 Good evening everyone, or good morning or good afternoon, depending on where you are currently. And welcome to this very unique workshop that I conceived, because whenever I give any training, invariably the question that comes first in the chat is not about the subject that I'm teaching, whether it's Canva or whether it is, what else do I teach PowerPoint to? The first question they ask is how are you doing this? How are you doing the screen sharing? And you might have seen how are you doing this session? How are you doing the screen sharing? And so I decided to focus a session for y'all, especially those of y'all who give a lot of trainings, presentations, because it's one thing to just come and do a screen share. You go to Zoom, you say share and you share your PowerPoint or you share your screen. But then where are you in this? You will be a small square in one corner of the Zoom window and what happens invariably is that people are just watching or looking at the screen and they're not paying attention to you. They switch off their video. So if you really want to create something high impact, you need to step up one step and this is the step that you should be taking. And I hope at the end of the session, all of y'all go already at home, but all of y'all open up your laptop and start practicing and trying to see how your next presentation can be more impactful. And I want this session to be quite interactive. So I would as much as possible want y'all to have your videos on so I can sort of interact with you, ask y'all to be, ask y'all to interact with me, because this is not a teaching session. I'm not going to teach y'all. I'm going to sort of train y'all in the sense that we have to have this interactive conversation. Before I do that, of course, there could be many of y'all in the audience who have not heard of me before. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to run through a short introduction about what are we going to do here today, what is objectives, and who am I. So those of y'all who have not done any of my trainings before, my name is Kajitan Barreto. I'm currently based in Kuwait. And those of you who are in Toastmasters, I'm a distinguished Toastmaster. But besides that, I love training and that's why I love to have the sessions because I like to build skills, transfer skills to others. Some of my other hobbies I would say that I'm a photographer, I'm a scuba diver, I'm a kettlebell trainer. So I'm in pretty good shape. Not many of you will think that I'm 56 years old, but that is because I also pay attention to fitness. And overall I love technology, I love playing around with computers and different software, hardware. And these are my social pages, Barretophotography.com, and I have an Instagram page called Dustin Kuwait. And the one that I'm really proud of is the YouTube channel that I launched during the pandemic, Tech for Toastmasters, and that has helped a lot of people. And I get messages from all over the world saying, oh, that really helped me, that helped me to create an impactful presentation or an impactful timer role. So yes, so do check it out if you haven't already done so. I will be unmuting or muting your depending upon what is the requirement as we go through. Do use the speaker view so that you can see all the content and I do encourage even your later on, because you will not see me doing much screen sharing. I think most of my thing is create using this OBS, and we are going to see how we can do something like this to use OBS to present PowerPoint to present desktop everything I do through OBS. Okay, as much as possible put your queries in chat. So if they're relevant to what I'm discussing here, I will immediately ask you all to unmute share your feedback share your experience. And of course, make sure that you are in a safe environment. So what are we going to do today is we are going to talk about what is a virtual camera. This is what you are seeing right now a virtual camera, how we can create the scenes, how we can move from one scene to the other scene. And I will be also touching upon green screen because that has the power to really create high impact presentation. We're also talking about timers and animations that you saw at the beginning of the session. So with that, by the way, you might see me looking like this. Why that is because whatever I'm projecting is on the second screen. So when I look at that screen it means I'm looking at what you all are seeing. And when I see on the camera, it means I'm looking at the camera and my primary screen. So with that out of the way, what are we here today for. We are basically learning or we are going to or I'm going to teach you all how to create something like this where you can have multiple in this case I have an image I have a video I have a timer I have some text. So all of these elements you can place and create a scene. The scene creation is what we are going to do. You can be as creative as you want when you create the sins. So for example, the scene that I had created earlier was a scene with a PowerPoint presentation. So that had my, my camera and PowerPoint in this scene I have, as I said, a video, some text, some timers. This scene with just the camera, nothing else. So this is what you would normally get in zoom if you were just to use a web camera. And so that's the scene. And this was a scene that I created to show you a countdown. Right. So, and you could even make something like this. I don't recommend it. Those of you who are from India would probably know this scene quite well. And, you know, if you are suffering from some kind of epilepsy you could get a stroke when you see a scene like that. So I don't recommend a scene like this, but you could do it I have here a video scene. I have a clock on top and I have a lot of moving things around. Yes, please don't do that. So, let's talk about the scene creation. And before I do that, may I request Priscilla, are you there? Yeah, yes. Yes, I tend this because I see people coming in and I was not paying attention to them. Okay, okay. And Priscilla. Yes, you are. That's why you were able to unmute yourself and so. I believe some of them are getting an echo that some of them are some of your voices echoing for some of the attendees. In the comments section, is it really echoing for everyone? What about you? Are you getting an echo? No. So it might be related to their particular device because I do not expect my setup to create any echo if your setup is correct. Okay, so let's dive into it and to do that, what I'm going to do is I'm going to now for the, because I cannot show what I'm going to show now using a scene because I'm going to show you how to create a scene. So I have to use desktop sharing. And this is the only time I'll be doing a desktop sharing. So let me share my screen. And hopefully you all can now see me in a box in a, in a software which is called OBS Studio. Okay. Yes, you