Best way to add a Virtual cam output to OBS on Mac OS? #82

Closed steveseguin closed 4 years ago

steveseguin commented 4 years ago

I don't know of a good solution here, as OBS VirtualCam is for PC only.

I've heard of recommendations of MacOS, but haven't test any.

anyone have suggestions that are tested? Maybe we can create a guide with links on how to set this up.

There is a plugin in development now, but not really ready for widespread use yet.

This is what I've seen others use so far for MacOS.

Choose Desktop+ and press Select. In the Settings section choose Confine to Application Window

Might not be the best way of doing it, but maybe this would work for some crude applications.

CamTwistStudio is basically dead I wouldn't recommend installing it on newer versions of macOS I've seen people really struggle to use their computer properly after.

Eventually this might be production ready: https://github.com/johnboiles/obs-mac-virtualcam

If anyone knows how to do a virtual cam on mac, and can include it in such an app, that would make it more of a priority to me

@KovalevArtem If you would like me to re-open this, I'm happy to. I thought the solution was already given tho -- I've validated that the JohnBoiles VirtualCam works for MacOS and OBS.Ninja.

It might also be possible to use NDI Virtual Input as a webcam; though I haven't tried that.
