As things settled down, we switched to using the house sound system and with its wireless lav mic, piped into OBS PC.

#Obs studio webcam black c920 Bluetooth#

Within a month I'd switched to an alternate microphone, as person speaking was a bit over 6ft away from camera (for decent background setting using existing statuary, I started with a Plantronics Bluetooth headset). Trying to cover a larger room with a webcam. With a single person speaking relatively close to C920, with consistent lighting (I used a LED video light with octagonal softbox), you should be fine. We started our HoW livestream last Mar/April, and I switched us to OBS and the C920 in early April (from simple Mobile device only livestream). Then, recently mentioned being careful when re-scaling sources as the OBS default is a fast CPU (but not necessarily high quality) re-scaling, therefore he advised changing Scale Filtering from Disabled (default setting) to bi-cubicĪnd then, depending on CPU/GPU power of your system, is avoiding unnecessary re-scaling (ie base vs output canvas) like a smartphone, designed to filter out sounds coming from further away, simply couldn't focus on further distances

they are designed for close usage, so focus over 6-10ft away maybe pretty soft (my experience). Also confirm that the Teams web app works fine, as does Zoom.A couple of things to be aware when using the C920 or most any webcam Intersted if anyone gets anywhere with this. Although a little faff this doesn't transition to black and white and also remains at higher quality. My best workaround is feeding the camera through OBS and using the virtual webcam. My main system is an old i7-4930K with a Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, testing between this and a NUC 6i5 somthing from yesteryear.

#Obs studio webcam black c920 drivers#

I have tried a quadro card in my computer today (P2000) and that seemed to work ok in a teams call between my local computers as well as a remote colleague using the latest quadro drivers (460.89) The log files doesn't say anything about these refreshes. Of course if there were some settings / info to pull up about the camera this may help. Interestingly if you apply a background effect that is also in black and white so it is applying this to the outbound feed rather than the camera (hence the preview window still looks ok). Looking closely It also appears that Teams drops the resolution of the camera (even if it doesn't go B&W) so half wonder if it's going into a lower bandwith mode or some compression which is causing this effect to trigger. One observation I have made with the new camera though is Teams starts in colour, the camera feed refreshes once, still in colour then about 6-9 seconds later it happens again and it is this point where it would transition to black and white. Spending more time swapping both the C270 and Brio between multiple systems the cameras are defintely fine.

Also now have a Brio 4k since the price of the C270 almost trebbled in the last 6 months figured may as well get an upgrade and it also does the same thing going to black and white but without the red / orange halo / spludges in the corner of my screen. I also had / have a Logitech C270 HD and at first thought it was that which had gone wrong (I had opened it up shortly after buying since the fixed focus was off and needed to adjust it). Is it possible my organisation applies settings (even though using personal computer)? However after excitedly calling a colleague to say it was fixed it was again back in black and white. I looked in more detail at the nvidia drivers and noticed HDCP was complaining about a repeater over display port (even though direct from card to monitor) so I changed to HDMI and it was back in colour between my local machines. Upgrading to the latest (currently 460.79 or the hotfix 460.97) geforce drivers gives the black and white output but from my testing 457.09 was ok.

I think it partly (or entirely) has something to do with nvidia (geforce) drivers since I regularly update these it would make sense that I wouldn't even think about associating it with the change.įrom today's rebuild of windows, Win 10 Pro 圆4 installs nvidia drivers 456.71 during its install process and teams seems to work ok between my computers (using my Teams account) and between a colleague using my work account.

#Obs studio webcam black c920 windows#

Joined to try and find a solution to this! Same thing been happening to me for the last month or so, have gone through numerous re-format and re-install of Windows and even set up a separate Teams account on another machine to test / replicate the issue.
