OBS Virtual Camera freeze

Using Win 11, OBS 29 virtual Camera with latest release of Zoom. In OBS I can change from one scene to another, but Zoom will not change. I can only use Zoom with the original scene selected in OBS. This is severely limiting the benefit of Zoom.

 

Has anyone else had this issue? It started after moving to Windows 11

Hi @pvandors just checking in! Are you still having issues with OBS?

Thanks for checking, I forgot to post an update after I fixed it. It turns out that OBS memory management was the issue. I had many OBS scenes defined, and each requires memory in OBS. Once I deleted them all the issue was resolved. Now I make it a practice to have a small number of working scenes which I modify each week for the Sunday church service. I've had no issues since I made this change.

Hey @pvandors, was able to switch scenes with the following output type and output selection setup in OBS. 

 

 

And, of course, ensuring OBS Virtual Camera is selected as the source within Zoom.

That stopped working for me after I installed win 11. I am no longer able to use OBS and Zoom together.

Hey @pvandors I am currently running 15.13.6, suggest updating if not currently running the latest version of Zoom. You can also try uninstalling Zoom, rebooting, and doing a fresh install of Zoom from https://zoom.us/download 

 

Also, suggest uninstalling OBS and reinstalling
