OBS Studio to Zoom Meetings --- Video & Audio via NDI Virtual Input // Plugin (OBS Studio Tutorial)

[@kusmith76]

IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTE: NDI Virtual Input program is Now called Web Cam Input. I hope this saves you the hassle I went through. Other than that, this is an AWESOME Tutorial! Works great!

[@artiscool6873]

Thank you! I thought there was a version that I didn't see and was very frustrated.

[@AlbertDinata]

I am looking for the virtual input anywhere and can't found it. Thanks for the info

[@KINNZ94]

This is good. I guessed that one by colour, but now I know for sure. :)

[@yirehggwp]

Thanks!!!!

[@mrahodge72]

Thank you so much!

[@462Raram]

I spent 25 hours trying to figure this out by myself. There are hundreds of Canon shills on the internet saying that you can easily use their camera webcam utility to connect to Zoom. Their videos say stuff like "just plug in your USB and it works!" or "it's easy!" It's not easy and your guide is the only one that explains how to do it step-by-step. Thank you.

[@1eV]

Bro, this is just insane. Don't know how to thank you. No bullshit. Pure information. This deserves a million views. Take love ❣️.

[@catzpajamazpianostudio-mor7202]

You're an excellent teacher. Concise, organized, clear. I'll remember your model and style as I start to make videos for my music students and parents.

[@jaymsentertainmentchannel9188]

After watching countless videos, yours is the only one that really work for me. Thank you so much n I had already subscribe. Love from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱

[@williammullins3837]

This was awesome! Thanks so much. As a professor for the University of Memphis, I have used OBS for the last 6 months, and I have much higher retention with my students. This just upped my game!

OK... YOU definitely deserve more viewers... i watched 5 other videos and then came across yours... BY FAR THE BEST!!! THANKS

[@awalldigital]

Wow, thanks!

[@paulsp1ano]

5:36 "It's so sick!" (Favorite quote - 😂) I had almost given up with the process, and you gave me another glimmer of hope. I cannot thank you enough for this step by step guide. Your passion for helping people comes through, and your expertise is greatly appreciated!

OMG THANK YOU MAN! I've spent soooo many hours trying to make this work and then I find this. You rock man! Thank you!

[@RikkiRB]

I so wish that people in general were more like this; straightforward, clear statements, recaps... I mean I knew half of this already but to have it all in one - very clear guide - is awesome. When you don't have time to sift through crap guides, this one instantly fits!

[@CoffeeScribe]

OMGoodness brother! I did this on my iMac and IT WORKED!!!! I've been getting such crappy video from my Logitech C922 and the only software that looks good with it was OBS... but now I can get that same amazing OBS quality in zoom for the first time! THANKS! WOW! :) No more crappy zoom. Thanks a million times!!!!!!!!

[@jtthephillygamester8145]

OMG! Your tutorial was perfect! I was trying to figure this out knowing it was possible and your info solved the "X" part of my equation . I appreciate your concise information. Thanks!!!

[@chrismooney-singh2055]

I've been a subscriber for a while and always find the quality of the teaching and info at the top. Thank you for this tremendous tutorial. After months I finally managed to get the stream from OBS into Zoom. I watched many other NDI videos. This is the only one that made perfect sense and I was able to implement.

[@kikkocat]

You are number one. You solved a giant problem for me. If I could put up 2,000 likes, I'd do it right now.

[@Tranquitronquista]

The best straight-to-the-point tutorial on how to send audio and video through OBS anywhere... Thank you, man, you helped me a bunch. I tried to configure virtual cables and who knows what, found it really complicated and confusing. With NDI+OBS is all a breeze, using this software is surprisingly easy and intuitive (after watching your video, that is). I added Nvidia Broadcast to the mix so that I can "chroma" my background etc. Simply amazing. A big thanks and GRACIAS from Madrid, Spain 🖖🏻🤓.

[@m0nesy_cssports]

seriously, this video deserve a million views

This is so good! I'm blown away!!! I never thought about looking into zoom meetings as if you're watching twitch streams!

