On the Mac, Telestream Wirecast ($599) [1] does this.

Not saying Wirecast is better or worse than OBS - although for me, on the Mac platform, Wirecast was way better. I can capture a desktop or app window, overlay my webcam on top of it in the bottom corner, use chroma key to remove my background, and then I float on top of apps. That video feed can be outputted as a webcam stream that works with GoToWebinar, Skype, Hangouts, etc.

You can see examples of what it looks like to attendees via my blog: https://www.brentozar.com/archive/2020/03/free-fundamentals-...

One drawback is that some webcasting apps (GoToWebinar in particular) have a max webcam output resolution, like in GoToWebinar's case, 720p. That means you have to be really careful about which apps/screens you try to share as a webcam.

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.

Right, that's literally the title of the article we're commenting on: OBS can't do that thing that we need.

I think that person's reply was prompted by you saying that Telestream was "way better for you" but then listing all but one feature provided by OBS.

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.
