I just wish FaceTime on macOS would let me use virtual webcams and not do weird things to audio inputs if you you keep also using them in other apps. I have a Blackmagic converter that works to bring a high quality external camera into other software, but FaceTime won’t let me use it (it just doesn’t show up in the list, and neither does the OBS virtual camera). That and the weird stuff it seems to do to the audio subsystem on Mac (this is all in 10.14 so maybe this isn’t the case in later versions?). We were trying to use it as a back channel for podcasting/streaming but trying to send audio to FaceTime somehow messed with the input in a way I’ve never seen with any other application, and broke it in Logic and OBS. It was almost as if audio processing was happening outside the app for some reason, so you get really weird results (messed up levels etc.) in other apps sharing the audio device inputs… Goes away when you start an audio app without FaceTime active. We found a free app Sonobus that works really well for low latency audio for what we were doing in the end. FaceTime is great for just calling the family on the iPad though.