can all see me in there. This is OBS Studio. OBS Studio is a software. First of all, it's one of those golden softwares, which is completely free. And the reason why it is completely free is because it's an open source product. It has, it's a community based product. It has been created by many people working as like how we do in Toastmasters. OBS is created by such volunteers and OBS, if I was to open the browser. Right. So, OBSproject.com, this is the website that you have to go to. And it has software for Windows, Mac, and even Linux. The feature that I'm going to discuss today because OBS, as I said, is a Swiss knife. It has so many features, but we are going to today only talk about how to use one of its features that is the scene creation that I showed you in the beginning and project it to zoom so that the audience not only sees the content that you want to share, but you can position yourself, the camera and other elements to really make an impactful presentation. So the Windows software is the one which it will work and give you that feature of the virtual camera. So you have to click here, go to OBSproject.com, download and install. And I expect I'm not going to teach you all how to install a software because all of your likes, because this is an advanced workshop, you'll have to invest some time fiddling around with the installation procedure. And then after it is installed, open the program. And if you have difficulty installing, ask for some friends who have IT knowledge, what to do, how to install it. But basically it's a very simple process, you download the program, you double click on it, you go through a setup process. And after it is installed, you should be able to see the screen. And again, today's session we are going to talk about just one aspect of that of that software, which is right here called virtual camera. So what we are going to do is we are going to learn how to use all of these elements which are here. For example, in the first element that we have is called scenes. So as you can see, all the scenes that I was showing you are here. A workshop introduction, the moving background, the PowerPoint and Republic TV. So I created multiple scenes and I could just click on each of the scene. And that is what you were seeing. So I created scenes. Okay, so we will learn how to create these scenes. And for each scene that I go to, let's say if I look at the first scene desktop intro, you can see that the scene is made up of five things, right. So it is made up of an image, it is made up of three text boxes and it is made up of a video. So that's the scene. If I look at the PowerPoint scene. And let's see what is that made up of. So as you can see, this scene is made up of only two things, a PowerPoint and the camera. And that's what you were seeing when I when I was showing you the my intro introduction, you were seeing this scene. Then the third part is we are not going to worry about it because that is actually related to audio mixing and this is what I use to create my YouTube videos. So whenever I want to create YouTube videos instruction material, which I post on YouTube channel, I use this segment to make sure that my audio comes clear. But for this purpose of our training today, we are not going to use that part because we are not going to teach you how to create YouTube videos. I'm going to show you how to create scenes only. And in zoom, the audio will be from your normal microphone. Okay, so we are going to use these two sections and your zoom camera microphone to create that ultimate picture. But as you start progressing and learning more about OBS, you may want to use it for, for example, start recording. This is what I do to create the video of the instructions that I create all because it creates very high quality video. If you were to do a recording using zoom, the quality of zoom recording is not really good and I don't rely on it. So I always use OBS to do all my recordings. And if you were, anybody knows here Twitch, which is a very big in the pandemic for it's like your own TV channel. You know, if you go to twitch.tv, everyone is streaming or everyone is having their own TV channel. They are doing training. They are doing game playing. So OBS is actually a product that was created to do streaming. So you hit a button and you can stream to YouTube, you can stream to Twitch, you can stream to Facebook directly without using zoom. Everything you can do through OBS. So it's, as I said, it's like a Swiss army knife, but we are going to only focus on the virtual camera. So to start with, I will let me admit some people who are here in the waiting room. So scenes is a building block and that's what all we are going to learn. So assuming that you have, you have this installed, what I'm going to do is I'm going to start with a completely new set. I'm going to remove everything and I'll say high impact workshop. So I'm going to create scenes from beginning from scratch. So everything is gone now. So nothing is there. Right. All you can see is a blank board on top here. This is where I will develop my scenes. I will have one or two or three or four depends how many scenes you want. What, what is that you are the director now you have a blank canvas. You decide what you want to create. Right. And let me stop the virtual cameras so it will not show anything in zoom for you will just see a blank video now. But everything you should see on the, on the, on the share screen. So we have the scene. So I am starting with the blank scene and for each scene I will define sources. So let's start with a very simple scene, which is let's say the camera. Okay. So what we want to do is the first scene that I have, let me give it a name. And the way I do it is I click on the scene. I right click on it. And I can give a name to it. And it's very use important that when you're creating scenes give names that you can easily understand what that scene is about. So we can say this is a camera only scene. Let me give it a name. Camera only scene. Okay. So this is the scene that I have created camera only. So that's the only thing that this scene will have. So once you define the scene, the next thing you need to do is decide what is there in that scene. So let me bring up first of all the contents of the scene or what we call the sources. So click on the plus sign to define the source. And you will have different sources available to you. You can have video capture device. You can have an I'll explain some of it. You don't have to know all of them, but I'll show. I'll tell you the most common ones. So the first common one you need to understand is the video capture device. Noted on the video capture device is your camera. Okay. So click video capture device. And since I'm starting from scratch, I can give a name to my capture device. And some of you all might be having multiple cameras. You might have two USB cameras, three cameras. I have two here. So