This exports anything you&#8217;ve set up in OBS Studio as if it were a camera to your system. As a result, you have a lot of room to be inventive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the OBS Virtual Camera, and how does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:-10px\">The OBS virtual camera can be used to send your OBS video directly to several other applications including, but not limited to, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/how-to-record-a-zoom-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoom<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/how-to-record-discord\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discord<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/how-to-record-skype-calls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skype<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/how-to-record-webex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Webex<\/a>. Instead of choosing a camera device in these applications, you may use the output from OBS as a webcam by clicking the &#8220;start Virtual Camera&#8221; button.<br>You may wish to utilize OBS as a webcam source since it has many production features like picture in picture, chroma-key (green screen), and so on. This is especially useful if you want to deliver a business presentation or amuse your coworkers by using an interesting green screen backdrop. In this post, we will introduce how the OBS virtual cam is used and how it can record screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Table of Contents<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"background-color:#f8f8f8;max-width:1097px;margin-top:-20px\" class=\"has-background wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#OBS-studio\">How can the OBS virtual camera be used?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#OBS-virtual-camera\">Record screen while using OBS virtual camera<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#OBS-virtual-camera-Bandicam\">How to Record Live Stream Using Bandicam<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-css-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb;margin-top:70px;margin-bottom:0px\"\/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ps2id-block-target\" id=\"OBS-studio\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can the OBS virtual camera be used?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:-10px\">You may wish to utilize OBS as a webcam source since it has many production features like picture in picture, chroma-key (green screen), and so on. This is useful if you&#8217;re delivering a business presentation or want to amuse your coworkers by using a strange green screen backdrop.<br>The OBS virtual camera can link your OBS scene to many other applications that can select camera devices, such as Zoom, Discord, Skype, and Google Meet. As an example, we will explain how to use the OBS virtual camera in Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:-10px\"><strong>Step 1<\/strong>. Please download <a href=\"https:\/\/obsproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">the latest version of OBS studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>. Add sources you want to share, such as video or display capture, and click the \u2018Start Virtual Camera\u2019 button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/obs-virtual-camera-1.jpg\" alt=\"OBS virtual camera\" style=\"width:730px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:50px\"><strong>Step 3<\/strong>. Start the Zoom application and select the OBS Virtual Camera as a camera in video settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zoom-obs-virtual-camera-1.jpg\" alt=\"Zoom obs virtual camera\" style=\"width:730px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px\">You\u2019ll notice that whatever is shown in OBS is mirrored in Zoom. This process works the same way for other programs, such as Skype, Discord, and Teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-css-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb;margin-top:70px;margin-bottom:0px\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ps2id-block-target\" id=\"OBS-virtual-camera\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-record-screen-while-using-obs-virtual-camera\"><strong>Record screen while using OBS virtual camera<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use OBS VirtualCam to pick an OBS camera in Zoom, for example, you may wish to record Zoom at the same time.<br>The simplest method is to record Zoom using another recording program, such as Bandicam, while using the OBS virtual camera. The other solution is to run two instances of OBS studio.<br>Please see the steps below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>. Without turning on the virtual camera, open Zoom, Discord, or other programs you\u2019ll be using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>. Start OBS studio and add a source for recording. Do not turn on the virtual camera yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/obs-add-sources.jpg\" alt=\"OBS add sources\" style=\"width:730px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:50px\"><strong>Step 3<\/strong>. Open another instance of OBS studio. If you see the &#8220;OBS is already running&#8221; message, click &#8220;Launch Anyway&#8221;.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/obs-run-message.png\" alt=\"virtual camera\" style=\"width:502px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:50px\"><strong>Step 4<\/strong>. Remove the sources you previously selected and replace them with your camera in the second instance. Start the virtual camera for Zoom or other programs on OBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/obs-virtual-camera-1.jpg\" alt=\"start virtual camera\" style=\"width:730px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:50px\"><strong>Step 5<\/strong>.