[@sbotsford1]

That is a solution that I haven’t yet figured out, thank you! What I have done is bypass webcam by sharing screen, advanced, and select the scenes screen. That way I am larger (full screen) when presenting and it includes my cam on the screen. Simple! Input is obs for mic and cam.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@absoluteCAD]

AWESOME!! now I can route audio as well as video, rather than Virtual Camera with direct audio. Sync issues will be a thing of the past. Great Job, thank you

[@christophhaug]

I've been using the virtual camera in OBS for this. What's the advantage of going via NDI?

[@misterpogiako]

NDI gets you the audio as well. OBS Virtual Camera cannot be used as a microphone in your meeting software but NDI outputs BOTH audio and video.

[@christophhaug]

NDI, on the other hand, adds some latency and is more complicated to set up.

[@misterpogiako]

yup, that's the only caveat there

[@christophhaug]

@@misterpogiako Thanks for confirming this. I was wondering what I missed. But so I'll happily continue using the built in virtual camera :-)

[@MatthewFurman]

@@christophhaug Hi there, been going crazy. Can you please tell me how to use the built in virtual camera. OBS does not show up in Zoom.

[@vaultvizion]

Hi, question for you. I hooked everything up just like you have shown. When I stream to KZbin with the zoom call I can hear myself but I cannot hear that other people talking. Is there a trick to having it record them so you can hear them on the live stream?

[@drumseltzer]

Fan-freaking-tastic tutorial! I'm on a Mac, so the last little bit was slightly different, but you laid out all the confusing stuff so elegantly. If the quality of this tutorial is a hint at how effective a Zoom session or webinar can be, it is completely worth the hassle... of which you did all of for those who found this great video. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@Mikimk]

I'm on a Mac, what change needs to be made what instructions here

[@chiribimchiribim]

thanks! great video! what would be the difference between this method and using the virtual camera that comes with OBS plus a virtual audio cable? Thanks

[@2ELI0]

As far as I am concerned there is not. I have been using Virtual Cam as video input and audiowise I use a separate connected microphone. I dont use the webcam microphone though. It works on Zoom, Discord, Teams etc.

[@laiklim]

Great tutorial. I have one question, I understand that audio pump into zoom, but for the “camera” in zoom, what’s the different if we use the OBS virtual camera instead of NDI video? Thanks

Hi @Awall Digital - what is the difference between using the "NDI Virtual Input" and the OBS virtual camera for zoom or MS Teams?

Do it just like the man sez! It worked awesome on my Mac/OBS & Zoom. Perfect video feed with my iPhone and Audio. Do it just like the man sez!😎

[@smallsoyabean]

Best tutorial, clear explanation and easy to understand. Good job!

[@ibigfire]

What's the advantage of this over using a virtual audio cable from Voicemeeter and setting it as the Monitor output in OBS, turning your audio source monitoring on, and using the built in virtual camera within OBS for video?

Have you tried using the OBS feature to send a source to a Projector? I use that and it does the same thing without the need for NDI.

weirdly enough i had this working before great and then it just stopped working one day... i had to uninstall everything and follow your process. now it works again thanks :)

[@melissaw7]

Hi! Great video! I recently become aware of OBS and am preparing to use it to host classes via Zoom. While running a test class in Zoom, I noticed the quality of my presentation in the Zoom window appeared low (but looks fine on the OBS screen). Would NDI be able to fix this? Trying to ensure the presentation quality seen in Zoom is no less than that of my pc (1920x1080) but not sure if installing NDI will help. Are you able to advise? Thanks!

[@PeterGunnebro]

Hi and thanks for your great tutorials! I just upgraded to OBS 28.0.0. After that a popup window tells me that NDI plugin is not compatible with this version. The NDI Output Source has disappeared from the OBS Tools menu. Is there a fix for that or should I revert OBS to the previous version?

[@KelliVrla-EngageYou]

[@Colinmchapman]

Help me understand the difference between this method and a Virtual Camera

[@oatsack]

I'm still getting issues with audio/video sync in the zoom meetings, could you do a video explaining how to fix?