what I'm going to do is I'm first going to capture my main camera, which is a Nikon, which is sitting right in front of me. And I will give it a name. I'll say this is the Nikon camera. So I can easily recollect it and use it in many scenes afterwards. So I have created my first source, which says Nikon camera. And okay. Now, OBS wants to know what is this camera because it finds that there are many cameras installed on my PC. Right. And of course I do a lot of experimentation. I did tell you I'm a geek, right? So I do have multiple devices, multiple cameras. And I know that my Nikon camera is connected here in this section. If you'll have only one USB camera, you may see only one option there. You may not see all of this. So I will select it. Ah, you can now finally see me. Okay. So that's my camera. And in reality, all I have to do is I can say, okay, so my first scene is ready. Right. So I have selected a scene which has only camera. And then I have gone and added a source, which is my camera. Okay. Anytime I want to change it, I can double click on it and make some parameters changes to it. For example, if I want a high resolution, I can change the resolution here. For example, let's say custom. And let's see what the camera supports. See the camera supports different resolutions. Sorry. And those of you who know resolutions of video, you will know that the first resolution 19201080, especially even if you are doing canva is has a very special meaning. That's the full HD resolution. If you'll have full HD TVs in your house. That's the full HD resolution. Right. 1280 by 720. That's called HD HD resolution, not full HD. So you can choose because maybe you want to conserve your bandwidth. So you can say only give me 720p. So it will give you that resolution. And you see this red boundaries around the source. You can hold it like how you do in canva. You can move it around, make it big or small. You can move it around. So the source doesn't have to be in the whole screen. You can choose how you want that source. You can move it just like how we do in any software. So that's my first source done. Right. And my scene. So whenever I want to, let's say do a speech and I don't want any destruction. I don't want any background. I just want to talk to the audience. Right. So that's the source I will be using Nikon camera. Okay. If you all want any particular scene in mind, you want to combine one, two, three, please put in the chat so we can create the scenes together. And so let's, let me make one scene which is, let's go here and say a new scene. I click on the plus button. And let's say this is with the toast master background. Okay. So I'm going to create a scene with toast master background. And again, I will now define what is the contents of this scene. So first I want a background of toast masters. And those of you all who are in toast masters know that you can download all of this background. I have them already on my PC. So again, I'll click plus. And this time I will choose image. Okay. So the source that I'm going to select is an image. So let me select image. And let's call it TI background. I give a name to it. So because I can use the source afterwards if I want it in another scene. So it will ask me, where is the image file? Again, you can click on the browse button here and locate the, I have a small problem with this OBS. Let me restart it. Okay. So I have created the second scene with toast master background. So the first thing I want to do is select an image and the image file. I can double click on it and select browse. And of course you can go to your PC wherever it is located. I normally have all my backgrounds somewhere here. And let's say I want this background. So it has created for me a scene with the first image as a background. Click. Okay. Again, remember, I can move and resize this image how I want. If I want it on the whole screen, I can move it like that. Right. And then the second part I want in the middle of the scene is let's say my picture, my video. So again, I can click plus for the second scene, click the second element that I want. And this time it's the video capture device. Remember your web camera is your video capture device. And I don't have to create new this time. That's why I told you we can give a name whenever we are creating a source. So I can say add the source that I already created in the first scene, which was the Nikon camera. So I can click add existing the Nikon camera and okay. Okay. And then move it around wherever you want. And I have my second scene. Okay. Very simple scene image and a camera. And then you have created your second scene. Any questions so far? Okay. Alpha. Dagnoco asking which type of background should we use PNG or JPG? It doesn't matter as long as it's a picture. It doesn't matter as long as you have the image on your, on your PC. Use it. Okay. PNG is a higher quality, but it doesn't matter for us as long as the scene is created. We are fine. Okay. Now the next thing I want to create is the one which most of you all will be very interested. And that is how to use your camera and your PowerPoint presentation at the same time. Am I right? Because many of you all want to give PowerPoint presentations. And what happens is instead of sharing, I'm going to create now a scene that is made up of one side PowerPoint, one side my picture. Right. So what I'm going to do is first of all, let's create a new scene. So I have two scenes. Now a camera only scene, a camera with a background and notice how I can switch between them. Right. So imagine that you are in a zoom session and you have all this fancy scene set up and with the click of a button, you can move from one scene to the other scene and everyone will say, wow, that's so impactful. So the third scene I'm going to create is made up of my camera and a PowerPoint presentation. So let's say plus, I'll say camera with PowerPoint. I'll give you the name like this and click OK. Again, I'm in a blank sheet. I'm the director now. I decide what to do. The first thing I want to do is first of all make my camera. So in this camera with PowerPoint, I will click plus. And again, remember it's a video capture device, right? Because I want the camera. And since I already defined the Nikon, I will click Nikon camera and OK. So that's my camera. I can resize it and let's say, and there is one very interesting thing you can do when you have a source. All right. It's not, you don't have to just resize it. You can actually crop it and the way we crop it is you hold down the Alt key, the Alt key on your keyboard. And you see now this arrow keys, you can make it like this. So you don't have to have the whole scene. You can crop yourself so that it only shows you part of that scene and you can then make it big like this. Interesting. So now we have our camera source, but not the full camera source. I have cropped it. OK. Now next to this, I want to show the PowerPoint