      i usually use AppZapper to remove stuff, but it may have left something behind.

       It may not know about the location of the driver. It lives at

      /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/

      in any case, the v0.9.6 version of Syphon Virtual Webcam works with both the old driver and the new one from OBS 26.1. But if you really want to downgrade, then

      • quit everything
      • go to /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
      • delete obs-mac-virtualcam.plugin
      • and restart Syphon Virtual Webcam

      In any case, thanks for the info. I'm a bit slammed at the moment, but I will see what I can find out as soon as I can.

      Best Wishes,

        i fixed another issue, which means i can use my iMac instead of my Macbook for this project - today, with the same setup on the iMac, SVW has been stable. thanks for the advice. i'll try it on my laptop at some point and report back.

          It's been a while since I've used Syphon, but I've used it successfully in the past. I just tried to get it up and going, but Zoom didn't recognize it. I followed the steps above to uninstall everything and started from scratch. 

          Now, when I try to open Syphon (to then re-install the OBS Virtual Cam), the icon appears on the dock, but the actual window doesn't appear. If I go to help>install OBS Virtual Camera Plugin it waits and then closes the Syphon app. I can't get any further. Any ideas? 

          Best,

            It might not be compatible with macOS Sonoma

                  @woland Hahahaha 

                  and getting NDI into zoom is still really pricey--I think I might just be stuck with this one

                    You could check and see if OBS's actual virtual webcam plugin for OBS has been updated to support Sonoma. You should be able to get Isadora or NDI output into OBS. That might be a path forward.

                      Appears to be a solution here: https://support.apple.com/en-u...

                      I'll be checking it out tomorrow

                        It may still be a solution, but not for me. I restored the legacy camera settings but no luck

                          It didn't work for me either.

                            Is there any plan of updating Syphon Virtual Webcam to work in Sonoma? 

                            Does anyone know of another virtual webcam solution they would recommend?

                              An alternative could be NDI virtual input: https://ndi.video/tools/ndi-virtual-input/

                              I've been using it for a while and it works great.

                                     FWIW I have the same problem and I'm on Ventura 13.6.7.

                                    I installed Syphon Virtual Webcam after already having the latest OBS installed and when I launch it the icon shows up in the doc, but no main window. Interacting with the Virtual Webcam in any way (like the help -> install OBS Virtual Camera Plugin) causes the program to close..

                                    Just a bit more info for debugging in case it's helpful

                                        We have a version that should work for newer macOS operating systems that we are testing internally.
