Fixed fenrir's build with the latest OBS plugin template and tested without any issue.
Note: output to 32bit application is not tested.
This plugin provides a DirectShow Output as a virtual webcam.
How to use:
OBS Virtualcam has two main methods for outputting video from OBS. The first is the Preview outputwhich is enabled from the Tools menu. This output will provide exactly what you see in the Preview in OBSincluding any changes or scenes you might switch to. This is the most common methodand probably what you would want to use.
Preview Output:
1. Select Tools -> VirtualCam in the main OBS Studio window
2. Press the Start buttonthen close the dialog
3. Open your program (ZoomHangoutsSkypeetc.) and choose OBS-Camera as your webcam
The next method is a filter that you can add to any scene or sourceif you only want to output that specific scene or sourceand nothing else.
Source Filter:
1. Add a VirtualCam filter to the scene/source you want to output to the virtual camera
2. Choose a camera target then press Start
3. If the button does not change to Stopit means the camera is already in useand you must choose a different camera or stop the other output first.
4. Open your program (ZoomHangoutsSkypeetc.) and choose the camera you selected as the target as your webcam
Why are the resolution and framerate sometimes not the same as my OBS output settings?
If you open an OBS-Camera device in a 3rd party application before starting the output in OBSOBS-Camera will default to 1080p 30fps. If you start OBS firstit will use whatever is set as the Output resolution and framerate in OBS Studio's optionsunder Settings -> Video.
Does this plugin support other platforms?
For Linuxyou can use the Video4Linux sink plugin for OBS Studio. Directions on how to configure it are available from that link. Work is underway to provide a similar plugin for macOSbut there is no ETA.
Known issues
- Skype from the Windows Store doesn't work with the OBS-Cameraplease use Skype Desktop Edition instead.
- Unity can't get image from virtualcamplease use register batch (reg_path.reg) in release page to manually add dummy device path .(note: The registry conflict with skype desktop you can use unreg_path.reg to remove it)
