  • Updated

Yes, it is possible to use OBS Virtual Camera with Genymotion SaaS. To do so, please follow the instructions below:

Genymotion Camera API is limited to 720p, therefore it is necessary to set OBS Studio video output resolution to 720p:

  1. Stop the Virtual Camera if it is running.
  2. In OBS Studio, go to Files > Settings and navigate to the Video section.
  3. Click on the drop-down list Output (Scaled) Resolution and select the "1280x720" resolution:

  4. Click "Apply" and "OK" to apply the change and close the window.
  5. Start the Virtual Camera