presentation. So I will click plus. OK. Now for the PowerPoint, the trick you have to do is you have to have PowerPoint open already. And in PowerPoint at the bottom, there is this different buttons. There is a view called the reading view and slide show view. I always like to keep it on the reading view because reading view allows me to not only see the PowerPoint as a slide show, but it also shows me at the bottom all of my icons so I can easily switch from one to the other. So use the reading view of PowerPoint. OK. So open your PowerPoint, keep it in the reading view. Then go to OBS and say plus. Add a new source. And this time I will choose what we call a window capture because I want to capture that PowerPoint window and click windows capture. And again, always I like to give names that I will remember afterwards. So I will say intro PowerPoint, introduction PowerPoint. OK. I'll give a name to it so I can understand what it is. And it will ask you which window you want. So I want it will give you all the windows that are currently open on your PC and I will choose the PowerPoint slideshow which is this one. And somebody asked me how did I make that? Yeah. So what I have done is I have created this scene with this PowerPoint and click OK. All right. And again, I can move it around and make it big. And there is one more trick you can do. If you want this whole PowerPoint to be on the full screen, you can right click on it and you can say transform, transform and full fit to screen. OK. This is a shortcut instead of trying to resize it. You can just click fit to screen and it will bring the whole scene on your screen. But what happened to my camera? You will ask me. I had put a camera view, right? What happened is if you see the order here, it shows PowerPoint is on top. And then the Nikon camera is at the second, right? What I really need to do is I need to rearrange it. And it's very simple. I can click on Nikon camera and you see at the bottom there is arrow key, move up. It's like up arrow. If I move it, voila, the camera comes on top. OK. So now the interesting thing is I can, of course, so each, there are two elements. Let me take the camera, click on it and I can move it around. I can resize it to whatever size I want. Put it like this. So whenever you want to do this kind of presentations, the suggestion is that you plan your PowerPoint presentation in such a way that there is enough space in that PowerPoint presentation for your camera view to be seen, right? Because if you were to make a PowerPoint presentation on the whole screen, then where will your camera view be? So what I have done is I have created my PowerPoint in a way that the content is on the right-hand side so I can place myself on the left-hand side. And that way I can have a conversation during my PowerPoint presentation and talk to you all and you will see both my key points as well as my camera view. Now the interesting thing about PowerPoint presentation is if I go to my PowerPoint and if I click on the next arrow here, let me show my first screen. Let's say I go to the first slide of mine and if I go to OBS, it is automatically showing me that slide. So as you move through the PowerPoint, the window, what is OBS doing? It is automatically showing you the right slide along with your camera view. So when now, for example, if I start the virtual camera, then you will see this scene on your screen. And as I move, I go back to PowerPoint and as I move through the different slides, those slides come up on my screen for you to see. Okay. So we have created three scenes now. The first scene was only a camera. The second scene was a camera with an image. The third scene was with a camera and a PowerPoint presentation. But you can put any number of elements inside the scene. You are not limited to two sources, two things or three things. You can put many other things. So let's try to create a slightly complex scene with a video or something like that. So again, we are back to a blank screen. Nothing is there. So first of all, let me bring up my, give me a second. My co-host was, okay. So first of all, the simplest thing I will bring up so that I can have a discussion with you is my video capture device, which is my camera so that I can add the existing camera, which is a Nikon camera and click okay. So I'm there. So I can have a discussion with you. And let me make it again. Resize it. And remember, if you click the Alt key and then you move these guides around, you can have cropping from your video. Okay. So that's the first thing. Tell me what else you would like me to place? Place. What is the shortcut button for crop screen? Really, I don't know. There are many shortcuts. You can, you can configure many of the shortcuts. I haven't really invested too much time in shortcuts because I love to have a visual way of doing things. But please feel free to find it. Right. So the first thing I want to do is I want to put a video. Right. So video again, if you have a video on your PC, click plus and this time you will select media source. You will not select image. You will not, you'll select media source and media source allows you to load any video and make it part of your scene. So I don't have any video. So let's say where do I have a video? Let me see where I can find the video. Okay. I found one. So on my desktop, on my computer, I had one video that I downloaded and I kept it on my PC. I click open and okay. So this is the video that I had created. I think I had used Canva for this. I had created this five second video using Canva. So I put the Canva. I mean, I put this video and when you're putting video, one important feature thing that you need to take care is this option here called loop. If you click on that loop, what it does is once the video finishes, let's say it's a five second video, it will start playing again. It will keep looping. So I normally like to keep the videos on loop. But what happened to my camera? I guess you all know, click on the Nikon camera and use this arrow to move it up and there you have it. You can move it around and put it wherever you want. Okay. So now I have a scene with the video and a camera. What else can I put? I can put, let's see. Let's start adding more things in it. You can add, of course, text. The simplest thing is text. You just want to put some text box on your scene. So please text and let's call it heading one. And type your text. Okay. And click. Okay. Now, as you can see, the text is here, right? And it's too big. So what I can do is I can again use the guides to resize it, make it big or small. Right. Move this around a little bit. Move this here. And that's it. Right. So other things, obviously that is very easy to do is you can click on that double click on it and you can have things like color. Right. So you want it in a, let's say red color. It will come like that. Right. You want to change the font. So click on the properties and