Change virtual camera still image?

Is it possible to change the still image displayed when the virtual camera is off?


Instead of the OBS logo and blue background, I'd like a personalized one.

Running OBS 26.1.1 x64 on W10.

Thank you for your attention.

Found this related thread in Mac Support:

So, on Windows, it's in "%ProgramFiles%\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\win-dshow\placeholder.png".

Replace the placeholder.png by another image, and restart OBS.

I haven't guessed the rules for image restrictions, but it seems there are, because depending on which picture I place there it will work or crash OBS.

Anyway, it's a start...
