How to Link the Cameras in OBS
In order to connect the software to your goggles and additional webcams, a link must be created between them. Most of the work is done for you in the template, but this is a “last mile” connection that is custom to your computer.
A. Connect All Cameras
In order make sure OBS can see all of the connected devices, plug in the goggles and optionally an external webcam if you are using a camera not built-in to your computer.
B. Link Camera Scene
In the Scenes box confirm 9 – LINK CAMERAS is selected and if not click on it.
C. Open Properties of Left Eye Camera
In the Sources box, double left-click on Camera 1 (Left Eye) to open the properties window.
D. Select Left Eye
In the Device dropdown menu, click Left Eye from the list. You should see the camera feed in the preview window.
Click Ok to save the settings.
E. Open Properties of Right Eye Camera
In the Sources panel, double left-click on Camera 2 (Right Eye) to open the properties window.
F. Select Right Eye
In the Device dropdown menu, click Right Eye from the list. You should see the camera feed in the preview window.
Click Ok to save the settings.
G. Open Properties of Room Camera (Optional)
In the Sources panel, double left-click on Camera 3 (Room) to open the properties window.
Note: The room camera is normally used so the clinician can correlate the recorded eye movements with assessment positioning.
H. Select Room Camera
In the Device dropdown menu, select your room camera from the list. It is usually called either Integrated Webcam or Facetime Camera.
Note: The camera name can vary and also can include the name of the manufacturer (eg. HP Webcam). Try them all until you find the right one–you won’t break anything 🙂
I. Confirm All Cameras are linked
Congrats! Your cameras should now be all linked to OBS and will be visible in this setup scene. You can confirm that the scenes work by clicking through any of the scenes 1 through 7.
