Zoom Selectively Blurring Video from OBS

[AnthonyAdams]

I use OBS to add logos to my video feed. Sometimes Zoom blurs out the logos on the bottom of my screen. It looks like it's trying to autofocus on my face or something.  Sometimes if I put my hand behind the logo int he composite video, the logo comes back into focus. I want zoom to just use my video feed exactly as it comes in, as I'm already modding it how I want in OBS.

This is coming from the OBS feed so I don't think it's happening on the camera (I'm using a newer iPhone linked to my macbook laptop over bluetooth). 

Center stage is turned off, and there are no "blur" settings in Zoom -- everything seems to be off / default.

Any ideas?

Overlays in OBS are best handled using the downstream key plugin or overlaying it as an image source in OBS. It is not clear from your description exactly how you are overlaying the logo.

Hi, OBS is not the problem as the “output” of OBS is exactly as it needs to be.

im just putting 2 logo on top of my video stream using the scene.

zoom is distorting the video in some attempt to be “helpful” and blurring out the edges of the frame.

id like zoom to stop doing things to my video, I’ve unchecked every box but it still does it.

Zoom does not distort the video unless blur is selected in "virtual backgrounds". Would need to see screenshots of the "virtual backgrounds" tab including the image of the webcam feed video. The shot should look similar to this one below, which is an example of OBS Studio input to Zoom with an overlay.

Unfortunately, it does. 

The feed going in is verified unblurred and only within Zoom does it focus / unfocus on parts of the video feed.

I will provide screenshots of all settings and the blurring effect it’s causing.

Need to know what method you used to connect OBS to Zoom since there are several ways to do that. My example uses DistroAV NDI plugin and NDI 6 webcam. Also, need to see how you created the scene in OBS and need to see the Zoom settings > video  settings and how you connected the camera to OBS.
