Virtual Camera was Uninstalled and/or Can't be reinstalled after last update. I'm not quite sure what happened. I'm not a power user and only use for virtual camera (business meetings). I'm not sure of what to do. I've tried reinstalling by C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\win-dshow and running virtualcam-install.bat as well as going downgrading (installing 30.23.3). Still don't see the option for Virtual Camera when opening OBS. Any help would be appreciated.

Installation of OBS Virtual Camera requires admin rights. At least, try to right-click over the mentioned ".bat" file and choose "Run as administrator".

And if you replace the 3rd string "goto checkAdmin" by "goto CheckDLLContinue" from the mentioned ".bat" file?
 
I'm having the same issue. When I changed the goto checkAdmin line to goto CheckDLLContinue, the same message appeared but with 64-bit instead of 32-bit.

There is link to the Discord community in the top right corner of the forum - try to ask there too.
 
May have to go to Meld Studio or something until this is "fixed". Don't know why it would be an issue after last update, and why it is only affecting a few people. Sucks because I have used for 10 years or so and seen it evolve so much. I basically only use it for virtual camera (for hours a day) and sometimes to record (like 4 times a year).

Same error that @shocknex received when I tried that solution.
