I have read several guides and have my scene and camera working within OBS. The OBS Virtual Camera shows up within OBS as an available camera. However, it does not show up in any other software from zoom to the Windows Camera App. I found this guide and have checked or done everything recommended. I even reinstalled the plugin from the .bat file. I am running OBS with admin privileges just in case as well.

There has to be something I am missing. I am on Windows 11. OBS accesses my webcam just fine.

Here is the guide I have used and I am good based on this guide.

Update. I downloaded NVidia Broadcast just to try it out. The OBS Virtial Camera does show up in that application and works. But it still does not show up in my Windows Camera App, Demo Creator, or PPT, or any other app that uses a camera.

What kind of architecture are you running on? I'm having a similar issue with my Surface and have seen some folks say there is an issue with OBS virtual camera on ARM architecture. If you're not sure you can open a command prompt and type:
echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%

If the result has ARM in it, it may be related. (Keep in mind I'm still troubleshooting this on my own. I'm not sure if there is an official known issue from OBS.
