OBS is such wonderful software. It's immensely powerful yet approachable and performant. I am not a streamer, but I've found it really useful as an audio/video swiss army knife. Many thanks to the team and community behind it!

Yeah; I'm not a streamer either, but it took me all of an hour to go from "what's OBS?" to enabling use of my iPhone as the video camera for Zoom calls. Haven't had time yet to do anything interesting with OBS "scenes", but it looks similarly, surprisingly straightforward. A+!

Which software did you use on the iPhone side to get this to work?

It really is. It's hard to believe its free too. When I started using it, I was convinced it was commercial software and I had just missed the "Buy now" button.

I got into that stuff in the earlier days of Streaming when OBS wasn't even out/was too new. I have perpetual licenses for XSplit and other softwares, but OBS still usually come up on top. It's impressive how good it is.

That sounds great - I need a webcam for my desktop workstation and I’d love to just use my iPhone. Can you share more about your setup? What software are you using on your phone to connect it?

OBS is of course more powerful, but if all you're looking for is "phone as computer webcam" then something simple like Iriun Webcam might work.

* Added Undo/Redo [Programatic/Jim] Wooooh! That's going to turn so many instances of "Oh I've just deleted 30 minutes of filter tuning" into "whoopsy, undo" also: * "(Windows only) Added support for NVIDIA Noise Removal in the Noise Suppression filter" Nice! I wonder how that compares to the old RNNoise option...

It was such an obvious missing feature. Though to be fair, implementing undo/redo functionality is often nontrivial. However, there's still no way to save/export scenes, aside from simply copying your entire app data directory. I just have a basic layout with few tweaks so it's not the worst thing ever, but for any streamer with a complex setup and carefully adjusted filters, moving to a new computer or whatever must…

You can export your entire scene collection to a json file and import it on another computer.

If you keep all of your media and such in the same folder, then the new Missing Files dialog on startup will also auto detect every source after you point one to the new location.

If you use OBS, I would love show you our product https://www.stream.club . We're bringing OBS into the browser, making it really easy to create live video content. Our customers find that they can get setup in Stream Club much faster than they can with OBS, and they don't need a powerful computer to do it. Happy to answer any questions!

This looks like a slightly inferior version of https://streamyard.com/ (in particular, fewer participants at each price level) - do you have any value propositions above what they offer?

Lightstream has also been around and doing the same thing for so long that they rebranded once form their old name Infiniscene

Having upgraded OBS before on macOS, I backed it up first, then installed the new version. As somewhat expected to me, the new version is not launching. I had to launch it from CLI to see and see there is an error: error: os_dlopen(libpython3.9.dylib->libpython3.9.dylib): dlopen(libpython3.9.dylib, 257): image not found It also changes something in the stored state on disk so that next time you try to launch an older…

Pretty sure (can't check rn) Big Sur only bundles Python 3.8 (and earlier OSes may be even older Python versions). Installing 3.9 from python.org might fix this. I can't see which other version they would build against but not include in the install.

Python 3.9 is already installed and linked via Homebrew. I already have an issue open about this in the repo.

> use of my iPhone as the video camera for Zoom calls FWIW I've used iVcam until recently, and I'm now an happy user of Reincubate Camo

(which will appear as a camera source on its own, no OBS required. I was for a while a happy Camo user too, but eventually bought a webcam so I didn't have to hook and unhook my phone; it's good software)

My favorite OBS feature is that you can bring in transparent browser windows all over the place. As such, I have my work conferencing set up so my time appears in the upper-right corner. I’m on the east coast and everyone I work with is on the west coast. It’s a nice way to remind them of my current time. (It also passive aggressively animated to purple with a moon when its “after hours,” a/k/a 5pm for me.) I also ha…

OBS can alter a zoom or slack stream?

OBS is great! Microsoft Teams broke virtual cam support a couple of months back on windoss. Has anyone found a workaround to maybe fake OBS virtual cam as a physical one? I would be grateful!
