Skype doesn't take V4l2 cam from OBS

Hi friends,

I'm trying to setup a online-teaching system on Arch for my daily sessions. I use OBS-Studio for managing the scenes and stuffs. And I would like to use a kind of virtual cam (OBS output) as a webcam in Skype. For that I have installed v4l2loopback-dkms package from AUR, and v4l2sink. I have successfully setup and have the virtual cam running. I can make sure that it works as I can view the virtual cam on VLC and other app. However, when I open Skype, under the cam settings, I can see an item for the virtual cam, but it's all black, no signal.

I just wonder if any of you have the problem and do you have any solution for that.

Thank you very much for your time.

Thang

What I have tried is also install v4l2loopback-dkms-git and skypeforlinux-preview-bin. But it doesn't fix the issue.
