Requirements

→Active Facecast session
→OBS Studio with OBS Virtual Camera
→Zoom desktop app (latest)

Start the swap in your browser

Open facecast.org/faceswap, allow camera access, and pick a face. Leave the tab open — Zoom doesn't read it directly; OBS will.

Capture the browser tab in OBS

Follow the OBS guide: add a Window Capture source pointed at the browser tab and start OBS Virtual Camera. Do this once — OBS remembers the source.

Tip: Once OBS Window Capture is set up, you can keep the same browser tab and the same OBS scene across all your meetings.

Select OBS Virtual Camera in Zoom

Open Zoom → Settings → Video → Camera dropdown → "OBS Virtual Camera". The swapped feed appears in the Zoom preview.

Join or start your meeting

Start / join the meeting as usual. Participants see the chosen face with your real expressions and head movements — no plugin install required on their side.

Tip: Zoom enterprise tenants that block plugins still allow virtual cameras — OBS Virtual Camera looks like any other webcam to Zoom.
