Hey there,

I've been using DroidCam with OBS for video calls, and it's been great... except when I use it with WhatsApp. The video feed on WhatsApp is tiny and has black bars around it, not filling the screen at all. But here's the thing - when I use other video call apps, everything looks normal and fills the screen just fine.

Any ideas why this might be happening only with WhatsApp? Anyone else experienced this and found a fix?

I'd really appreciate any tips or advice you can share.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi, The black bars appear when the aspect-ratio of the video does not match between OBS and WhatsApp. You would need to change the video size either in WhatsApp or in OBS (they should both be 4:3 (usually for SD) or 16:9 (usually for HD) . Please feel free to post a screenshot under the Discussion tab for a more clear description.
An absolutely fantastic tool that no other can hold a candle to. Everything has been working again since the last update. All other tools (e.g. SplitCam) have never been so stable.
works, it's a lifesaver if you want to use Whatsapp Desktop. Thanks!
As I'm using Downstream keyer, this plugin made it all possible. Thanks for creating it!
