\f0\b\fs36 \cf0 About Syphon Virtual Webcam
\f1\b0\fs24 \
\fs12 \
\fs24 This free app, created for you by {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "https://troikatronix.com"}}{\fldrslt TroikaTronix/Isadora}}, allows you to send a Syphon video stream to a compatible application that supports video input from a webcam. It relies on the Open Broadcasting System (OBS) Virtual Webcam driver first implemented by John Boiles.\
\
If you have installed OBS v26.1 or later, you can install the latest OBS Virtual Webcam driver by opening OBS and choosing
\f0\b Help > Install OBS Virtual Webcam
\f1\b0 . Please note that you cannot use Syphon Virtual Webcam while OBS's virtual webcam output is running, i.e., after choosing
\f0\b Start Virtual Webcam
\f1\b0 ; trying to do this may lead to unpredictable results including crashes.\
\
If you have not installed OBS (or have installed a version of OBS before v26.1) then Syphon Virtual Camera will guide you through the process of downloading and installing the standalone OBS Virtual Webcam driver from {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "https://github.com/johnboiles/obs-mac-virtualcam"}}{\fldrslt John Boiles' GitHub Repository}}.\
\
The latest version of Syphon Virtual Webcam can be found in the {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "https://troikatronix.com/plugin/syphon-virtual-webcam/"}}{\fldrslt plugins section}} of the TroikaTronix website.\
\
\f0\b\fs36 Compatibility
\f1\b0\fs24 \
\fs12 \
\fs24 The applications that work with with OBS Virtual Camera depend on the version of macOS you are using and the application itself. Jump to the the {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "https://github.com/johnboiles/obs-mac-virtualcam/wiki/Compatibility"}}{\fldrslt OBS Virtual Camera Compatibility listing}} for the most recent list of compatible (and incompatible) applications.\
\
\f0\b\fs36 How to Use
\f1\b0\fs24 \
\fs12 \
\pard\tx220\tx720\pardeftab720\li720\fi-720\partightenfactor0
\ls1\ilvl0
\fs24 \cf0 {\listtext 1. }Ensure your Syphon source is running.\
{\listtext 2. }Select your Syphon source using the popup menu in the main window.\

\pard\pardeftab720\partightenfactor0
\cf0 \
If you don't see "OBS Virtual Webcam" in the list of webcams, then your app may not be compatible with virtual webcams. Check the {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "https://github.com/johnboiles/obs-mac-virtualcam/wiki/Compatibility"}}{\fldrslt list of applications compatible with OBS Virtual Webcam}}.\
\f0\b\fs36 \
