I ran into problems now. It worked for me but since 2 weeks it is all black. Even with the new update. I can nit get it to work. Just black screen no matter what settings I make.

Personally the best free background remover for Mac available
Since I've been using Linux, I've been searching for a stable plugin to do some background removal in OBS. The royshil plugin, once compiled myself, did wonders using the GPU accelerated option, but at each update, either from OBS, the CUDA drivers, or the Nvidia ones, I had to recompile the plugin myself. It was a hurdle, especially as I'm using a rolling release distro.

So I gave this plugin a try, and it really delivers! It simply works without being a resource hog, and the settings are simple enough to still be able to fiddle with it to my liking. I'd give it 5 stars when I'll be able to have a sharp mask, for now it's always a bit blurry on the edges, even with the advanced parameters tweaked.

Thank you for rating! We keep updating our plugin!
Umireon and his team worked tirelessly for many weeks to get this working on my Mac. It wouldn't even load at first then black screen. Now it works great! They did a great job! Thanks to ALL!

Yay ty!
This is a fantastic virtual background removal option! Very lightweight and configurable, and the options to prevent aggressive flicker are the best I've seen outside of nvidia broadcast which is just WAY too heavy to use
