Help with stream camera Desktop

Help!
1

I got the option to stream through the VRChat camera on my computer without the VR headset
Although when I opened OBS Studio, I set the game window option, set the window to match the game and then in the game I selected Stream Camera then nothing appeared, just like the image I just uploaded, I would like some help on how to solve this or if this can be solved in a patch, I would like to be able to use this option in my content now.
Thank you for your attention

you have to use the SPOUT-OBS plug-in to make use of the new SPOUT Stream Camera Feature on desktop.

its all outlined in the dev logs

There have been a lot of requests to improve the camera… again! So we did!

  • A Focus Overlay has been added!
    • The focus menu now has a toggle to enable an overlay to help vizualize the camera’s focus.
  • Portrait Orientation!
    • It’s sideways now.
    • This mode is especially useful with Camera Flight!
    • On Desktop, a new button has been added to switch between landscape and portrait modes.
    • In other news, if you hear screaming in the distance, it’s the handful of millennial VRChat staff members crying out that the war against people recording videos in portrait mode has been lost. Send your sympathies, please.
  • Desktop Stream Mode
    • Stream mode is now supported on Desktop via Spout, a protocol for sharing real-time video.
    • While the camera is in Stream Mode, applications that can receive Spout streams will be able to receive the camera view.

  • Hey, camera changes – as is the case with the Chatbox changes, you may see some information duplicated here from the New Features section.
    • The focus menu now has a toggle to enable an overlay that helps visualize the camera’s focus.
    • Portrait orientation has been added!
      • Camera UI buttons are adjusted to always be upright as the camera switches orientation.
      • On Desktop, a new button has been added to switch between modes.
    • Split “Auto Level” on the handheld camera into “Roll” and “Pitch” to allow for more control over how the camera is leveling.
      • When “Auto Level Roll” is enabled, the camera snaps to the nearest 90 degree angle as you roll it over.
      • When “Auto Level Pitch” is enabled, the camera snaps to always face towards the horizon.
      • You can enable both of these options at once if you like.
    • Desktop stream mode!
      • Stream mode is now supported on Desktop via Spout, an application for sharing real-time video.
      • While the camera is in Stream Mode on PC, applications that can receive Spout streams will be able to receive the camera view.
      • For example, OBS supports this via a Spout plugin: Install the plugin, Open OBS, Create a new Spout2 Capture source, and you should be able see the VRC camera while in Stream Mode.
      • While streaming, the camera can be closed and the Spout stream will remain active. This way, Desktop users will be able to stream without having the camera stuck in the middle of their screen.
      • While streaming with the camera closed, the lens should always be visible unless explicitly hidden by setting Lens Visibility to None. Others should continue to see the lens indicator whenever Spout is active.

The whole point of spout is to have a different way to get a view out of VRChat separate from the desktop view.

I like that I can now capture both the first person view and the camera

One thing that did change from the open beta, is the option to turn on in the camera is labeled something like “spout stream”, you can also set a resolution for the spout stream
