Facerig not working with any software

[LyteSpawn]

So I bought Facerig yesterday, and after installing it and setting everything up, I realize it doesn't work with any of the apps I'm using, including Discord, Omegle, or a bunch of webcam testers I've tried through Firefox. Discord and Omegle just show me a black screen whenever I switch to the Facerig or Animaze virtual cameras, and the webcam test sites just give me an error.

I've tried installing and uninstalling all drivers in the prerequisites folder, and restarting my PC. Now I'm out of options.

Help?

EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention that I'm using my Android phone's camera, though DroidCam, if that helps any.

I've only ever used Windows for this, and I think OBS is required or what you want to do

Have you turned on the Broadcast option in FaceRig? Click on the last button on the upper bar of the UI (the UI+ button), then click on the 4th button on the upper bar of the UI as you count from left to right. That is what comes to mind at first when I hear that a black screen is shown when you select any of the virtual cameras.

Yeah, I kept turning on and off the broadcast function, and nothing happened.
