[Feature Request] Act as a Front-facing Camera #196

Closed larvata closed 3 years ago

Describe the issue In WebRTC the developer can use facingMode property to specify which camera should be used. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaTrackConstraints/facingMode

For those sites, only the front-facing camera can be used, so obs-mac-virtualcam will not be listed in the camera list.

I don't know how Chrome determining the camera type, and also not sure whether it's appropriate to request this feature.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Go to https://webgazer.cs.brown.edu/calibration.html Only the real front-facing camera can be used.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Interesting. I'm not sure if this is possible with DAL plugins. Can you try Snap Camera and see if that shows up as a front-facing webcam?

Don't think this is possible. And if it's possible, I'm not totally sure it's desirable. OBS sources aren't necessarily front-facing cameras.
