OBS

Open Broadcaster Software - short OBS - is a free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Additionally see the the webcams entry if on Linux.

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 needs to be set up. This guide assumes it is set up according to the section in the V4L2 entry. Make sure to start the 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 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.
