How to Use an OBS Virtual Camera

The next step of the process is to add the sources you wish to use when using the virtual camera. OBS Studio allows you to add various sources to your virtual camera feed, like your current monitor display, a media source, or a connected webcam. To add sources, simply go to the Sources box in the bottom section of the screen and click the + icon. You can then choose sources like Display Capture or Media Source to add the various sources you want to show in your virtual cam.

Once your scenes and sources are prepared and ready to go in OBS Studio, it's time to start the virtual camera. To do this, simply go to the Controls dock in the lower right section of the screen and click on the button marked Start Virtual Camera.

The next step of how to set up the OBS virtual camera on Mac is to set up your various scenes and sources you wish to use later on in Zoom calls, Skype meetings, and so on. To do this, just go to the Sources box at the bottom and click + and then select a source you wish to add, like a Media Source or Display Capture.

Once the sources and settings have all been configured, you can activate the virtual camera. To do this, go to the Controls section in the bottom right of the OBS window and click Start Virtual Camera to enable the cam.

Right-click on your webcam in the Sources menu at the bottom. Then click Properties. This will take you to a new menu where you can adjust a lot of different settings to enhance your webcam feed and image quality. To start, try adjusting the resolution and frame rate. To do this, click Custom under the Resolution/FPS type and then change each setting individually. You can adjust the resolution of your webcam to get the clearest image, as well as changing the frame rate to the highest your camera can support.

You can then click on the Configure Video button to start adjusting other aspects of your webcam feed. This will take you to a settings menu where you can change things like exposure, zoom, and focus. Webcams often overexpose, so you may want to use the exposure slider to make the image look cleaner and more natural. You can use the zoom and pan effects to zoom in on yourself if needed. You can also manually adjust focus to keep a sharp image on your webcam. It's also possible to adjust things like brightness and contrast until you get an image you're happy with.

Open OBS and click on the + icon in the Sources box. Select Video Capture Device, click Create New, type in a name, and choose your webcam from the drop-down Device list. Then click OK to confirm.

Right-click on your webcam in the sources menu and select Filters.

You can then use the Effects Filters menu to activate either the Color Correction filter or LUT filter. The color correction filter lets you manually adjust the color settings of your image however you like. The LUT filter allows you to add a standard lookup table filter to your feed. You can find free LUT filters on the OBS forums. Use the Browse button to find the file you want to use and then use the slider to adjust its strength.
