Syphon Virtual Webcam - Questions & Assistance

@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

@rwillats

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

@rwillats

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.

 At the moment we are focusing on the (imminent) release of Isadora 4

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? 

 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

Any news on updates for Syphon Virtual Webcam? I just moved to a newer Mac that is running 15.3.2 and SVW is not working...

@dbini

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