Hello @AtrashDingDong,

It works here with:

Processing 4.3  
_[https://processing.org/](https://processing.org/)_

GStreamer 1.24.3 \< I could see the virtual cams in the **[Capture.list()](https://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/Capture.html)** once I installed this!  
_[https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/)_

OBS Studio 30.1.2 (64 bit) \< Comes with a virtual camera!  
_[https://obsproject.com/](https://obsproject.com/)_

OBS VirtualCam 2.0.5 \< This is NOT needed! Here for reference only.  
_[OBS Virtualcam | OBS Forums](https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-virtualcam.949/)_

NOTE: There is a note on the link above that recommends another solution which also worked:  
_[Virtual Cam Filter | OBS Forums](https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/virtual-cam-filter.1142/)_
