Hi all.

First time I have installed and initialized Zoom running OBS Virtual CAM plugin works fine. After close the Zoom Desktop and open again, I can see the OBS Cameras but video is not working and can not turn on the video…

Any idea?

Other apps are running this properly like, Whereby, Skype etc…

I have tried to unistall Zoom and reinstall many times and not possible…

Thanks in advance

**Which version?**  
**4.6.8 (19178.0323)**

Same issue here with the latest update. Fortunately I have an installer from last month that works fine. However, I would like to have a solution to this that works with the new update.

Thanks for sharing the mac installer. Once I installed the older version, my virtual camera was detected again. Now, I still don’t have access to screen share my iPad again like before. Any help with that?

Hi everyone,

Please have a try with the latest version of Zoom client, it should work with OBS Virtual Cam.

Thanks!

Well, Zoom does not detect my virtual cam anymore. In my case, 4.6.8 (19178.0323) works fine. But the latest version (0408) doesn’t. Quicktime and OBS always detect it.

The latest version (0408) also isn’t working for me. I can see my virtual camera in Quicktime, and I also had success with 4.6.8.

@carson.zoom, may we expect an update for MacOS also? Update 4.6.10 running on Mojave results in missing virtual webcam, in my case from ManyCam. Thanks
