I use Genymotion Desktop and am looking for alternatives.
Alternatives to Genymotion Desktop for using OBS Virtual Camera; can I use OBS Virtual Camera with Genymotion SaaS; recommended workarounds and alternatives for virtual camera support
❌ NO. Genymotion Desktop does not support virtual/loop cameras like OBS Virtual Camera due to incompatibility with the Genymotion camera API. ✅ ALTERNATIVE: Use Genymotion SaaS with OBS Virtual Camera in the browser and set the output resolution in OBS to 1280x720, or use a physical UVC-compatible webcam with Genymotion Desktop.
Details and steps:
- Genymotion Desktop: virtual webcams are not recommended and are not officially supported; the webcam must be UVC-compatible for it to work in the desktop player. See: My webcam does not work with Genymotion Desktop.
- Genymotion SaaS + OBS: Start OBS Virtual Camera, set the Output (Scaled) Resolution in OBS under Settings > Video to 1280x720, then open your browser and select the OBS Virtual Camera as a website camera; afterwards, the OBS camera will work in the Genymotion SaaS Camera widget. See: Can I use OBS Studio Virtual Camera with Genymotion SaaS? and the desktop incompatibility info: Can I use OBS virtual camera with Genymotion Desktop?
Would you like a short step-by-step guide to setting up OBS+Genymotion SaaS or would you prefer a recommendation for a UVC webcam?
