# OBS
|
|
|
|
[Open Broadcaster Software](https://obsproject.com) - short OBS - is a free
|
|
and open source software for video recording and live streaming.
|
|
For webcams and their configuration see [the webcams entry](/wiki/webcams.md#configure-the-webcam).
|
|
|
|
## Plugins
|
|
|
|
There are several plugins made by non-obs developers.
|
|
The plugins introduce different and new features.
|
|
|
|
### Virtual Camera
|
|
|
|
By using a virtual camera the views of OBS can be used as an additional camera
|
|
output, making it possible to add effects and more to the video feed of the
|
|
camera.
|
|
|
|
#### Installation (Linux)
|
|
|
|
First of all [V4L2](./linux/v4l2.md) needs to be set up.
|
|
This guide assumes it is set up according to the section in the
|
|
[V4L2 entry](./linux/v4l2.md#v4l2loopback).
|
|
Make sure to
|
|
[start the service](/wiki/linux/systemd.md#startstopenabledisable-a-service) by
|
|
running `systemctl start v4l2loopback.service` or enable it to start after each
|
|
boot with `systemctl enable v4l2loopback.service`.
|
|
Afterwards the virtual camera can be started.
|
|
|
|
### Background Removal
|
|
|
|
Background removal removes the background of a camera image stream.
|
|
The removed background can be replaced with color key filters.
|
|
|
|
#### Installation
|
|
|
|
Made by royshil
|
|
[the github page](https://github.com/royshil/obs-backgroundremoval#linux)
|
|
describes various possibilities to install the background removal for OBS on
|
|
different systems.
|
|
On Linux systems background removal is often contained in a package named
|
|
`obs-backgroundremoval` or similarly.
