The behavior is specific to the OBS implementation. Teams is working fine with a number of hardware webcams and devices. Zoom, Discord, WebEx, and Skype are currently working fine. Webcam shows up at an option, but attempting to enable it or open the device results in no success, and no image whatsoever. This again points to an inconsistency in what applications are expecting versus what OBS currently provides.įinally, the behavior observed in teams is identical to what I was observing in WebEx from a UX standpoint.

Some applications display the OBS logo "waiting screen" on the video input if the virtual cam has not started yet.

The only reason WebEx started working was because Cisco made a change to their client, and not because of any commits made to the OBS repo.

In reviewing the commits, there have been no material changes to how OBS handles the VirtualCam implementation, and as far as I can tell no one outside of Cisco knows for sure what the nature of the issue was.

Regardless of the nature of the inconsistency, I have not heard of any hardware webcams that have the same level of problems, so this again points to the implementation.

In speaking with folks in the developer discord there appeared to be an inconsistency in how different applications talk to webcams.

Many users reported issues with WebEx, KakaoTalk, and Vidyo not recognizing the webcam device at all, or if it does recognize the device, failing to open it.Upon it's release the native VirtualCam device had far less application support than the previous plug-in that was (and still is) available.In particular, I feel comfortable about the validity of the following data points: I understand your position, and while I agree that there is no way to know with 100% certainty, I base my conjecture on a good deal of experience and with what I feel is a fairly good understanding of the history of how problems regarding OBS's new native implementation of VirtualCam have manifested. Regardless, feel free to open a separate issue about Teams. Also the virtual camera is working fine on Teams for Windows here. I would argue that it's likely not the same reason. We have absolutely no way to know if it's likely the same reason. That "likely" is doing a lot of work, here. It's still broken for Microsoft Teams on my end here, likely due to the very same issue that prevented it from working with WebEx.
