I'd been looking into OBS/obs-virtualcam until I discovered that macOS support wasn't there. Not free, but I have successfully tested ManyCam, which I believe will work well for my streamlining the process of switching between screenshare and secondary camera sources for Zoom.

Went down that rabbit hole this weekend too, I got an HDMI capture device so I could stream my Switch on Zoom with friends and the lack of virtual cam in OBS was a bummer. Hopefully it will be added soon.

On OS X 10.9 (which I'm running), I use CamTwist (v3.0) for this. I have no idea if CamTwist also works in modern macOS, but probably worth a try. http://camtwiststudio.com/ http://camtwiststudio.com/

  Awesome! Even if it is buggy or won’t work for me when I try it. Great that you already have this shipped. Not saying it is buggy. Just if it is, no problem having this out already! Been waiting for something for OBS for a while. since 2019 when Mojave made Syphon injecting much harder due to security changes. And demand for it and any other similar injecting almost entirely waned.
