In OBS you can add a Window Capture and select your Zoom meeting. I’m not a fan of the layout of fullscreen zoom calls, and I prefer the flexibility of capturing it as a window, which also makes it possible to do this with a single monitor. Note: I was on a Zoom between two machines and only one camera, so pretend Not Paul is a very handsome gentleman. If you have multiple monitors you can dedicate one of them to Zoom and add a Display Capture source in OBS for that whole display and set zoom to fullscreen on that monitor.

Unfortunately trying to share a screen and audio through multiple systems is complicated and isn’t possible straight out of the box and we need to solve a few problems: Having even just a few people acting as an audience and being able to talk to them and have them talk back and see their body language and reactions makes all the difference. However it feels more like a webinar than it does a meetup or conference presentation as the interaction is very one way.īy hooking up Zoom and OBS bidirectionally you can have the reach of a streaming platform at the same time as the more interative nature of having real live people in the (virtual) room with you. Using OBS its fairly simple to record and broadcast a presentation, or live coding session. It should come as no surprise that streaming high quality video from multiple sources can be quite taxing and it often makes sense to have OBS running on a separate computer (refurbished Dell desktops are perfect for this) with a video capture device (like an Elgato HD60) capturing video from your primary machine. OBS can record to a high definition video file on your local machine as well as broadcast it out to Twitch, YouTube, or any other RTSP capable platform. The most basic use case for OBS is to provide the ability to display onscreen code or a terminal session with a webcam image overlayed in the corner Many of us are turning to Open Broadcaster Studio (OBS) to turn our PCs into virtual production studios capable of composing multiple artifacts such as windows, audio, and webcams into layered streams. Many of us have been reaching for tools like Zoom for smaller groups such as Meetups and streaming platforms like Twitch / YouTube Live for reaching larger groups.
Recent world events (COVID-19) has completely turned the Developer Advocacy role on its head and many of us are scrambling to find new ways to effectively reach audiences remotely.
