Sample Streams
Sample Streams is a virtual camera plugin for macOS that integrates with the CoreMediaIO framework. It enables video conferencing applications, streaming software, and other macOS apps to use Vidyo's video streams as a camera source, allowing users to share custom video content during calls and streams. The plugin sits at the system level and is managed through the host system's CoreMediaIO camera architecture rather than as a standalone application.

1 suggestionSample Streams is a virtual camera plugin (CoreMediaIO helper) bundled with Vidyo software, not a standalone app. It is updated as part of its parent Vidyo product — simply updating the main Vidyo application to its latest version will automatically update this component. Check Vidyo's website or your Vidyo application's Help menu for update instructions; the vendor should ship a native Apple Silicon build of the entire Vidyo suite, including this plugin component. If you have not updated your Vidyo installation in some time, download the latest version from Vidyo's official download page. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to confirm that your Vidyo installation is on a native build — if your Vidyo software is Intel-only and no native version is available from the vendor by mid-2028, you will need to consider alternative video conferencing or streaming solutions that support Apple Silicon.
