 A warm welcome to everyone who has joined us and I assume others will be joining us very soon. My name is Kajtan Pareto and I'm glad you're here today because we are going to cover OBS for beginners. Please note that this event is being streamed live on YouTube so if you want to check it out later on you can do that by using the link available on top. So let me start. First of all as ground rules I have kept the microphone muted but please feel free to engage in this discussion. First of all by keeping your videos on if possible, putting your queries in chat and I will try to address as many of them as I can and you can also use your raise hand icon next to your name but queries in chat in my opinion is the best way to go. Since you are sitting in your own home I don't have to tell you about the safety protocols but do keep safety in your mind as you attend this session. What I am going to cover today in the next 60 minutes that we have is what is OBS studio, what is virtual camera, how we can create scenes and the whole objective is to create exactly what you are seeing in front of you to create a presentation that is impactful and that connects with the audience. Before I start the session itself I thought I will start with a small inspirational story and this happened recently when one of our members from the WhatsApp group decided that she wants to use OBS just by watching my YouTube videos and she diligently followed my videos and spent the time required to learn OBS and then went to her club and presented a speech using OBS and needless to say I was very impressed so I wanted her to come today before we start the session just to give you an idea what everyone can do as long as they invest that little amount of time required to sort of go over the learning curve of OBS. I wanted to introduce her but why not let her introduce herself using OBS. Yes, Namrata, over to you. Yes, sir. Thank you, Distinguished Toastmaster Kedgetan sir. Good evening fellow Toastmasters. Your camera is not on I guess. You have not started the virtual camera. Yeah, there you go. Okay, thank you sir. Thank you Distinguished Toastmaster Kedgetan sir once again. Good evening fellow Toastmasters. This is my first experience and I would like to share my experience with you all. I have used some scenes I have prepared it as per the guidelines as directed by our sir the Distinguished Toastmaster Kedgetan. I'll start with this scene. This is an introduction part which you can see and make out that I have no technical background from there that I am a master's in commerce bachelor in education worked in worked in Birla Public School for four years as a teacher and I joined Doha Toastmasters Club in 2019 and now recently also I've joined Marathi Toastmasters so there is no technical background and I made use of this scene by texting and the time as per the sir's guidelines as he has directed in the link. The second scene which I made for my speech is with the PPT presentation and this is my PPT which I again prepared with the guideline as directed by Distinguished Toastmaster Kedgetan and he has shared the link in our OBSC group. Then I'll just show my slides. These are the slides which I use for my speech project level one. The topic was on the vegetarian and non-vegetarian as I have shared it in the group also and my experience at present is that I would like to share my real experience that I first downloaded in this OBSC studio two months ago but it was difficult to understand I and I uninstalled it but as I mean this OBSC studio group the messages was that kept on coming inspired and motivated me and I installed it again and I decided to experimented with my level one project which I just introduced now. I invested my time almost a day following each and every step. I was truly not understanding but I tried and tried but that whole day I really put my efforts and I really was happy after that. I planned my speech with the VPE of Toastmaster Atul Hardaas of the Watoastmasters Club and I practiced and rehearsed with my Zoom account and asked my daughter to help me out with this. The day that is on 5th of December the day where I was going to present the speech in morning I saw the message from Distinguished Toastmaster Kajetan in the group. He said that one to one training session will be given to clear any doubt so I immediately replied to that message and that session was truly helpful and along with me I think so two and four other members have also joined the group and I cleared all my doubts and that evening I presented my speech standing with no glitches or something. I was really confident after the session with the Distinguished Toastmaster Kajetan and later after the meeting was over everyone appreciated it. I shared this link of OBS studio in WhatsApp link in my Toastmasters Club group and I would like to say I invested my time fruitfully and for that I really thank from my heart Distinguished Toastmaster Kajetan once again for making me acquainted with this new knowledge in the tech world and I also like to take this opportunity thanks to give me this opportunity to share my experience with you all so over to you sir thanks again. Thank you Namrata for that sharing your experience and that is actually for me also is very inspirational that somebody could spend as she said one day and then she got it you know one day she got it and how do I know she got it I just told her can you come online and present yourself and she did it you know and in my opinion many of us take the easy route you know we are already inundated we already have complexity with Zoom and we take the comfort route of okay I have to give a presentation let me just use the share screen and share screen itself is such a disadvantage to you especially if you want to make an impact and please note that if you are giving normal speeches if you are giving some short speeches and if you just want to share one or two slides fine by all means use