Background removal without a green screen, running locally.

Install

Any distro

flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.BackgroundRemoval

A filter that removes or blurs your webcam background without a physical green screen. It runs a segmentation model locally, so nothing leaves your machine.

It costs CPU or GPU time on every frame, which matters when you are already encoding. If frame times suffer, lowering the webcam resolution helps more than changing the model.
