   Download it from the plugin releases on GitHub, then:

   • Windows: download the Windows binaries and copy omtplugin.dll and libvmx.dll into C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins\omtplugin\bin\64bit. Create the folder if it does not exist.
   • macOS: download the macOS .pkg and install it.
   • Linux: the plugin has to be built from source. Follow the Linux instructions in the README.

2. Start streaming from OMTake

   Put the iPhone on the same local network as the OBS computer. Open OMTake, allow Camera, Microphone and Local Network access, and tap the red button.

3. Add an OMT Source in OBS

   In OBS, add a new OMT Source and select the iPhone running OMTake.

For anything else about the plugin (other drives, Linux builds, updates), see the official OMT plugin README.

vMix-only features

The video and audio stream is plain OMT, so it is the same in OBS and in vMix. Tally (the green / red border and the rear torch) is available in vMix only.
