qdslrDashboard+OBS Studio converts my Nikon camera into webcam.

Post by hensil »

I used the qdslrDashboard Windows version + OBS Studio to convert my Nikon cameras into a webcam to use it with apps like Zoom.
The only irretation was the limit of qdslrDashboard 10 minutes Live View. I had to put the qdslr in Live View every 10 minutes.
Is there any settings to overcome this?

Check your camera settings for live view timeout.

Thanks Hubaiz,
I checked the Z6 menus. Z6 has the following
c3: Power Off Delay>Playback, Menus, Image review, and Standby timer
The Playback, Menus, Image review all three have maximum 10 mins where as Standby timer has maximum infinity which is already set in my camera.
I checked the Z6 by keeping the Live View On for more than 30 minutes. It worked fine.
So I guess the issue is somewhere else.
Regards.

Hi Hensil,

Can you tell me the settings you use in OBS to connect Qdslr? I'm trying to do this on my Macbook Air.
