description OBS Virtual Camera (Software) Overview
While not a physical product, the OBS Virtual Camera is indispensable for advanced users. It allows you to take high-quality footage from multiple sources (multiple cameras, green screens, graphics) and composite them into a single, professional-looking feed. This level of control is unmatched for broadcast quality and complex virtual set-ups.
help OBS Virtual Camera (Software) FAQ
Can OBS Virtual Camera make Zoom or Teams see my OBS scene as a webcam?
Yes. OBS Virtual Camera outputs the active OBS Studio scene as a camera device, so apps like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Discord, and Google Meet can receive your composed feed.
What can I put into an OBS Virtual Camera scene?
You can combine a webcam, screen capture, browser source, image overlay, media file, and chroma-keyed background in one OBS scene. That is the main advantage over a normal webcam feed, because OBS Studio was built around multi-source scenes.
Do I need the old OBS VirtualCam plugin on Windows?
Usually no. OBS Studio added a built-in Virtual Camera feature in the 26.x era, so most current Windows, macOS, and Linux users do not need the older third-party plugin.
Why is my OBS Virtual Camera delayed compared with my microphone?
OBS processing, camera capture, and conferencing apps can add latency, especially with filters, high resolutions, or hardware encoders. In OBS Studio you can adjust audio sync offsets in Advanced Audio Properties to line up your mic with the virtual camera feed.
