Question / Help Webcam Border...how to remove?

How can I remove a Webcam border? I am not sure if OBS is adding this border around where the Webcam picture is showing or if this is being added by the webcam software itself. If it is OBS, is there a way to turn the border off or at least reduce its size?

I am using the Chroma Key in OBS to remove the background in the webcam image so it leave that oval image.

Thank You!

Looks like it's whatever webcam effects software you're using to add the green vignette overlay. OBS wouldn't add these. If you're on OBS Classic, you can just hold down ALT to crop a source much more quickly and effectively than with OBS Studio.

Ok, thanks. I don't think it's a Cropping issue ... when I crop, the crop line is right at the top and bottom of the oval of the image. It must be the ManyCam software then, thanks.

Yep, the suggestion was to crop off the black bars.

And yes, it's very likely to be Manycam adding them. Either OBS requesting a resolution or video mode that it doesn't like and so it pads out the cam with black to be 'helpful', or just as a limitation of the software. I'd lean toward expecting it to be a resolution mismatch though. Make sure both Manycam and OBS are set to use the same resolution on the source, and that Manycam's output is likewise set to the proper res.