let's say you want to change the font to any other font. Right. And there you have it. So font, color, size, you can easily do it and you can have that text box. Okay. The other thing I would like to show you is something called a countdown timer. You can add a countdown timer to this. And the way we do that is you click plus. And also we will use the text source, text source. And I'll call this a countdown timer. Okay. And let's say the countdown timer should come like this. I was minutes and seconds. I'll click. Okay. And let's say it should be here. And I want to change the color. So to make it, let's say, sorry, not the font, but the color. I come down here and I choose color. Let's make it black. All right. So that's the countdown timer. But of course, nothing is happening to it. Right. It's just 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. Now, how do I convert it into a countdown timer is in, in the OBS, we have something called tools. Okay. And we have something called scripts. So under tools, we have an option called scripts. So when I click on that, I have this countdown script. As you can see, so what I can do is I can click countdown and I can say countdown 10 minutes from now. Sorry. Tools, scripts, countdown, 10 minutes. And then where should it put it? It should put it in one of these text boxes. I had a heading one and had a countdown timer. I want to put it in the countdown timer in the source and close. And notice that it already started as a countdown timer. So I have created a scene now with four elements, which is heading a video source, my camera view, one text box, which is just saying advanced workshop and another text box using the script that allows me to have a countdown timer. So now you can already start imagining all the things that you can create in a scene and how you may use this in your online meetings. Right. So you have to start getting creative yourself. Experiment with all of the options that are available for you. Another source that I would like to show you and I let me show it in this screen itself is something very interesting source called browser source. And this really gives you a lot of flexibility. A browser source means anything that the web browser has, anything that is available in the web browser, you can show it in this scene. Think of a website. Let's say go to any website. Let me take you to let's say weather. Correct. You have time and date.com and quit city. This is the weather of quit. And let's say I want this clock. This clock in my scene. Imagine, right? I don't want the whole website. I just want this source. So what I do, take this link. You know how to take the link, right? Just select this link and copy it. So that is your website, the web page. Take the web page. Come to OBS and let's add it in the same scene. I want to show the clock. Let's see the time over here. And so I will click plus and I will select browser source. Okay. And I'll say quit time. I'll give a name to it. And in this URL, the source, the web link, just type that link that you had copied from that website. Okay. Of course it will bring the whole website to you, but we don't want that whole website. And you know how to remove, take only this part of it. I'm sure Shashank knows it. You have to hold the alt key and resize it so that you take only the visible portion that you want and remove all the other parts. And you have a source from a website that you can now show on your scene and notice that it is dynamic, right? It is keeping on changing the time which is being displayed on the website. It is in real time showing you to you on your scene. That is the scene that I've created. Okay. And when you are ready with the scene, even there is a complicated scene, you go to OBS. And all you have to do now is click. Oh, my camera is already on. Okay. So just start the virtual camera. Currently it was start virtual camera. And now let me stop the sharing. And can you see now in the on your screen, the scene that we had just created, you can see the clock, you can see the video, you can see the countdown timer, you can see the text, everything that I had created. And now I'm talking to you. And that's the scene that I'm projecting in zoom, because zoom is now using my OBS camera as my virtual camera. And I guess you all know how to change the camera in zoom, right? Anybody has any problems with that? If not, let me show it to you. So this is my, you are not able to see my complete zoom screen. But in the video section at the bottom, what you have to do is you have to click video. And instead of your web camera, you will choose the OBS camera as your source. And then this is what you will see or what everyone will see that we have created this scene. And yeah, so isn't this more impactful than just having doing screen sharing? Because when you do screen sharing, you can't really have your video, you know, and the good thing about this now is, of course, if I want myself to be moved around in real time, I can do that. If I want myself to be bigger, I can do that. If I want to, while I'm talking to you, if I want to change my scene, not to be this one, but the camera only view, I quickly change it. Then I go to OBS and I say, okay, change the scene to the one with the Toastmaster background, the second scene that we had created, or change it for the PowerPoint presentation, or change it with this fancy scene that I have created, right? So that is how you can build your scenes. And for me, this is for you the starting point of creating, playing around with it, install the software, create the scene and then use it in your Zoom. Okay, let me just check some of the questions. Okay, so showing live polls like Slido on the same scene. Of course, as long as you have a website that has, I can bring the website. In fact, let me, instead of this, let me change it. I will change it to real time and let me add a website. Let's say, for example, what is it, the one which we use, the one which we play games, I forgot the name, but... Asta Basu. Yeah, what is it called? I had an account with them also. Shaks, how did I forget that? Wasmaso Jino, could you help us there? He might not be able to unmute himself. So, let's say I have a Kahoot and this is an online game. You want to play instead of sharing. You want to show this because you are now seeing my camera. That's fine. Kahoot.it, it's taking time. Yeah. Give me a second. I'm just loading the website and it seems to be a little slow. It's very slow. It's my website. So, I have loaded a source which is a browser. And so you can actually, what I'm trying to explain, this is that any browser, any online website, you can bring it into your scene. You can resize it the way you want it and then have a very interactive session. So as you go to the website, as people play, it will come in real time in your camera scene. Okay. So that's what I meant to, so you can do it. Yeah. So then, if you are