Create Professional Productions
- Choose from a number of different and customizable transitions for when you switch between your scenes or add your own stinger video files.
- Set hotkeys for nearly every sort of action, such as switching between scenes, starting/stopping streams or recordings, muting audio sources, push to talk, and more.
- Studio Mode lets you preview your scenes and sources before pushing them live. Adjust your scenes and sources or create new ones and ensure they're perfect before your viewers ever see them.
- Get a high level view of your production using the Multiview. Monitor 8 different scenes and easily cue or transition to any of them with merely a single or double click.

Version: 30.2.2
There is a known issue with the virtual camera feature in recent versions of OBS.
What happens is that OBS will give an error message that says it can't find the virtual camera, when you try to enable it.
To fix this, you just need to log out from your account and then log back in again.
this will trigger macOS to check again for things such as the virtual camera. Now it will work again.
From my testing, this only appears to need to be done once after updating OBS.
Hope this helps.
