Stream my desktop as camera source #49

Open mehulpangtey opened 4 years ago

mehulpangtey commented 4 years ago

In zoom call/google hang out over there you have an option for a camera source, can I stream my desktop screen as a virtual camera.

Q: Can I achieve with your library

P.S screen-share option is there but I want to share my application window as a camera source.

Thank you.

In case you haven't found a solution yet. OBS has a plugin called OBS-VirtualCam. You can setup a screen capture inside OBS and stream it to the virtual camera. The virtual camera will show up as device in zoom/google hang out.

This library here howeve lets you capture an image from a webcam and parses it to your nodejs program.

Trying the same. The virtual cam from OBS is listed but it doesn't capture the stream.
