Hello @niuuin,

I did a fresh install of OBS Studio and the steps below worked for me.

I am using:

- W10
- Processing 4.3.1
- OBS Studio 31.0.0(64 bit)
- GStreamer 1.24.10

No other plugins required!

Steps using OBS Studio:

- Stop the Virtual Camera
- Open _ **Tools \> Auto-Configuration Wizard** _
- Select _ **I will only be using the virtual camera** _
- Start the Virtual Camera

It only works if you install GStreamer.

You must select the correct camera:
