[Bounty] Implement virtual camera cross platform

This may be against the community guidelines, if so I apologize.

Everyone is working from home. I know a lot of people who need OBS now but to broadcast into video conferencing software like zoom/meet/teams. I personally use obs-virtual-cam on windows but most of my company and most of the tech world lives on mac for work.

I feel right now is a great time for OBS to implement this as a core feature and gain an entirely new group of users.

So here is what I'd like to see:

  • OBS should support to output to a virtual camera and virtual microphone
  • This should be available on Mac/PC/Linux(if possible)
  • The feature should be enabled by default to make setup easier

I know this is a tricky feature. I imagine there might be driver signing issues or simply platform limitations lurking. But if this sounds interesting and you need a project I'm happy to support this feature with a bounty of $10,000 as an additional incentive.
