How to use Facesflip in Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams supports any OS-level virtual camera, including OBS Virtual Camera. Facesflip runs in your browser; OBS captures the tab and exposes it as the camera Teams sees. Works in enterprise tenants where you cannot install Teams add-ins.

  1. 01

    Open the Facesflip swap in your browser

    Sign in at facesflip.com, grant webcam access, pick a target face. Confirm the swapped video is rendering in the tab.

  2. 02

    Install OBS Studio (free)

    Download OBS Studio from obsproject.com. OBS is separate from Teams and creates a system-wide virtual camera device. Managed devices may require administrator approval to install OBS or enable a virtual camera.

  3. 03

    Add a Window Capture source for the Facesflip tab

    OBS → + under Sources → Window Capture → pick your browser window with the Facesflip tab. Crop the OBS preview to just the video panel.

  4. 04

    Start OBS Virtual Camera

    OBS bottom-right → "Start Virtual Camera". The virtual camera device "OBS Virtual Camera" now exists at the OS level.

  5. 05

    Pick OBS Virtual Camera in Teams

    In Teams: click your profile picture → Settings → Devices → Camera dropdown → select "OBS Virtual Camera". Or before joining any call: pre-join device check → Camera → "OBS Virtual Camera". Preview updates to your swapped face.

    TipIn Teams for Web (browser Teams), the same dropdown is in the pre-join camera test. Behavior is identical.

Frequently asked

My company restricts Teams apps and add-ins. Will this still work?

Facesflip and OBS are not Teams add-ins, but managed device policies can still restrict browser access, software installation, or virtual cameras. Confirm that your organization permits OBS before relying on this fallback.

Does this work in Teams desktop and Teams for web?

Both clients can list cameras exposed by the operating system or browser. If OBS Virtual Camera is missing, fully restart the client and confirm that device and organization policy allows virtual cameras.

Does it work on Teams mobile (iOS / Android)?

No — mobile Teams uses the device camera directly; OBS Virtual Camera is a desktop OS concept. Facesflip requires a desktop or laptop computer with OBS installed.