Zoom no problem and the facility is available in Zoom but here in this group that I have created I am looking for people who want to go one step beyond who want to become trainers who want to become inspirational speakers and then they need to be in the scene all the time you can't do that if you are sharing so that's where OBS studio comes in that's where we will I will show you today I won't make you an expert in OBS but hopefully I will give you that inspiration that Namrata got and then she spent one day and she got it and to explain this concept of what I am doing now so for example if I wanted to shift let's say I wanted to show you all a training let's say I am a club officer's trainer and I wanted to give you a training on base camp so imagine that I could simply click a button and I could be giving you taking you to Toastmasters international website showing you what the site looks like show you why I am there in the scene and the cool thing about it is of course I can make myself big or I can make myself small and all this is done in real time something very difficult to do or almost impossible to do using Zoom what if I want to illustrate something I could do that and and something not really possible to do with Zoom right so I could set up a scene where I am there as part of the screen and notice how I keep changing the size of my camera depending upon the requirement of the scene really you are like a director when you are using OBS or if I wanted to for example show you a scene where I am diving and I want to show you the experience you see I could combine a video along with my picture and then explain so the the possibilities become endless this is what I am trying to say if as long as you want to jump beyond screen sharing beyond virtual backgrounds that are available in Zoom you want to take your presentation to the next level then you are in the right place so to really understand how to use Zoom I want to explain to you the concept first so let me open up my power point open up my scene and what I want to show you is how what is actually the many of you are maybe new to OBS so I want to explain to you the concept of the OBS itself what is OBS how does it work now normally when you attend a meeting when you attend an online meeting what happens is you will let's say this is you or you can say this is me by the way I'm not one of the best artists in the world as you can see but that's me or that's you when you attend an online meeting handsome I don't know and then you have your web camera okay and it has a lens and it can see depending upon how far the camera is to you it will see in this case it can see part of my body and that's what is going into zoom right so you have zoom here so zoom can see your camera and that is what will then go to all the audience who's out there right so that's you audience so this is how normally things work in zoom zoom will take the image that it can see from the camera it will capture it and it will show it to the audience of course zoom has introduced a number of features one of the features which most of you are probably used to is first of all the virtual background right so it can take the image from your camera add a virtual background and then show that to the audience and it can be quite useful because many of us use virtual background to show a particular theme in a meeting so that's helpful but it has its limitations and recently about two months ago zoom introduced something called power point as virtual background and some of you might have tried that also is there anybody in the audience who has tried power point as virtual background and can you share your experience with that namrata have you okay namrata has used great and anybody else because namrata is already a obs so i i don't think she'll be using it much now but yeah so that's that's what we mean by power point as virtual background i can demonstrate to you if i have time but it is good but it doesn't give you the flexibility that obs does so what actually does obs do so first of all what we are going to do is we are going to sorry in a second we are going to disconnect zoom from the camera which means zoom once you start using obs you will not be able to use camera directly from zoom instead instead what we are going to do is we are going to take this camera and we are going to put it in this software called obs obs by the way stands for open broadcast software it's a completely free software created by volunteers and they keep updating the software and the good news recently is in fact today itself they have updated it so that now it supports apple products also if you so if you have a mac you can now use the virtual camera and the other good news is recently they were sponsored by youtube so youtube is now supporting them as a software because it's free so somebody has to pay for the people working on obs so now youtube among many other big companies support the software so that's what obs does and from there whatever camera it captures you can add and today that's what we are going to do we are going to create with the software scenes and scenes is nothing but a combination of your camera plus anything else that you want so what you are seeing in front of you right now is a scene because it's made up of my camera that I captured in obs and I added another window the paint those who use windows use something called paint to draw pictures so I've combined these two things together to create this scene and once the scene is created what it does is it converts it has the ability to create what we call a virtual camera so we have virtual camera and as far as the computer is concerned it thinks there is a camera it's not there is no physical camera but obs sort of using its software creates a virtual camera and then what we can do with this virtual camera is we can tell zoom use this virtual camera okay so as far as zoom is concerned it sees a camera it doesn't exist of