conducting a PowerPoint designing session, is it possible to share it without presentation? I did not understand the question. Shashank, I will ask you maybe later on. Is it a must to have two cameras? No, I have only one camera right now. I can set up a second camera, but you can do with one camera. I'm preparing a club offices training VP and I intend to make my session. Yes, this is a very fun way to do it, by the way. I highly advise all club office, all members who are going to do COT. Don't do it a normal sharing way. In fact, take the PowerPoint from Toastmasters, redesign it and project it with your camera and it will have more impact. I can assure you. If you want to show your Zoom screens, actually there is a setting in Zoom itself. It's out of the scope, but I can probably later on. Yeah, Kahut was the name I was looking for and I forgot it. Can you please explain how to change the PowerPoint slides from OBS? No, the way I do it is if I go back to my scene, which is the PowerPoint. So this is the PowerPoint with the slide. So if I want to change the slide, I don't do it in OBS. I go to PowerPoint. So I will click on PowerPoint. And in the PowerPoint, I will move from one slide to the other slide. And as I'm moving in PowerPoint, it will automatically reflect in OBS and that automatically in turn will reflect in your Zoom meeting. I see that Santosh is already doing his Zoom. I'm very happy to see that. And the next thing I want to show you, which really can make an impact is what I'm talking about is the, and the, before that, so now we have seen the virtual camera, what it is. It is a collection of different elements that you put in OBS and then project it onto the Zoom camera. Scenes, I've shown you four different scenes that we created very quickly. Transitions, so if I go back to my sharing. So we have here the transitions, right? So what we can do is when I'm shifting from one scene to the other scene, you can have set up some transitions. For example, we can have something like swipe, right? And what it does is as you move from one scene to the other scene, let's see what happens. See it does like this. Okay, so you can set up the scenes. You can make the duration maybe a little longer. Let's say 600. So what will happen is when I'm shifting from once in the other, it will give you that nice transition background like this. Maybe on the sharing, you don't see it properly, but on the audience, when you're doing the screen sharing, they will see it very nicely like this. So that's the transition part of it. And now I want to show you how to create the green screen. And so this will be a little practical part of it. Now what is a green screen? So in fact, I have green screen here, right? Green screens are amazing because they allow you to create something really cool. And this material that I'm using, by the way, it is a Muslim cloth. I just managed to hang it around. And so behind me, there is nothing but green screen. Let me just make sure that the whole thing is covered. I can see. So if you have a green screen behind you like this, if you manage to find this cloth and somehow hang it behind you, you can do some really cool stuff, especially in OBS. And let's see how that cool stuff works. So let me go to my Nikon camera. So that's the camera view that I have, right? And now, because I don't have a background, all I have is a green screen. And what I can tell OBS is if you have a green screen, you can tell OBS, remove it. Okay. And we do that by clicking properties or what we call filters, right? So we have something here called filters for the camera. So in the camera view, not for the PowerPoint, but for the camera view, I can say filters. And we have two types of filters that we can add. We can have something called audio video filters and audio video filters are good if you are doing recordings using OBS. So all my YouTube videos, I use a lot of audio filters to get the voice really good, you know, like that FM type of voice. But now I'm using Zoom, so I can't use those filters. But I can use what we call the effects filters, right? So, and I click what we call Chrome Monkey. Chrome Monkey is a word used in film industry for green screen. All this Superman movies or this action movies that they shoot with all this fancy stuff, that is all done using green screen and using something called Chrome Monkey. Now you may ask me why is the green used? Because green is a color. First of all, our skin is not green. Our clothes are usually not green. That's why green is used as the benchmark for Chrome Monkey. And so when I do that, I click OK. You notice that I choose green and click close. What happened? Right? You notice it? The background disappeared. It's just me now. Whatever you can see, the chair and whatever was the background has become transparent. And this allows me to create something really, some really interesting stuff. For example, let's say I'm doing training and I want to show you all Canva. Right? So what I can do is I can have a scene. Let me create a new scene, Canva training. And this scene, I want to first of all show the Canva website. So I will create. So let me first open Canva.com. Right? So I have the Canva opened. Now let me go back to OBS and click plus. So the first source that I will let me first add myself so that I can see all. So video capture device, Nikon camera. And OK, so that's me without with a green screen, which means my background is all gone. But now I will add the second element, which is the windows capture. And I will add Canva website. So here I will choose Canva. OK, and make sure that I move myself up using the arrow key as we did before. And notice now how I can do the training on Canva. Right? So I could move myself on the site. And as I'm giving you training on Canva, this is what you will see on your. So let me stop the share. Right? So now I'm training you along Canva. So you can see the Canva website. You can see my picture with the chroma key with the green screen. And so what I can do is I can go to the Canva and I want to demonstrate something to you. For example, I'll say show all your designs. So you can see both the things at the same time. I can move, make myself small or big as I wish. I can move myself around. And you can have a really interesting way of delivering your training, your PowerPoint, if you use a green screen like this. And if you have noticed many of the YouTube tutorials and all that, they use this. And it's not very difficult to do. How expensive is a green screen? Go to the clothes shop by three by three meter, find one hanger, put it behind you, and voila, OBS will automatically make it green screen and remove the background for you. Correct? Yeah. Wow. This is really cool. When I first did it, I was myself very much impressed because it allows me to create a very engaging content, especially if I'm doing training, if I'm doing YouTube videos, and I want to show you the