason.

so basically... close skype completely... open obs... reopen skype and DONT ever look at the kinect cam using it. Then it should work in OBS fine... I blame skype for it =)

hope that helps some. Its from my experience today messing with using my kinect cam for an upcoming stream i have planned.

Even though the kinect works on Skype etc you will need a additional third party software try Manycam it worked for me with the Xbox 360 Kinect, as well to installing theses files
1.) Kinect SDK: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27876
2.) Kinectcam.ax: https://www.mediafire.com/?lbq22hnl2otbw32
3.) ManyCam: http://manycam.com/

Try that tell me if it works thanks....
