[BUG] Virtual Camera screen does not appear when clicking Start Virtual Camera in OBS v26
bartclaeys opened this issue · comments
When I click "Start Virtual Camera" from the Tools menu in OBS 26.0.2, nothing happens. I don't get to see the Virtual Camera screen. When I open the Tools menu again, I see "Stop Virtual Camera". So, I am not sure Virtual Camera is running (it doesn't show up in Google Meet).
- OS version: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
- Virtualcam version: 1.3.1
- OBS version: 26.0.2
Max, this link describes compatibility issues with browsers and streaming apps. My post is not around that, it's simply that the Virtual Camera screen does not show up in OBS when enabling it.
@bartclaeys have you read that page? If so, which apps are you trying to use?
Yes, read the page. My problem does not concern any app... My problem is that the "Virtual Camera" window does not open in OBS when I click "Start Virtual Camera" in the menu. That is not an app related problem at all...
What sort of window are you hoping for?
@bartclaeys how did you find out about this plugin? All of the sudden we've had a few people reach out in the last couple weeks about a mysterious 'window' that is supposed to show up. I wonder if there's some kind of confusing YouTube video or something that started going around.
This is the window: https://cdn.streamshark.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/obs-options.png
I've read through blog posts and watches YouTube channels, but too many to remember which one referred to this window.
That's the old windows virtual camera i think: https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-virtual-cam
Even for windows users, that's no longer relevant, since OBS now has a built-in windows virtualcamera (and in the next release it will also have a windows virtual camera based on this codebase)