website as well as myself in the same screen. This is the way to do it. Amazing. Daksha Gulaycha is already doing something similar. And this is the whole objective of this session for you all to experiment. Start with whatever you have in mind and as you start exploring more and more, you will get different ideas to do this. Correct? Yeah. Looks like I'm in Steven Spielberg's studio, Santhosh. Yes, it does. And again, it's free. You don't have to, you just have to experiment, play around, make sure that the OBS scene is created with the right elements, put a green screen behind you, and your next presentation will be really, really impactful. What if I don't have a green cloth? Yeah, you need a green cloth. That's the whole thing about a green screen. You could try with the blue one, by the way, but it will not be very precise because green is the standard for crow monkey. So when you talk about crow monkey, it's always they talk about green, sometimes blue, but mostly green. And if you have seen any of the action movies, they'll have this big green cloth behind them in all the scenes. And the actors are basically just jumping and then they will replace the green screen with space or falling buildings or tornadoes or whatever the case might be. So green screen is the way to go. If you want this kind of impact that I'm showing you right now, you need to invest in a green screen. A few dollars, a few KD maybe. Can we integrate two zoom devices, mobile and laptop to OBS? I don't know what would be the objective. You can actually... No, see OBS works on one device. So whatever is connected to that device, it can pull the sources like from the website, from the web camera, from text, but it cannot bring from another, unless you connect the device to your laptop somehow. So for example, whenever I want to use mobile as my source, I have to first connect the mobile to my laptop and then use whatever is available on the mobile. So it should be in one device. There's a question from Bindu. Can you change the camera to a circle or a different shape? You will not be able to do it like that. You have only the option of... Yes, it is possible. It requires little more experimentation with this. I had done it before. You have in Photoshop, you'll have to create this kind of shape. But for me to demonstrate it now, it will take too much time because I don't have those elements with me. But if you go on the Google, you'll find plenty of elements already available. You can put it in the scene. And then when you put your photo inside, you'll appear in any shape. It doesn't have to be a circle. It can be a funny shape. It can be a star and you will be inside that and the rest will be all transparent. I can post some links later on for you for such kind of things. And I had created one scene with a circle, but I don't know... I must have deleted that scene and I don't know where the resource is. But you can do it, yes. When you created Countdown Timer, you didn't create scene even directly to source. No, again, Countdown Timer is nothing but... Countdown Timer is nothing but... Let me share for you the screen first of all. So we are here in the scene, in OBS... Share screen... Screen one. Okay, so we are back in this scene. So in this scene, for example, I want to put a Countdown Timer. Let's say my training is only for 10 minutes and after 10 minutes I want to stop. All I have to do is, again, go to that scene, this Canva training, add a source, a text source, right? And the source is a text. The Countdown Timer is nothing but a text. And remember, I had already created before, but if I want to create from... Again, also it's fine, but just say Countdown Timer, sorry, plus text source, Countdown Timer, existing one. And so this is the Timer, right? It's just a text which has been linked to the script and then it will appear like this. So now the audience can see the Countdown Timer, the trainer can see the Countdown Timer, he has nine minutes left, and yeah, that will create that impact that you want. Is that answer your question? Yeah, so it's just a text source that you linked to a script and then you've brought it here. Clock, again, I used... For the clock, I used a website. You go to any website which shows a clock and use the browser source. Okay, let me show you how that works. For example, look for any... Go to Google and see Online Clock. And let's say Online Alarm Clock, whichever I do. So I want to show this one, right? This black with these colors. Fine, all you have to do is onlineclock.net, copy that link, control C, come to OBS. Add a source to your scene. Let me go back to my browser. Let's say I'm... Where is Canva gone? Oh, sorry. Yeah, canva.com. And let's say I add plus and see browser source. And this time I'll say Online Clock. Online Clock number two. Let's say this is another online clock. And the browser source is onlineclock.net. Type the URL in this page here. Click OK. And it brought that source. Okay, it is coming. Oh, the black is transparent, I guess. Anyway, alt and resize it. All sides, keep what you want. And move it around here. So you have your clock. You have your countdown timer. You have your camera with your green screen removed. You have your Canva and you are now delivering a very engaging training. Talking to the audience, speaking to them. It's not just sharing screen anymore. So when I stop the sharing now and you are looking at my screen now, I'm delivering training using the camera view, but not just camera. You have all these elements inside it. So when you look at my content, you are looking at me, you are looking at all of those sources that I have placed in the scene and you are looking at that scene. Okay. There is a question from Mandar Mehdi. Can you, can you please explain how to change the PowerPoint slides from OBS? I had mentioned it earlier. You have to go to PowerPoint and keep changing the slides in PowerPoint. And when you do it in PowerPoint, automatically OBS will change it and it will appear in Zoom. Another question from Taufi Qadar. Can we use OBS using someone else's video on Zoom? Yes, you can do it. And in fact, if you want to have like an interview where somebody connects to your this thing, let's say using Skype or something like that, you can, again, you bring that source, you crop how much you want, you place it on your canvas as you have seen, and then that is what will appear in your OBS. But I would need to know the specific source from where you want to pick up that video from. And then you can bring it as one of the elements in your scene. Rashmi Raghav is not able to see the options on how OBS, that is the Scene Sources Tax Fund. Can you share your screen, Rashmi? We have another 10 minutes so we can have a conversation for those who would like to allow, I will now allow you all to unmute yourself so you can ask the questions and Rashmi will now start sharing her screen. Thank you, sir. I'm sharing my