I have the same pb; quality is very bad

It seems on the web forums that OBS virtual cam is hardly fixed to 1280x720

The best way was to have a 2nd monitor displaying the video output and share this screen in Teams instead of using virtual camera. The downside is that the framerate drops but the quality of fonts and details is better.

  erimo Do you even see an ODS window to share from Teams? I used to see an ECAMM Sharing window in Teams that was built for Zoom. It looks like I'm back to sharing a monitor (application, not display)

  erimo this is our solution. If you don`t want to use an extra monitor you can use an HDMI to VGA adapter as an fake monitor 😉

    Nat_from_LSL MS response to our problem was to remove the use of a virtual camera from Teams completely. Its almost a year later and still MS is silent on when (if ever) they intend to re introduce the capability.
