Click + at the bottom of the Scene pane (bottom far left), enter the scene name and click OK.(please excuse the messy Sunday me, in the images) I started with one called Just Me which was only the webcam and this is the basis of my other scenes. With the software ready to go you can add your first scene. Lastly, I suggest working in Studio Mode, so you only have one screen to work with. Download and install OBS Virtual Cam from Go to Download button is towards the top right of the page.I cancelled the auto set up and have the settings shown below, with everything else left as default. However if you don’t have a preferred live streaming service to log in to, you cant complete the wizard. The instructions suggest you run a wizard. Excuse the mess – this is my set up The How – Set Up Install and Configure OBS My set up is a Surface Book with external monitor, Blue Yeti Microphone with a foam windscreen, a standard set of in ear headphones, Logitech C270 webcam, perched on top of my monitor and a freestanding greenscreen, plus OBS Studio and OBS Virtual Cam and Microsoft Teams (of course).

Haven’t got as far a video backdrops yet, but that offers a whole host of other opportunities too. You do need the Virtual Cam plug in.Īfter getting started with the tools, I quickly realised I could bring more visual interest into my training, combining my video image with a presentation or screenshare including reducing the size of the video image for more efficient combinations. Turns out it was a proper mixing studio/external encoder/virtual camera and on a variety of advice I went for OBS Studio and OBS Virtual Cam.

So decided I need a green screen to improve the effect, but to get the effect I was after I need something more. The WhyĪfter eagerly awaiting the background effect in Microsoft teams, I was a little disappointed in the fuzzy edge effect, especially when adding custom images (see for how to). In this blog, I’ll be sharing how I got up and running using a green screen, OBS Studio and Microsoft Teams to give a more professional video in training sessions.Ĭredits first – thanks to for his session at TeamsFest from which you can see here and for his advice.Īnd now the disclaimer – I’m new to OBS, so any suggestions, corrections or top tips you may are gratefully received in the comments or contact me on Twitter or LinkedIn.
