Use with Google Meet

Apply a real-time face swap in Google Meet by routing your Facecast session through OBS Virtual Camera — works in any browser-based Meet session.

By Facecast TeamUpdated

Requirements

  • →Active Facecast session
  • →OBS Studio with OBS Virtual Camera
  • →Chrome, Edge, or Firefox (Meet works best in Chromium-based browsers)

Steps

1

Start the swap in one browser tab

Open facecast.org/faceswap and grant camera access. Confirm the swap is rendering. Keep this tab open in the background.

2

Set up OBS Window Capture + Virtual Camera

In OBS, add a Window Capture source pointed at the Facecast tab and start OBS Virtual Camera. (One-time setup — see the OBS guide.)

3

Open Google Meet in another tab

meet.google.com → start or join a meeting. Make sure OBS Virtual Camera is RUNNING before you open Meet — the browser only enumerates cameras at page load.

Tip: If "OBS Virtual Camera" doesn't appear in the camera list, fully reload meet.google.com (Cmd/Ctrl-R) — Chrome re-enumerates devices on reload.
4

Switch Meet to the virtual camera

In the Meet meeting, click the ⋮ menu → Settings → Video → Camera dropdown → "OBS Virtual Camera". The swapped video appears immediately for all participants.

5

Switch faces mid-call

Switch the source face in the Facecast tab and the change propagates through OBS to Meet within ~1 second. No re-setup required.
