its just because my home office is a gaming PC. But now it turns out its significantly better because of the obs-virtualcam plugin working well on windows. This should be a default feature, hence the bounty.

With 300 for a half-day, it would be 600 for a full day and 12000 for 20 days of work. In most parts of the world, that's an extremely high level salary and could easily fund most peoples month, granted they live outside of Silicon Valley. I'm sure many people would be more than happy to receive 300 or much less for half a day of work.
The going rate for a developer is about £300-600 a day in North Europe for relatively common skillsets such as C#. It isn't just silicon valley. The $10,000 bounty is about right for this sort of work. In fact it might be a little low, but I have no idea how OBS works internally so I could be completely wrong.

> It's not purely used for video games, mind you. Indeed. I also use it to stream sports with the scores as an overlay, and to record training videos. Basically if you're doing anything "live" with video, it's the tool you want.
Another option that's a little higher end is to use a dedicated video production rig, and feed that into your computer (or use the rig's direct integrations). Something like a Tricaster ( https://www.newtek.com/tricaster/ ), which is very popular for live event video production. The more complex the setup, though, the more likely you'd need additional people working the controls. (But also, the more flexibility and c…

OBS can do all of that except nativley output a virtual camera. I use windows and the virtual cam plugin works well for that, though it doesnt do the audio. I think you can set it up externally to obs using a virtual audio cable driver but I haven't really needed it.
> OBS can do all of that except nativley output a virtual camera. Right, that's literally the title of the article we're commenting on: OBS can't do that thing that we need.
Note that I don't have a horse in this race. I've only used basic features of OBS and have never heard of Telestream. I'm just pointing out the possible miscommunication here.
Sounds interesting, what are the common use-cases for this?

Doesnt Microsoft Teams and other conferencing tools call this feature "screen sharing"? Also, for development, why dont people ssh into a shared server and multi tmux together? Thats a kind of screen sharing.
This is about having OBS' output appear as a video source on the operating system. You're solving the wrong problem. :-)

Only some of the tech world lives on MAC and basically streamers use PC's.The other way of course is to use a second PC. What of course should be done is have this as part of the operating system and for audio too - id like to use Ableton live as the audio input into my Hangouts etc.
This makes me think. Is there a service that handles crowd-sourcing and processing payments a bit like Kickstarter but on a smaller scale? Say, if someone proposes a feature and the developer says "I'll do it for $300", users could donate until the goal is reached. With the promise of payment, the developer can go ahead and spend the time/effort, and everybody wins. But setting up a Kickstarter, IndieGogo, etc is too…
I think bounties create an unhealthy incentive structure. The kind of thinking you expressed in your post that payments shouldn't be seen as "charity" leads to people trying to not "waste" their bounties. They'll add it to issues the maintainers won't do otherwise, which in turn leads maintainers to hold the code hostage, not doing something they'd have done had there been no bounty structure, hoping that someone pos…
