Webcam flicker

[LeeW]

Hi all - new OBS user, so please excuse me if this is a really simple matter to resolve !!!
I am suffering with webcam 'flickering' (during general camera use and Teams calls) and believe that to fix this I need change the Anti-Flicker settings from 60Hz to 50Hz. I am unable to do this within Teams and am told I can adjust the Anti-Flicker setting within OBS - can anyone tell me how please (remember, new user, so idiots guide would be great !!!)

In OBS, add a Video Caputre Device, select you webcam and then click on "Configure Video" button.

Thanks - have done that but it does not let me amend any settings within "Configure Video" other than brightness, contrast and hue - am I doing anything wrong here ?

I wonder if you can do that with one of these other methods, if OBS can't show the correct configuration dialog (I am pretty sure OBS is using a function call to the Windows DirectShow API, and the DirectShow API isn't able to do what you want) ?

1. Use ffmpeg to display the settings dialog for a device (maybe it will be different than what OBS is showing?)
   1. First, get a list of devices
      ffmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy
   2. Second, show the Windows dialog for the device
      ffmpeg -f dshow -show_video_device_dialog true -i video="<device name from step 1>"
2. The Camooz app
3. The Camprops app