[@jamesaksel2988]

Howdy friend! There are a couple of ways to fix that. Here are the ways that worked best for me: 1.) IF THE VIDEO IS AHEAD OF THE AUDIO, then go your webcam filters and add the effect "Render Delay." You can then adjust this accordingly to sync up with your audio. Keep in mind that it is in milliseconds, so if your audio and video sync is very far off, you may need to use decently large numbers. 2.) IF AUDIO IS AHEAD OF VIDEO, then go to your audio mixer. Once in your mixer, right click and go to "Advanced Audio Properties." From there, you can change the "Sync Offset" accordingly. Again, this is also in milliseconds, so if your video is really far behind, then this may need to be adjusted using rather large numbers. Note that this sync offset WILL NOT appear within OBS itself. You will only notice it in the output (that includes NDI Virtual, streaming, recording, etc.). 3.) One other thing you can do in order to prevent the off sync is to lower your webcam resolution. For me, the higher resolution I set my webcam, the longer that delay became. If the previous two options don't work out for you, then try lowering the resolution. Hopefully this helps! I know it's not as good as a video to follow step by step, but it's the best I could do. Let me know if you have any questions! Edit 1: Spelling

[@marks3576]

I love your tutorials. They're hands-down the most helpful and the easiest to implement. Does the NDI route remove any audio latency so that one can do a call in Zoom while using OBS? My hairline seems to have moved a lot to the rear trying to figure this out using the virtual cables. Using the advanced audio properties settings isn't working. Your simple, straightforward way to record Zoom from your other tutorial works perfectly.

[@marks3576]

UPDATE... its this only a desktop pc solution? I have an XPS laptop and perhaps is there an issue with the way laptops are made that I cant use this method? the NDI webcam app icon doesn't appear in the side bar. Also on a laptop, I can't capture a display in OBS.

[@marks3576]

UPDA TE 2. I backed up the truck and redid the installation process with the exception that I selected to install all of the NDI tools and not just the webcam tool. I just went from being the second coolest kid on my street to being the coolest. IT WORKS! No audio latency. Thank you so much!

[@DuecesUp22]

Quick Question: I have done this process on my MacBook a couple months ago and it worked flawlessly, thank you. I am not trying it on my MacMini, but when I go to "tools" in OBS, NDI is not showing as an option. I followed each step, multiple times. Any ideas?

[@thehumanxp]

Hey man, this is awesome - but i'm on OSX -- can you provide the instructions to do the same on mac?

[@katheebee0818]

super thank you for this video!!! This saved me in my livestreaming presentation!!!!

[@citadelo5ricks]

This is great, I followed and cam worked great. I'm on W11, and am using Reaper/ReaRoute for routing to OBS, great for my purposes. But NDI from OBS to any App has a lot latency (probably a half second or more) is there a virtual audio cable setup you recommend for W11? Thanks

[@carreyoliver1348]

Thanks Andrew for this awesome tutorial. Can somebody help me, do I need to set up the mic/aux in Global Audio Device and the Monitoring Device? Or I leave it to default as NDI will take care of it? For those who did not have "NDI OUTPUT" on their Tools tab please copy-paste the DLL and PBD file after you downloaded NDI to the obs-plugin files manually. It took hours to find the solution on youtube.

[@memeboiz4130]

you're true life saver, it works well. btw the "Virtual input" has renamed to "Webcam input".

[@thedadwars]

Thanks for this walk through! I carefully went through all of the steps using Skype instead of Zoom yet Skype doesn't pick up my system audio when doing a test call, just my Rodecaster Pro with microphone, no matter how I configure OBS. I am running Windows 11 and feel like that has something to do with it. The audio settings in 11 are confusing to say the least. @Awall Digital, do you have any insights into how I can get this to work? I've been trying to figure this out for several days now. Can't pinpoint whether it's how I have OBS configured, Window 11 sound settings, or Skype!

[@BobIrving2]

This is killer, though I've got a couple questions... I've been watching lots of videos on how to do this, and all the other ones recommend using virtual cables for sound in and out. Why do you do it this way? And is there a way to use the virtual background in Zoom? Signed, a remote teacher! And thanks for the very clear instructions!
