If you have any questions leave a comment on the YouTube. Arch Linux - obs-studio 29.0.2-2 (x8664) - File List obs-studio 29.0.2-2 File List Package has 1539 files and 97 directories. I’ve used it for game night and video conferencing. Having a virtual camera built into OBS is really neat and easy to set up. The video will be mirrored (this is normal) but will be displayed correctly on the receiving end. Controlling OBS Virtual Camera outputĪnything shown in the OBS preview window will be sent to the virtual camera. In your video application you should now have the option to select the OBS Virtual Camera. Click on it and enter your super user password. Once you’ve rebooted the system and launched OBS you should see a new menu item labeled Start Virtual Camera. Note: remember to reboot the system after installing v4l2loopback. OpenSUSE sudo zypper install kernel-devel v4l2loopback v4l2loopback-autoload Sudo dnf install kernel-headers v4l2loopbackĪrch / Manjaro pacman -S linux-headers v4l2loopback-dkms Normal (v4l2) applications will read these devices as if they were ordinary video devices.ĭebian / Ubuntu sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) v4l2loopback-dkmsįedora sudo dnf install $(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm $(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm This allows you to create “virtual video devices” for OBS.

You will need OBS version 26.1 or higher. You can do this from the menu Help > About. The first thing we want to do is check our OBS version. You can use this to send your OBS output to applications like Skype, Zoom, Discord, Teams, and Jitsi. In this video we’re setting up a virtual camera in OBS on Linux.
