OBS Studio Camera Issue (Question from Gregg)

‪@greggchilders3279‬ had a question about adding the same camera to multiple scenes.
The trick here is to reuse the same OBS Studio source for the same device.
Got OBS Studio questions? Let me know, I'll try to answer them.

Hi John, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer

Hi John, Thank you so much for taking the time in answering my question and making a video! Outstanding work!! This helped a lot on the OBS side. The only issue that I'm still having is when I use the Virtual Camera during a Zoom Meeting, even though the transitions now change perfectly within OBS, they don't update or change on the the Zoom meeting side. The only thing that I can get to change in while projecting in Zoom is turning on and off the Sources within the one scene that Zoom is locked on to. This defeats the whole purpose of using the virtual camera to some extent. Unless its just a Zoom issue and I should use a different meeting software??

Hi Gregg. That is definitely odd. I don't use Zoom a lot, but I did just download it to try it out with the Virtual Camera and it does appear to be showing my changes when I switch scenes. I'll talk to some people who use Zoom more often than I do, but in the interim a few things to check: 1. Make sure your Zoom client is up to date. (It looks like version 6.0.4 is current for Windows.) 2. Make sure the camera you've selected is OBS Virtual Camera in Zoom settings. 3. Make sure you haven't added any Backgrounds and effects from the Zoom settings (this could cause some issues). But I guess the other thing is can you try with another piece of software to see if you get the same results? At least that way you might be able to establish if it's a Zoom problem or not.

@@LearnLivestreaming Thanks John, I'll experiment and see if I can narrow down what the problem is and post back

HI John, My Virtual Camera setting was set to Scene instead of Program. I changed it and now it works!! Thanks for all of the help. I have no idea how that setting changed!

@@greggchilders3279 Someone literally just recommended I suggest you check that setting, but it seems you figured it out before I could reply back. Excellent!
