For those who are currently trying to get this to work this year, you do not need to install the plugins, just install the drivers for the PS3 Eye Camera and you should be good to go, restart after installing. Then boot it up in OBS. If it doesn't work try unplugging and plugging it back into your PC. Will only work if in the device manager the warning icon for the camera has disappeared. Restart OBS and it should work. I am using it to this day but i am too ugly for camera hahaha, nevertheless, still pretty neat.
OMGG!!! Thank you so much. I wondered if i were to use my old ps3 camera rather than buying a new one. For anyone wondering it works. I have a windows 10 specifically idk if it works on anything else.
It would appear the VirtualCam plugin has been abandoned and is now out of date. Latest VCam: OBS 24; Latest OBS: OBS 28 The dev of VCam now recommends using obs-virtual-cam-filter instead for OBS 28 Note that this instead needs to be added as an effect filter for Video Capture Device
for anyone wondering, you should just download the version of obs he downloaded and itll work, 26.1. if its still black you should restart the pc and itll most likely work
You are the best man. I have seen several videos and they all recomended manycam, which is a piece of crap that used almost 40% of my CPU!. OBS works perfect, it's free and light. Thaks !!
Bro you are the best !! I was struggling to fix this for a couple of days.. after watching a video it hardly took me less than a minute to install and get it activated in my streamlabs .. thank you 🙏 this video really helped me ..
Make sure your webcam isn't being used by another program (shut down Zoom, Skype, etc.) Make sure under Sources that your PS3 Eye device is turned to "visible" (the little "eye" icon must not have a line through it). Also, I installed "Sony PS3 Web Eye - CL-Eye-Driver-5.3.0.0341-Emuline" and then "PS3EyeInstallerBeta2". The Eye webcam is now working in Zoom, and I get audio also. This is on Windows 11. No need to use OBS.
First of all, thanks for this video, it helped a lot to a certain point. But now, my obs doesn't recognize my ps3 eye camera, but cl test does. I don't know what to do? Do you have any tips?
I agree, great video! When my niece showed me her PS3 with this camera there was a program on the PS3 that could put different backgrounds without a green screen, and some swirling 3D objects that would go behind her and in front of her. I don't know what any of that was called ... - does anyone know if any of that functionality can be had on a Windows 10 streamer PC?
Thanks for taking the time and effort of making and sharing. Unfortunately this didn't work for me [2022.09.07, using Win.10.Pro(64bit). Version 21H2]. The camera is "identified" in the DeviceManager as: USB Camera-B4.09.41.1", With "Manufacturer:Nam Tai E&E Products Ltd. or OmniVision Technologies, Inc. But the camera (driver) "refused to start". It "threw" the following error for the camera in the DeviceManager: " This device cannot start. (Code 10) {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful. ... ; / So I will just have to keep looking. ((I wrote this just in case other people get the same or other problems, and a "pattern might emerge))
Hey, this happens to me sometimes when I unplug my camera and plug it back in later. The solution I've found is to re-download the driver from the link and click the "repair" option. You also have to make sure any program that uses the camera is closed and not running in the background processes, like discord. Sometimes it takes more than one "repair" but eventually it works. Hope that helps!
Your video is not helpful. Due to the fact you are not clear with how it is installed or even how to fix it when it is not working on others. It doesn't work on Meet, Zoom, or Teams. My computer doesn't even have the "Imaging Devices" section on Device Manager.
It shows up under "Imaging Devices" for me, under Windows 11. I installed both the "PS3EyeInstallerBeta2" AND "Sony PS3 Web Eye - CL-Eye-Driver-5.3.0.0341-Emuline". No need to use OBS.

Why wouldn’t it tho? The camera just uses a normal usb charger so just plug it in the pc and it should recognize in just like you plug in a ps4 controller to pc
Hi, I don't think this method allows for using the microphone I'm sorry. You could try my previous video/method which I do remember does work with the microphone, however, I can't guarantee it will work flawlessly with every program. Previous Video/Method: ua-cam.com/video/Gtne_XQ-e4g/v-deo.html (video is older and not as good sorry) Thanks for your comment.
@@m692 Hi, the video is not available anymore. I want to make the microphone work again, i know i wont be able to use the camera, but i really need the microphone and it doesnt work anymore. It is not even detected by windows now. What can i do to make it work again?
My PS3 cam was working as a mic now after the download the mic is gone. I wanted video as well as mic. I'm try to fix this if not i'm delete that driver I just downloaded.
Just shows black in OBS (v30.0.2 64bit). Video shows in Teams but no audio either. Edit: Nevermind. Video is working now after a few restarts. No sound as I don't think jkevin's drivers support it.
Try installing "Sony PS3 Web Eye - CL-Eye-Driver-5.3.0.0341-Emuline". I get audio under Windows 11. Actually both the video and audio are quite good. For the video, that's surprising, as it's supposed to be 640x480.
@@PracticaProphetica Thats the one I originally tried and couldnt get it to work. John Kevins PS3EyeInstallerBeta2 was the one I got video but no audio to work. I might try Emuline again.
Ahh the memories of just dance and PS3 eye
For some reason the VirtualCam plugin does not appear in my obs. Does the plugin work with OBS 27.1.3?
It doesnt
For those who are currently trying to get this to work this year, you do not need to install the plugins, just install the drivers for the PS3 Eye Camera and you should be good to go, restart after installing.
Then boot it up in OBS.
If it doesn't work try unplugging and plugging it back into your PC.

