# OBS-VirtualCam

**OBS-VirtualCam** is a plugin/tool that allows the output of [[obs-studio]] to be recognized by the operating system as a standard webcam. 

This is critical for [[hybridveranstaltung]] and [[web-conferencing]], as it allows instructors to send a professionally produced scene (including overlays, multiple sources, and slides) into a video call instead of a simple camera feed. The URZ provides different installation paths for Windows and macOS.
