🎥 What is an OBS Camera Mask?
An OBS camera mask is a transparent image (usually PNG) that lets you shape your webcam in OBS Studio. Instead of using the classic square or rectangle, a mask can create a **circle cam**, **diagonal cut-out**, or even stylized frames for stream overlays.
These masks make your camera look more professional and match your stream's design. Whether you're a gamer, YouTuber, or online teacher, camera masks add polish and personality to your setup.
