OBS virtual camera plug-ins for both Mac and Windows

In this new era where work from home and daily video conferencing is the norm, it's worthwhile investing a bit of extra time and effort to improve the video experience.

OBS Studio is a fantastic free, open-source app for mixing video on your computer. And with these plug-ins that let you route the output for OBS into nearly any video conferencing app (Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams…).

I set up a green screen, some umbrella lights and a tripod with a smartphone mount (see below). I use that to put in an appropriate background for my video calls and get pro-quality video. I also picked up the OBS iPhone camera app, and for $16 it's a fantastic way to get a high quality video signal into your computer.
