#2Tobi (Shopify’s CEO) has put up the bounty.

#3For the purposes of pranking people on zoom calls, I setup a OBS / Syphon / Camtwist flow that works great for my alternative conference requirements (ranging from matrix style graphics, playing videos of me on the green screen doing things in the background, scrolling comments on the meeting on my video feed etc...).
However... it is a major MAJOR PITA to get going when I want to jump on a quick call and more than often I'm in and out of the meeting a few times because of annoying defaults or software I forgot to start. But that 1 in 10 prank feeling? Well worth the 9 false starts.
I'd love OBS to work on its own to remove a few more steps from my setup!

#4What's "OBS?"
That would be valuable information.

#5Sounds interesting, what are the common use-cases for this?

#6Let's not jump to conclusions here. The 10k bounty has been _proposed_ but not yet accepted by the maintainers of OBS. As dodgepong writes:

So they want to have a RFC with a bounty attached to it, before the bounty is actually "activated".
In before all you rush to implement the feature.

You can use OBS for things like compositing a video of your face over a video of your computer screen, and allowing output to a loopback monitor interface (i.e. virtual camera / microphone) would allow you to share that view via generic video conferencing software like Jitsi or Zoom.

#8> I personally use obs-virtual-cam on windows but most of my company and most of the tech world lives on mac for work.
I was wondering about that some days ago that how many "high profile" CEOs are outliers in their company using Windows or Linux

If you can share a view details on your setup that would be great!

#10Not exactly the same scenario, but I just wanted to share a neat little hack I discovered yesterday… I work with a team who now meet in Google Hangouts but it doesn’t work over the company’s internal network yet… so I couldn’t share my screen to do a demo of an internal app. Instead, I got another computer which was on the internal network, plugged the HDMI output into an Elgato Camlink, which made it show up as a Webcam. Beyond needing two computers, it worked much easier than I thought—more reliably actuallly than any camera I’d plugged into the Camlink until now.
