Helpful information

Feeds include Program, Preview, Scene, Source, and Replay Channel A/B where available. Require confirmation on stop protects an active camera. On Windows, Start can offer camera repair if readiness checks require it; decline or close to cancel repair. Start succeeds only after preparation is verified. Camera video selection in another app is separate from that app microphone/audio selection.

If something is wrong

Check camera state and selected feed. Configure the receiving app’s microphone separately; selecting a virtual camera supplies its picture.
