Can I use this with msft teams?

Yes. It just acts like a web cam; does live video interpolation of yr actual cam and so Msft Teams can't tell the diff.

The only app that virtual webcam tools won't work with is FaceTime on macOS (supposedly for security reasons).

maybe target this to livestreamers - entertainers - than the corporate workplace crowd the pitch seems jarring but other people seem to have corporate workplace uses for it and that's a bigger audience so maybe have at it!

OBS is already miles ahead in this regard: better customizability, better integration with existing platforms, free, etc. imo, mmhmm is simple and is really good for presentations in my experience, so perfect fit for corporate workplace crowd

Tried OBS on Ubuntu to do this kind of thing at work but it added several seconds of latency. Is this normal and how does OP's app get around this?

I like this approach. Everything it does can be achieved by OBS with a couple of plugins, but this is a very user-friendly packaging of great looking presets: use cases over technology. Also, super fun name.

I agree about the pitch and video. I can't tell if this is a business application that would give me more control over my meeting presentations, or if this is targeted for casual fun and/or streamers.

We've lost our ability to produce content with simplicity, decency, discipline and sophistication: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLByTa5duIolYRtq45Cz_G... Engagement metrics, click ratios and all this fricking noise - I want us to go back when watching the History channel on TV was actually about History. There are a handful of video content producers on the internet that I can watch without getting my blood…

there is bad content, then there is good content. I follow chess streamers and content producers, and I am happy with the content and medium.

"Desktop software is dead!" "Everything can now be Electron!" Yes, do this on iOS or Android or Electron.

This project is entirely doable on any of those platforms.

Edit: perhaps with some difficulty for the last hop to a virtual device on Electron, to be fair.

Linux is a quagmire, but latency problems on OBS boil down to needing a fast computer, with a powerful graphics card to encode, and carefully configured audio (the default pulseaudio setup is usually a problem). Using JACK or similar will fix a lot of trouble, but really you just need horsepower to process video at HD resolution in real time.

What part of "Mmhmm" could be regarded as "super fun"?
