"The virtual camera is not installed" ???? Why

Found the solution, pics attached below.

Go to System Settings > General > Login Items and Extensions

You should see a camera extensions popup with OBS toggled off. Turn that ON. ✌

Hi, i have this issue. I can't put again the background on my camera. I want to use my iPhone as a webcam but it cuts the background too. now I don't know what to do.

This is a year into this now. I been reading up on people having issues with OBS actually virtual displaying what your streaming onto Spelltable and it's not working.

I'm having this issue as well, but reading through everything I'm not super tech savvy so everything I'm seeing I'm not sure if it's saying it's OBS related or it's in my Chrome settings. Most of the images being shown I have nothing like that.

So most of the people having their issues fixed so Spelltable actually virtual streams what's being shown on OBS. How do you fix that?

Currently OBS is picking up Moxfield, but it won't virtual stream on spelltable even though I have them both on vitual stream and hardware acceleration is turned off.

I'm sort of lost on this. Is this explaining OBS or Google Chrome? On OBS if I go to settings than General there is nothing that mentions "Login Items and extensions"

I'm also not seeing OBS blocked:

is there a step-by-step workaround?

Where are people seeing this image? Is this on Google chrome or OBS?

OK. I've solved it too...
And here's how.
On the Privacy & Security section of the system settings, if you scroll down, you see a section called Security.
Because OBS needed extra permissions to what it already had, a button appeared called 'Details' in that Security section. By clicking on that 'Details' button you can see any apps that are blocked, which included OBS. Enabling OBS there then allowed the virtual camera to work as a webcam in Zoom. All up and running, and ready to broadcast!
I restarted OBS but am not sure if I needed to.

Hope this helps others who couldn't find the settings for the same issue which gave the message:
"The virtual camera is not installed.
Please allow OBS to install system software in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Security.
You may need to restart OBS if this message still appears afterward."

So in Google Chrome I go to Settings than Privacy Security then hit Security. I'm not seeing anything with "Details" and this is where I hit a dead end.