course it is called a obs camera it's not a physical camera that you have connected to your computer but it's a virtual camera created through software using the steps of downloading obs then creating the scene and then saying I have a virtual camera and that's what zoom sees now and that's what you are seeing right now because I created a virtual camera with obs with the scene this is also a scene where I created where I uploaded a video clip and I put it in the background then I put my camera picture then I said this is a scene show it to the audience when I create a camera with a browser so what I did is I opened the window a browser window and I said that's one window on top of that place my camera that's a scene so I can create n number of scenes that I want to project to the audience and it's all with a click of a button right so if you want to do something like this this workshop in the next 40 minutes I'm going to show you the steps that you can do to achieve this kind of presentation this kind of impactful presentation so to do that I will share my screen to show you how you can set up obs okay so this is the obs screen and also I want to show you so this is the website from where you will download if you'll have not already downloaded this is the site where you'll go and download the software whether it's for the windows whether it's for mac you just click on the button and it will download the software for you and installing is something that you will have to do and I have many people have messaged me during the installation process if they had some difficulty and that is something you will have to do by yourself uh click on the button if you are using windows click windows then download the software then click on the button and it will install the software on your pc so that is the part that you'll have to do by yourself I'm not going to run the installation because it's like any other program that you install on your computer it's available on this website called obsproject.com download it and once you have downloaded the software you will get something like this and this is what I'm going to show you when you open obs you should be able to see something like this which shows you a big screen in the middle and on the left on there are three layers here called scenes sources and we'll come to the audio mixer afterwards but really what we need to focus today is the scenes how we can create different scenes okay and once we have created the scenes so in this case I have one two three four five scenes and that's what I was showing you I was showing you this scene I was showing you this scene browser scene and so forth so this way all the scenes are created so let's create one scene and then once the scene is created and once I have defined what that scene should be made up of all I have to do is I have to say start the virtual camera and once I start the virtual camera then in zoom it instead of using a normal web camera you will use this obs virtual camera and you are done okay so let's start by saying what is a scene a scene is created by clicking the plus sign and so what I'm going to do is I'm going to create a scene with something that is most commonly used which is a camera with a power point presentation all right so I will click on the scene plus and you can give a name to it so you can quickly switch between one scene and the other scene so let me call it camera with power point so that's the name I will give to the scene so I know that when I click on this scene right now it's blank you can't see me also all you can see is a blank screen don't worry you will see me eventually in fact let's add my picture first to the scene the camera remember obs is capturing the camera not zoom so I click on the sources next to the scene so I have camera with power point scene but then I have to decide what are the scenes what are the sources that will go in the scene so the first source I want is my camera so I will click on the plus sign here and we get a lot of options to make a scene as I said you are a director you can decide what goes inside your scene so let me first add my camera so that's called the video capture device video capture device is your web camera click on that and I have already used the camera before so I can click add the existing camera that was available in my previous scenes if not I would have to create new if I was doing it for the first time but since I have already linked the camera I can say use my camera and there you can see me in the scene you will notice something different from this camera and this one right because here you are seeing the camera as it is with some background and this black area what I want to do is I want to remove that extra area I don't want to show you the area which is on the right hand side here and so what I will do is and that's the good thing about obs unlike zoom you cannot control how much of the camera you want to see but here I can do that I can click on the alt button and when I click on the alt button I can crop my video to show only the part that I want let's say I don't want from this side also so we can use the alt key and then move this arrow keys to only select the part of the camera that I want and once you select the frame from the camera that was captured how much of that you want of course you can make it big and small by moving like how we normally do you can make it big or small but it will remain the same dimensions that I had cropped it will keep those dimensions so you have my camera first I can move it anywhere I want and the next thing I want to do is I want to show a PowerPoint presentation in this scene and to do that what you need to do is you need to first of all what you need to do is you need to find your PowerPoint wherever it is so let's say I have a PowerPoint in so I have a PowerPoint here in this folder in my D drive in the folder called Toastmasters and so what I have to do is I have to first