How to Set Up an OBS Virtual Camera

Updated over a week ago

If you would like to record your Modelcentro LiveShows, you might consider using OBS - virtual camera software while streaming. If you would like to use OBS for your live show, here are the steps you will need to follow:

1. Download and install the latest version of OBS suitable for your device.

2. Upon opening the program for the first time, you can be offered to choose a streaming service. As Modelcentro does not currently provide official support for third-party software, you can simply skip this step and proceed to the Sources tab, hit the “+” button, and choose to add a Video capture device.

3. The Properties tab is likely to be opened automatically after you add a device, but if it is not, please click on the Video capture device you created and hit the Properties button right above it. In the opened tab, please select the OBS camera and set up a preset for the maximum resolution of your camera.

4. After you’ve hit the OK button, feel free to click ‘Start virtual camera’ - and your OBS is ready to use.

5. Starting our stream! Open Modelcentro, proceed to the Live Shows tab, start a new show, and choose OBS Virtual Camera as your Camera device:

Everything is ready now, good luck with your new show! :)
