💡If CPU usage is high, please try changing the interface device under the background removal settings to GPU.

Thank you for using my plugin! I'm glad you found it useful and shared it with your viewers ❤

[Umeko]

Thank you so much! Just a note for other newbies like me: if you install the Background remover plugin and cannot find it under Audio and Video Filters, you can find it under "Effect Filters"

[Davi]

Is not posible anuymore to change the color of the background or am I wrong?

[ocean]

I copy and pasted the background remover files in the obs folder but it only shows up under effects not audio/video. what am i doing wrong?

[scottpowell]

Question: Background Removal is NOT available in A/V filters, but is available in "Effects Filters". Has this simply been moved to another area? It still seems to operate the same as you mention, although I don't seem to have any options for greenscreen/etc.

[D.Corridors]

The tutorial is helpful but its not showing me Beckround removal option?

[Darkabyss]

Man whenever I look for tutorials I usually have to go through like 5 of them just to get a halfway decent one, but man you're the first one I found when looking into this and you made it very concise and easy to follow, thanks a bunch!

[DooooPerrrrrr]

actually instead of going in audio video filter it went in effect filter where its not showing the bg color option

[FJamesPrice]

For those commenting about the option to insert a background color being gone, the plugin now uses transparency, which will allow you to insert any picture or other media into your scene behind your webcam image. I assume this is more efficient than chroma key, but either way this works fine.

idk why people dont check out to the point videos like this
only 2800 views u deserve more

I got frustrated a couple of times but your voice is so calm I made it through it

[Vidgamechx]

I redid this SEVERAL times and it always ended up under the EFFECT FILTERS. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I even removed my webcam completely. I was not able to change the background color either. Everything worked fine otherwise, but I am not sure if its just because i'm using OBS29.3.1or not. Any thoughts?

[Nihonimode]

I followed the step, but is the "background removal" not showing? Please help.

[Aaronerer]

This has been the only way i've found to remove backgrounds without having to pay to also remove the software's watermark, thanks!

[asestrand]

All is so useful. But why is missing Background removal from Filters in my OBS? Thanks!

[bigbuffcheatopuff]

backround removal isnt showing up in filters. Any help is much appreciated. I followed the entire video AND description to a T

[ryujidacillo]

I DID THE STEP BUT I DONT SEE ANY BACKGROUND REMOVAL ON THE FILTERS

[locoloscollection]

So i downloaded the background removal but it shows up in the effect filter and not the audio/video filter.
What did i do wrong?

[Souleutions]

The setting to change the background color is missing.