open that PowerPoint presentation when you want to use the PowerPoint presentation in OBS open it first let's say it's here that's my presentation and what I recommend always if you are using PowerPoint in OBS and after you're finished designing your PowerPoint and notice by the way one interesting thing about this PowerPoint that I have designed I have designed it in such a way that I have kept space for my camera to be placed here okay so this is one thing you'll have to do when you are creating PowerPoints to be displayed as part of your OBS and you want your camera inside that area you'll have to keep some blank area in your PowerPoint so that your picture will appear there okay so that now I have my PowerPoint presentation and once you have the PowerPoint presentation I recommend to keep it in this if you click here you have something called the reading view click that reading view and keep the PowerPoint presentation in this form all right so your PowerPoint is ready now we can go to OBS and what I want is I want the PowerPoint to come on top here so my scene camera with PowerPoint consist of my camera view plus that window that I have just opened the PowerPoint window so I click plus and this time I will select windows capture not video capture but windows capture so my scene now is made up of a video capture plus a window and so I can say windows capture and I don't have currently so let me call it PowerPoint one whatever name you can give a PowerPoint one and click okay and next what you will do is once you say when it comes to this window it it will show you all the windows that are currently open on your computer and since I had just opened PowerPoint I can simply click or choose this one and it will bring that PowerPoint in the scene so we can see now that the PowerPoint is there in the scene we can see the camera but the problem is the camera has gone behind but this is very easy to fix I can click on the the source Nikon HDMI that's my camera view and use this arrow keys to rearrange the sequence of what comes on top what goes behind you see and you can of course move your camera view anywhere you want make it big or small as you wish you know if you want it here and now your PowerPoint is ready if I stop sharing this is what you're seeing the scene that I have just created is the scene that you are seeing now in OBS and how long did it take me to make the scene two minutes and maybe even one minute once you become familiar with it because what I said is I said create a scene captured my camera captured the PowerPoint and there we go it will appear in your zoom meeting and so this gives you the flexibility of creating scenes from different sources it doesn't have to be PowerPoint it doesn't have to be camera in fact if you look at this scene that I created first this has no camera it is just a scene with some pictures and text I've created it and then you have a scene this scene has a video plus some moving things plus my camera so you can decide how complex you want the scene depending upon what you are delivering what is it is it a training and you want to do us and for example this was an interactive scene where I have not only my camera but a window on which I can play around and can draw things I can type things and those become part of my training session right right so now I think that gives you a clear idea the basic idea of what OBS does how to install it and how to create the scenes I will take five minutes to check if there are any questions right so the first thing is I have used PowerPoint as a virtual background obviously that is Robin Chan I expect nothing less from you because you're always experimenting with stuff and yes but the problem with PowerPoint as a virtual background is what it does is it takes all your slides from the PowerPoint and then it basically converts them into images because it uses the same concept as virtual background it converts every slide as an image so if there were animations in it you would not be able to see it and that's and that's why we are using OBS because OBS removes all of these restrictions that would otherwise be there Florence leaves I need help my camera is not working so Florence the thing is we have a group WhatsApp group and I will ask Priscilla my wife to share the link if you are not already there so such technical things we normally solve in that group or even we have one-to-one sessions to troubleshoot but as we saw that as long as your hardware is working as long as your software is working then this is the output that you will get but yes if you have some technical problems we will solve them separately in a one-to-one session or asking you to share some details about what exactly is happening I will come to Tabasum's query because that is very useful how to adjust the window front and back and so let's go back to sharing anything else how to capture PowerPoint I think I just showed that right Florence I hope you have understood how I I opened the PowerPoint first then I created a scene with the camera and the PowerPoint window and that was very simple how many screens can we display at one time you can only display one screen or one scene by the way we don't call it screens one scene but that scene can be as complex as you want you can have any number of elements in that scene and not you are not only limited by your imagination so let me go back to creating another scene because that might give some of the answers to the question that have been posed here so let me go back to the scenes sharing my screen and so we have six scenes now let me create another scene from scratch and what I am going to do is first I will create a blank scene and let us call it complex scene so we'll we'll whatever we want to learn now we will put in this scene because we'll make it as complex as possible and so when I hit the okay button first of all everything will go blank because I'm creating a new scene nothing is there it's