OBS Virtual Camera is not showing in jit.grab

Hi folks! Does anyone use OBS? Can you check if you have OBS Virtual Camera showing in jit.grab? I tested on 2 PCs and it does not work. I can see the device, but no image.

Any other tips?

Thank you!

I tested using Zoom and it works there

I don't think jit.grab supports virtual cameras. An alternative approach is use NDI output from OBS and the NDI-to-Spout app to sent to Max.

I've been using virtual cameras with jit.grab for years. At least on OSX they work just fine, here quick test with OBS.

Hi Rob. Thank you! I ended up installing Spout cameras on OBS and Spout inside of Max

Weird that it does not work on my PCs.

Thank you, 2K!
I am still curious to know if it works on Windows on other people's PCs

glad Spout camera is working without requiring NDI! Probably more performant than virtual camera too.
