What is the biggest problem with background removal in OBS today?
I’m building ProMatte, a free, GPL-licensed OBS filter for removing, blurring, or replacing webcam backgrounds locally.
I started it because existing options can require an RTX GPU, a subscription, a green screen, or cloud processing. ProMatte runs on the user’s own machine with no account, telemetry, or uploaded camera frames.
I’m especially interested in hearing from OBS users:
What do you currently use for background removal?
Is performance, edge quality, hardware support, or setup the biggest issue?
Do you prefer transparent backgrounds, blur, or replacement backgrounds?
What would make you trust a local AI video tool?
I built and tested it on a 2017 laptop with a GeForce 940MX, so slower-hardware support is a major focus.
I’m the maker of ProMatte and would value honest criticism, including reasons you would not use it.