blank and just to make sure that I have a connection with you the first thing I will add obviously is my camera and I'll click on the plus sign and remember that's the video capture device that's the camera and I already have defined it before so it's here and okay and quickly once again I will remember you can move it around but more importantly I am interested in resizing it and to resize it I hold the alt key button I hold it down as I drag this lines to wherever I want all sides I can move it so that's the alt key while holding the alt key if you move like this you are cropping the video and any object when you use alt and then you do this you will crop the video and you can move it around by holding this and then moving it around resizing you hold any of the corner key and if you move it it becomes big if you move it down it becomes small so that's that's cropping and resizing any object the next thing that I will add to this is what do you all want me to add I don't know any suggestions let me check the chat box you all can put in the chat what would you like to see next to it where is the chat box gone by the way okay chat says capture one of us side by side with you now that is possible but it will be I will end up in something called a recursion because I can capture your window if I'm not again showing it back to zoom so if I was to capture your image in OBS and then again send it to zoom I will create a circular loop but it can be done if I am not broadcasting on zoom maybe if I'm broadcasting on YouTube but other than that add countdown timer add animated video yes let's do all of that PowerPoint a funny video I don't have funny video to download but I have some videos I have already on my PC so what I'm going to do is I'm going to click the plus sign and I will say for the video I will use can you all tell me what source should I use I have audio capture audio output browser color source display so a video by the way is called a media source so I will use the media source Dinesh Kumar is right I will select the media source and then it allows you to either select one of the videos that I already have in my scenes from the previous scenes or I can search for a new video on my computer and let me search for something I'll create a new one and then what you will do is you will click browse this button and you can go and search for videos that you have downloaded on your PC any video okay so the animation one which I was just showing before the start of this session the connected world this was a youtube video I downloaded and I will click open and whenever you have a video one of the thing you should click on is the loop because if you use loop it will keep showing you again and again once it reaches the end otherwise it will stop so you can use the loop option and say okay so you see that it has brought the video but what happened to me I went behind right but I think you all already know how to fix that you can go to the camera which is here and use the up arrow to move your view on top and so it will come on top and I can resize it so right we have a video and again remember you can resize the video also you can crop the video also the same way there's no difference any object that you bring you follow the same rules and there you go right there is also a very interesting feature which when you have the video if you right click on that object and if you go to transform and there is an option called fit to screen and if you try that what it does is it tries to fit the video within the screen okay so you can do that so we have the video very easy remember click plus select the source as media find the video from your computer and you are done you can resize it you can crop it do whatever you want now once again I will show you the PowerPoint because some people are saying you'll still have not sure how PowerPoint was done to add a PowerPoint the difference is that you have to first open the PowerPoint on your computer before you add the source to your OBS you have to keep the PowerPoint open on your computer and as I mentioned you I recommend that you keep it in the reading view right not this view that we normally see but this option called reading view and once it is in the reading view you will go to your OBS and click plus and capture a window and you should if you have already done it before you will find it here otherwise you can create new in this case I had already created it right so you just select it and it will bring it here again remember you can you don't have to use the whole window you can be as creative you can crop things that you don't want from this if you just want this part great just do that how cool is that so I have taken a PowerPoint but I have taken only a part of that PowerPoint and I'm showing it to you and and the cool thing about it is if you go to PowerPoint now and you go to the next slide right suppose I am on this slide see what happens it shows only that section of that PowerPoint to you so you can really be very creative as you build your sin of course don't go overboard that it confuses the audience but do it in a way that you show the right information you are not restricted anymore by the size of the PowerPoint you are not restricted by the dimensions of the video everything you can crop and move it around your scene so I have my camera now resized I have a video which is resized I have a part of a PowerPoint window what else you all wanted let me check we can choose video from YouTube absolutely let's do that let's add a video from YouTube who can tell me what what source can I use from here let's check in the chat browser source Leon nailed it browser source so we have something called a browser source so we can create bring anything from the browser and how do we do that so let's go to the browser first let me bring it here and let's go to youtube.com and okay I will since I have my own YouTube channel why don't I pick up one of my own