About 1-2-spare hours to get this all set up and working (this took me far longer as I was researching tools and such, but I just went through an exercise of setting up my ‘studio’ yesterday and it took me about 30 minutes from start to broadcast).For the visually inclined, here’s what we’re trying to achieve: Spoiler alert – For the life of me, I couldn’t find a write-up for this exact scenario from end-to-end out on the internet, the solution isn’t drop-dead simple, but this guide should make it pretty painless. This got me thinking – there must be a (relatively) easy way to use old technology we see (well, we actually don’t see it, but I digress) in the nightly news and Hollywood all the time – using a simple green screen to manipulate the background on a Microsoft Teams (or any other web-cam powered call) in real-time. However, there is a new dimension introduced here, which is a live feed of each caller and their immediate surroundings. This typically is a far more productive use of a group’s time – it’s a more efficient medium than a conference call, as you can communicate with both verbal and non-verbal cues. You can see your audience, read their reactions, and connect with them as a person vs. Video Calls - We’ve all been on them, and most would tend to agree that they are more effective than conference calls.
The resolution is shown in Step 3, you also no longer need to include Syphon in your OBS configuration. For example, it doesn't work with FaceTime.We've recently updated this article to address an issue that the latest version of MacOS has introduced with Syphon inject.

The CamTwist "virtual" video device should also be available in most other programs that use Mac OS X Core Video services, i.e.

When you go to configure your camera settings for video chat, you should see a new "camera" device available, called "CamTwist Studio." If you select this device, your video stream should be the modified, low-resolution 320x240 (or whatever size you chose) stream, plus any effects you added in CamTwist. Most web-based video chat/meeeting services (such as GoToMeeting) use Adobe Flash for handling video. Now you're ready to launch your web browser (in 32-bit mode).(optional) If you wish, play around with the many interesting effects available within CamTwist, such as "Comic Book," shown here: A window should pop up showing you a live video stream from your camera device. Skip to Step 5 in the Cam Twist main window - select your camera device in the Settings column:.Follow the Steps in the CamTwist main window: double-click "WebCam" from the Video Sources column. You'll then need to define a "Setup" in CamTwist studio.(Suggest 320 x 240 for low-bandwidth internet connections.) Open CamTwist Studio, go to the Preferences, click the Video Devices tab, choose your video device, then use the "Force camera resolution" setting to force whatever resolution you prefer.(Why? Because the Adobe Flash browser plugin must run in 32-bit mode in order to access the CamTwist virtual camera device.) To do this, go to the Finder, locate your web browser app, do "Get Info", and check the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox. Set your web browser to run in 32-bit mode.

(I'd bet it probably works in 10.7, also.)ĭownload the free (donation-ware) webcam effects utility CamTwist Studio. I've tested this solution under OS X 10.8. You can work around this by piping the video output from your web camera into another program that processes the camera's video stream and "re-publishes" it to your Mac as a virtual camera (aka pseudo-camera) which will be available for use in other applications on your Mac. Apple (or a 3rd party) should write a utility to allow you to dial down the native resolution of the internal camera, but to my knowledge they have not, so far.
