An OBS Studio plugin for macOS that creates a virtual webcam device from OBS's output, allowing composited video to be used in apps like Zoom, Hangouts, and Jitsi. It has been archived because the functionality was merged into OBS Studio as of version 26.1.
Use cases
- use OBS scenes as a webcam in Zoom
- stream composited video into video calls on macOS
- create a virtual camera device from OBS output
- share smooth video into Jitsi or Hangouts
- replace a physical webcam with OBS output on Mac
When to choose
- you are stuck on OBS Studio older than 26.1 on macOS and need a virtual camera
- you need this specific plugin for a legacy macOS setup
When to avoid
- you run OBS Studio 26.1 or newer - the virtual camera is built in
- you are on Windows or Linux
- you want actively maintained software