videos right so I have this video here fine this is the link not this one this is starting at 12 second I need the link of this video which is share this will give me the if you go to youtube anytime and you want to share the video what we do we click on the share button and we say copy so this gives the link to that video right so I have the link to this particular video so let me go to obs and say plus add one more source to this and as Dion said we will choose the browser source and I'll say I'll give a name tech photos master video just for my reference so I can find it easy later on I say this is a video called tech photos masters and it'll ask you what what do you want from the browser so I will there is this option called URL and I will click control V so that the youtube link that I had shared comes here and you can of course define the dimensions how high how what's the width and the height of that video that you want from the browser you can bring that and let's just let's just bring it first right so that's the video let me pause it otherwise so it has started playing already and what I want to do is this will open the zip folder expect to button and choose the folder on your pc I'm trying to find a button to pause it but next go to your desktop and we can see that the downloaded files are three folders select all of them and right click and copy next navigate to the folder where obs is installed normally this will be in your program files obs studio and right click and paste and you should have these three folders common low okay sorry I it I was unable to stop the audio um let me just add my video source first which I deleted by mistake okay we were here yeah so the thing is that when you give that link from the browser it will start uh playing whatever is in that link and so as you saw when I put that video it started playing the video the other way you can do is you can for example you wanted to show let's say the clock the from the internet so you you for for example you have something called time and date and we want to show this clock which is here this part of it so all I need to do is I need to take the let's let's click on that yeah let's bring this one quote city clock so I will take the link go to obs and add the browser source and let's say quit clock and click okay and put that link that I copied from the browser of course it will bring you the whole window but remember use the alt key and you can show only the part of the window that we want here remove all of these things and now we have an active clock which is a browser source in your scene let me move myself up yeah you see now we have a video we have a part of a powerpoint we have a camera we have a clock running from the internet all shown to you as a scene as a virtual camera so you can really go more and more into this but I think you have got a clear idea now how you assemble the scene right because that's the scene you are now seeing on the and before I move to the anything other questions what I want to show you one also is this transitions as I move from one scene to the next you see this transitions that it sort of changes the shape like a circle that is handled here in this something called the scenes transition so you can make the transition different types of transitions for example let me say swipe and if I use this now you see it has a different kind of transition so you can play with the different transitions that are available to you but that's how you do the transitions from one scene to the other scene so technically if you wanted to show let's say a couple of slides two or three slides or four slides you don't even need to use powerpoint what you can do is we can have a scene like scene one scene two scene three and in each scene you can have like a small picture along with your fourth your camera and then you can switch between one scene to the other scene without even the need for powerpoint robin chan for the browser does the browser need to be open at the same time to be able to project it no the all you have to do is you have to give link to the source where it should come and obs will directly go and bring that source that's why when I put the youtube video what happened is that it started playing automatically right so that's the one thing you have to keep in mind so what I could do for example is if I wanted to show that youtube video what I could do is I could create a scene which says youtube video and in this scene let me add my camera as usual and quickly crop it so I have my camera and I want to show the video here so what I will do is I will go back to that youtube video of mine here and use this link share to copy the link of the youtube video and go back to obs and say plus browser source and give you tag photos masters and click ok and then paste that link here in the url and what I will do is I will say refresh the browser when the scene becomes active that means when I switch to that scene it will automatically start playing the video so let me do that now and so it starts playing by the way use alt key to remove some parts of which I don't want so as I switch you can see that it has automatically started playing you see it's kind of okay but the problem is once the scene I okay I think we have to use this option so yeah so this is the way to do it that if you want to show youtube video create a separate scene so that when I switch the scene and I move to the youtube video it will immediately start playing that video right and then when I go away from the scene it will stop and the way I have done it is I have used this option shut down source when not visible and refresh browser source when scene becomes active so I hope that explains to you how you can pull up even youtube videos in your scenes whenever you want to show something and what else better to download the video first then you can add it also of course that's that goes without saying that's why I prefer to have