Virtual camera works good in other apps, but Videosync simply doesn’t see it.
Hi Haru,
We were able to get OBS Virtual Camera to appear in External In using the solution written on this page. Obviously it would be nicer if Videosync would handle this more elegantly, so I’ll add a ticket to see if we can improve this.
Thanks! It works like a charm!
Hi there, i used this workaround to sign the Canon EOS Webtool Kit to Videosync and it worked fine. Since i updated to Version 1.3, the Cam is again not noticed by videosync and trying this workaround today results in an Error: /yourapppath/Videosync.app/: internal error in Code Signing subsystem. I’m not very used to the terminal, so i’m stuck here - if you maybe have some ideas, it would be nice. By the way: the link to the OBS page is not available anymore and gives 404. I documented the steps so i can copy it here for people to use (replace yourapppath is the folder of your apps):
Xcode-select --install
sudo codesign --remove-signature “/yourapppath/Videosync.app/”
sudo codesign --sign - “/yourapppath/Videosync.app/”
But as mentioned, for me it does not work anymore.
Lot’s of greetings.
Thanks for informing us!
Strange that the OBS article now returns a 404. Not sure what changes may have happened in the meantime. Will have to investigate this and get back to you once we know more.
Turns out that work has been done to improve OBS Virtual Camera compatibility with OBS 30, which is still in beta at the time of writing this. You can download the current latest beta from the bottom of this page.
After installing and setting all the permissions for OBS (as usual), the Virtual Camera showed up again as available input device in Videosync’s External In device. No extra manual tinkering required.
So it looks like no work needs to be done anymore on our side either; OBS seems to handle the Virtual Camera much more graciously from v30 onwards.
Hi Jean-Paul, thank you very much. I followed your steps and it works, the OBS virtual cam is shown again as external Device in “External In” module of videosync.
Hey guys, can I open this thread back up?
I’m trying to connect my iPhone to obs using the virtual camera extension because it seems like this is the only way I will be able to do this. Unfortunately all 3rd party apps that turn my iPhone into a webcam on windows gives me an error in Videosync. iVcam, Camo Studio, etc.
I figured obs studio would be the best option then I found this thread. I cannot seem to get Videosync’s external input device to recognize obs virtual camera. I can’t seem to find where this was resolved in this thread as well. I just downloaded the lastest version of OBS which is way passed beta stage now. I’m thinking there should be a work around. Any suggestions @Jean-Paul ?
Hey @Gio, this thread and my answers relating to it were from before Videosync 2 was released, meaning that it was all strictly relating to macOS. We do have a ticket mentioning that OBS Virtual Camera doesn’t work with Videosync on Windows. I can’t say when this may get fixed at this point.
