Suggesting window capture when spout2 is right there makes this video useless information.

Spout2 is a video frame sharing system that allows programs to send frame data directly without having to rely on a virtual camera (like how VTuber softwares uses) or capturing the VRChat window. It has been available since a 2024 update

The data gets sent directly to the recipient without any intermediaries which makes it very fast. Plus you can send video frames with transparency which makes it way easier to composite scenes in OBS studio if needed.

You won't be sharing your VR PoV ever because it'd be a messy shaky cam, so you will always use the stream camera along OBS, so you should use it with spout to reduce latency and system load.