my videos downloaded on my pc and then I can control them much better and anything else if I have missed how do we share the sound of the video now you have to understand one thing when we create this virtual camera let me move here this one okay it's still there great now you have to understand that when obs uses this process it is only sending the camera it is not sending the sound that means even if you create a browser source and you have a youtube video it will come here but it will only send the visual into zoom it will not send the sound because the sound is still coming from your microphone okay this is your microphone and the zoom is picking up the sound directly from here so if I wanted you all to listen to that audio which was there when I click on this youtube video if I wanted you to listen to the sound do you all think there is a way to do it there are some ways to do that but what I will have the way I could do that let me stop sharing it and show you how I could do it because I can't share and show you at the same time so what I'm going to do is I'm going to start the scene so you will see in this scene now the youtube video but you are not listening hearing the sound right then in in zoom what I'm going to do is I'm going to say share screen and share the computer sound like this let's get started can you hear it now yeah so that's the way you could share a youtube video it's a little complicated but it is possible project website I have included a link in the video and if I stop share of the in now you cannot hear it so we have reached almost the 60 minutes that I had scheduled the idea today was just to give you this concept of what is what is OBS what is this virtual camera how you can create the scenes okay and the rest is really up to your imagination how you the first thing you have to do is download the software like namrata did you may have to struggle a little bit but as I said we have a whatsapp group where we can answer the technical part of it like somebody said my camera is not coming that can be solved one to one not a problem but you have to have that imagination saying that okay I want to go this route I will create this virtual camera I understand that concept now that I have to download I have to create some scene so your first scene could be as simple as possible just bring the camera and something some image something like that and then start your virtual camera and then start using zoom and show it in zoom let me show you that part about how it all works first of all once you created that scene the first thing you would have done obviously is this part which says start virtual camera so once for example if I stop the virtual camera you will notice my picture disappeared right you can no longer see my picture it just shows you like a blank screen because I have stopped the virtual camera but if I say start virtual camera then whatever the scene is here that's what you are seeing in zoom now in zoom how do we tell the zoom that this scene is what you need to use the way we do that is if I show my zoom screen so here in the video we have this option called this is the normal camera USB which is my camera but this is the OBS you will see something like this OBS virtual camera so you will choose the virtual camera and then the scene is what you will see that is done in zoom okay so steps are very simple download the OBS create the scene start the virtual camera then go to zoom and say start video but instead of start video choose the OBS virtual camera as your source and then whatever scene you are on in in OBS is the scene that you will see in zoom Dinesh says I think we cannot use virtual camera no you can use virtual camera but like if you create a virtual camera a virtual background on a scene it doesn't make really any sense so if you are using OBS you have to forget about all the things that are available in zoom the virtual background the ppt as virtual background you know you're not going to use that because you are going to create and construct everything that you need in OBS itself right in Mac we do not have reader view in PowerPoint how do we manage well you can always put it in the slideshow mode and then share that window it's the only reason I like the reader view is because you can switch between windows very easily otherwise if you go into the slideshow mode then what happens is you cannot move to the other window except using alt tab it's a little complicated the other option is depending on what kind of power points that you want if it has only four slides or five slides right the simple thing is to output all of the slides as jpg files and create that many scenes in OBS it's much easier you know so if you have four slides save all the slides as your as images and then create four scenes in in in zoom in sorry in OBS to use those images as separate scenes and then you can move scene one scene two scene three scene four and you are done you don't even need PowerPoint and it'll be much more reliable that way you don't have to keep the window open you can just use them as images and they'll be there all the time so that's the other way we can do in Mac then use keynote yeah Jim Jim is expert in so any questions even if you put it in the in the OBS WhatsApp group Jim will help you in the Mac part of it because he uses quite regularly Florence Lee's I don't think I have the start virtual camera you please check the latest version that you are loading just go to OBS and check for updates make sure that you have 26 version 26 and 26.2 the one which was released today will give you the option to start virtual camera on the Mac I will unmute this thing now if anybody wants to have to say something and maybe even show us something please feel free to do that and I'll allow the ability to share also now. DTM Khajitan, Mahabruk what an amazing session and I love the way you are playing with OBS and even the OBS creator would not have known that so
