On the main screen, we can see the camera placed on top of the streaming. That said, let’s continue with the steps. In the next window, we can configure the camera, as well as its resolution. From here on, it will be left to configure it to your liking, we end in “accept” and that’s it. It is important to remember that from now on you must have the camera connected to the computer and configured correctly. This includes the corresponding drivers for use on your computer. You can also record your computer screen with OBS Studio.

I’ll come back to that in the next post.The first thing you should do is run your OBS studies and have it configured for live transmission, then in the “Sources” section, click on the plus symbol (+). Options will be displayed, we must select “Video Capture”.Īutomatically a sale will be displayed where the first option is to assign a name to the source. We put the name we want and then click on the “OK” button. I already experimented with using a half-width PowerPoint presentation, so you only use half of the screen.

So, am I satisfied? Nah, the text overlaying the eyes is just too distracting to me. In the final step, you just need to select a second monitor as output in OBS and use this second monitor as input for your conferencing software like zoom, meets, or teams. Watch this last video entirely for all the sources options available in OBS. To add the Powerpoint overlay, set Powerpoint to windowed mode and window capture this window in OBS. In OBS you need to set the webcam layer’s opacity to 40% by applying a a color key filter, and you will get a more transparent image.

The three essential layers needed are, of course, the webcam middle layer, a white image background layer, and the presentation layer, which is a PowerPoint with a chroma-key (green) background ( Download Template). For this, I used the opensource open broadcast software called OBS studio. To create this effect, I stacked some video layers and applied some chroma-keying to make it all look smooth. Apart from the 200 attendees and now almost a hundred views on YouTube, I also received many questions on how I created the presentation overlay as can be seen in the video below. So, the webinar on distance assessment was received quite well.
