How to use Facesflip in Google Meet

Facesflip runs in your browser tab. OBS Studio (free) captures the tab and exposes it as a virtual camera that Google Meet picks up automatically — same flow Zoom/Teams/Discord users follow.

  1. 01

    Open the Facesflip swap

    Sign in at facesflip.com, grant webcam access, pick a face, and confirm your filtered video is streaming in the tab.

  2. 02

    Install OBS Studio

    Download from obsproject.com — free, open-source, available for macOS / Windows / Linux. ~60-second install, no admin password needed on most consumer machines.

  3. 03

    Window Capture the Facesflip tab in OBS

    In OBS: Sources + → Window Capture → pick the browser window with the Facesflip tab. Crop to the video panel so Meet sees a clean square without browser chrome.

  4. 04

    Start OBS Virtual Camera

    Bottom-right of OBS → "Start Virtual Camera". This exposes your filtered feed as a system camera device.

  5. 05

    Pick OBS Virtual Camera in Google Meet

    In Google Meet, click the gear icon at the top of any meeting (or before joining) → Video → Camera → select "OBS Virtual Camera". The preview updates to your swapped face; other participants see the filtered video as a regular webcam feed.

    TipIf "OBS Virtual Camera" does not appear, fully restart your browser (not just the Meet tab). Browsers cache the camera device list at startup; new virtual cameras need a relaunch to register.

Frequently asked

Does Google Meet for Workspace (corporate accounts) support this?

Google Meet can use cameras exposed to the browser, including OBS Virtual Camera. Managed browser, device, or organization policies may still restrict camera permission or the software you can install, so confirm with your administrator when needed.

Will the other participants see a "captured" or stretched image?

No, if you crop the OBS Window Capture to just the video panel. They see a normal webcam feed at the resolution your real webcam is set to.

Does this work on Chromebook?

Not as a supported meeting-camera route. Opening the swap in a Chromebook tab can show your own preview, but it does not publish that swapped image as Google Meet's camera. Use a supported macOS, Windows, or Linux desktop setup instead.
