Yes there’s OBS Virtual Camera and there’s NDI tools

See the setup section here: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/TakeRemoteWorkerEducatorWebca...

Zoom on Windows 10 does not seem to recognize the obs-cam virtual camera. Unfortunately.

If anyone has a solution for this, I'd love to get a hint.

Their latest Windows version has some weird DLL blacklist which blocks the ffmpeg DLLs used by the virtual camera. I made an inert version of the DLL[1] but this will break screen sharing due to a set of digital signature checks Zoom does before screen sharing.

You need to downgrade Zoom to 4.6.7: https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-virtual-cam/issues/78

Thank you! It looks like virtual camera only works on Windows for those who are interested.
