I have a Sony ZV-1. It took a bit to get it going but I'm now seeing the crispest image in OBS on a webcam that I have ever personally used. Coupled with the shallow depth of field with the ZV-1's fast(ish) lens it's a huge step up from my 2016 MBP 720p webcam.

So far I have tested the following: Skype: "No device found" (laptop closed) Zoom: Only FaceTime HD Camera detected Quicktime: Captures only the Imaging Edge Webcam logo screen OBS: Works great - added a "Sony Camera" perfectly first time

If anyone wants me to try something else, let me know.

Here's the compatibility list for the mac obs webcam plugin. I wonder if Sony's driver has the same issues.

OBS is the only app I have been able to get working so far.

I will definitely to this soon though... but it would be good to do quick Zoom meetings without using OBS.