I am using it to this day but i am too ugly for camera hahaha, nevertheless, still pretty neat.
Thanks bro. you helped me alot
where can i install the driver?
still not working
Glad it still works as of 20/03/2022 with everything updated and you dont get a watermark from manycam. Thanks a lot man
i have follow your instructions, but my device could not detect my ps3 eye camera?
Then your camera is broke
Definitely not the best quality but works without issues in Stream labs! Thanks my dude.👍🙏
OMGG!!! Thank you so much. I wondered if i were to use my old ps3 camera rather than buying a new one. For anyone wondering it works. I have a windows 10 specifically idk if it works on anything else.
Glad it worked!
my eye toy cam shows a black screen please help or can you do a video on how to resolve these issues.
other peoples help would be apparated too
I hope they improve because the ps3 camera has a lot of potential

you're a real one for that, i wouldve never figured that out without you thanks G
It wasn't abandoned, just made an official part of the feature. No need to download it at all now.
The PS3 Eye doesn't even show up as a device and says no camera found when selected with CL-Eye test
for anyone wondering, you should just download the version of obs he downloaded and itll work, 26.1.
if its still black you should restart the pc and itll most likely work
Btw, this is the ONLY video that works, u are a life savior. Thanks so much

First of all, thanks for this video, it helped a lot to a certain point. But now, my obs doesn't recognize my ps3 eye camera, but cl test does. I don't know what to do? Do you have any tips?

Thank you so much, I swear this is the only good video to teach this
Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it. Enjoy!

i am having a problem because it is classifying its self as a speaker. how do i fix it

Hey so I downloaded the link from the description and im not seeing that "virtual cam" thing in OBS. What do I do?

when I go to tools it doesn't show virtual cam. what do I do?
Thank you for the tutorial this actually works.
works flawlessly! Thank you!

you have to go to usb attachments i found mine there

Im testing it on discord and it only shows a black screen for the cam any tips? ;-;
This mans a legend
My PS Eye CL-Eye test is working fine, but as soon as I use OBS as a virtual cam, it just stays black.
I installed "Sony PS3 Web Eye - CL-Eye-Driver-5.3.0.0341-Emuline" and then "PS3EyeInstallerBeta2". The Eye webcam is now working in Zoom, and I get audio also. This is on Windows 11. No need to use OBS.
Is it possible to connect 2 cameras?
Hey, anyone knows what to do if OBS does not have virtual cam button under tools secotion?
so do i stay on this version of obs forever?
I don't have the option of image devices
my pc isnt reading my camrea
How can I use two ps3 cameras at the same time
nope does not even work
thanks, this works awesomely
Where is the obs virtual camera file?
ITSS NOT WORKING, i dont have line in obs with name: :ps3 cam... i only have OBS-CAMERA and obs virtual camera. any of this working :(
Can you also use whatsapp?
Thank you it worked! Easy to follow tutorial :)
Glad it helped!
Hey! How do I reset the drivers?
This does not work
i confirm
It does.
Why wouldn’t it tho? The camera just uses a normal usb charger so just plug it in the pc and it should recognize in just like you plug in a ps4 controller to pc
Any chance to make the microphone work? It would make it all perfect

for me the video it captures freezes instantly
I had my doubts as I often do with these online tutorials, but by god it works
So did I, my doubt is that Windows 10 has plenty of old devices simply NOT running off it.
But it works so now I have 2 cameras!
the plugin failed to load
there is no virtual cam in tools :(
the obs plugin doesnt work
Only thing it doesn't do is what it was already doing, functioning as a microphone past that it works great

it doesn't work for me. it not detecting it as ps3 cam its just a USB camera.

This doesn't exactly help if you want to use it for face tracking and you dont want your actual face to be recorded.