screen now. This is how I can see and I'm not able to upload the video and how to choose it. It looks like you have rearranged the windows because you can see the sources for scenes. Can you just move the sources on the right side? Yeah, sure, sir. You have undocked it, I think. Like this? Yeah. And sir, I'm able to click on... Yeah, it's there. So you can see the scenes. You have a camera only scene, you have a video background and as you click on it, the sources will show you on the sources tab. So you can see the video background. I want to upload a video and I want to use myself on this screen. So how to proceed from now? Yeah, so now you have a video background as a scene, right? And in that, you have only one source, which is your laptop camera. Now at the sources, there is a plus sign at the bottom. Click on that plus sign and choose what you want. You want a video? That's a media source. Do you have a video on your PC? Yes, sir, I have. Okay, give a name to this media source first. What is it? Just give a name that you will remember. Okay, PC. Okay, great. Canva video, say okay. No, not existing, create new. Okay, okay. Again, I need to go there. No, no, just say media source. Canva video. And click, okay, do not click on the ad existing. Just say, okay. When you click, okay, it will give you an option to browse your PC. You got it? Yes, yes. Let us see, let all the participants see how you have picked up. Okay. Okay. Sir, like this, I have this video. Select it, we will check it out. And when you select the video, the first important thing is the loop is very important. Click on the loop. Okay, okay. And say, okay, right. It has, it is too big, right? You can resize it or just right click on it. Right click on it and say. Surround the video, okay. Yeah, just right click. Transform. Okay, transform, okay. Yeah, there it is. Fit to screen. Okay. And so if I want to come on this screen, then. Yeah. Now your camera has gone behind, right? So click on the laptop camera. And. And use that up arrow at the bottom. There is plus minus. Yeah. Just move it up. Okay. Okay. Okay. Perfect. Right. So now you can resize your camera. Keep it wherever you want. And you have seen a big round of applause. Right. Thank you, sir. For figuring out a video background and a scene. And now she's ready for who else. Thank you. Samuel Jensen. How to set up a countdown timer using text. Let me do it one more time for those. Because countdown timer actually uses a script. So the way I will do it is let me share again. Share screen. And. And let me set up a new countdown timer, not the one which I've already created. So in the same scene, I will add one more countdown timer here. And the way I will do it is plus. Text. Okay. And this time I'll call it countdown timer number two countdown. I'll give a name. Countdown timer two. Okay. And how I want it to be appearing. Let's say I want it like this. Zero. I typed it and said, okay. And where is it? It's. Resize it. Very. Change the color. Let me make it, let's say. Blue color. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Look at what the mountains are actually doing here. Liu color. So properties and font color right? Select color. Let's make it. Something like this blue. So that's my countdown time. Nothing is happening. Right. So I put a text, I've made the size the way I want it. I want me to, the way I want to see it, like, 00 like that. You go to scripts and there are only two scripts available, the countdown timer and let's say how much duration countdown timer you want, let's say you want 30 minutes, duration in minutes 30 and say I want it in, maybe because it can only have one timer at one time. So yeah, it doesn't make sense to have two countdown timers in one scene, right? So let me change that to tools, script, what happened to my text? Because I already have a countdown timer, I'm unable to, but it's basically scripts and you should be able to see that text here, I can't see it in this scene for some reason. Oh, okay, there it came, countdown timer two, it's OBS file. And see now, when I linked that text to that script, it started 30 minutes countdown timer for me here and that's it. It will keep running and at 30 minutes, I know it will become zero, zero, zero, zero. So you got it. I hope that explains, yeah, okay, Shashank has a question, he says, currently I'm unable to live stream the OBS in Zoom. Could you explain how to do it again? Live stream? Yeah, yes, sir. This is Shashank here, can I share my screen please? Okay. Yes, sir. But sir, you have to stop sharing your screen. Yeah, okay. And have I given the security, let me stop the sharing one minute and I'll give options for you to share the screen. Hello. Yeah, you can share. Yes, sir. Thank you. I'm sharing my screen. So I think my screen is visible now, sir. So sir, when I am, I think, let me annotate so it will be easy for you all. First of all, by the way, Shashank, you don't have OBS Studio 26. That's why you don't see the virtual camera. You have to change, uninstall and install OBS Studio 26. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry for this inconvenience. Not sorry. I'm just saying, it just means that you knew OBS before, right? So that's why you can't see the start virtual camera because that option was added in OBS Studio 26 onwards. Okay, sir. Okay. I'm sorry for this, sir. Okay. No, but your question was related to that or was it related to live streaming? Yeah, live streaming, sir. I have to see about the live streaming to see about the just a minute. So to see about the live streaming, sir, I'm starting the live streaming, but it's asking me, are you sure you want to start the stream? So yes, I'm giving a yes to it. So after giving a yes, it's not in this Zoom, it's asking me that. Okay. So the streaming is a different topic because you need to set up the stream keys like how we do in Zoom. There is a separate section for streaming using OBS. And I don't want to confuse the other participants about streaming, but streaming requires you to go to the settings and then define the stream key for whether it's YouTube, whether it's Facebook and then set it up. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yes, sir. Yeah. Thanks a lot, sir. I'm sorry. But I see that you have already done a lot of things so I can expect you also to give some really powerful presentations in the coming. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we will. I love what Daksha Gulaycha has done. She is playing around as I'm speaking. Now she has put a clock and I can see that she's one hour ahead of me, 9.24. Where are you from, Daksha? He's saying that he's a... Sir, I'm a boy actually. Okay. I'm from Muscat. Muscat, yeah. One hour. Okay. Yeah. So Santosh also has created scenes, great scene one and scene two. So everyone is practicing and I'm happy to see that and any other questions? District 1242 Rupmati has question not related to OBS at the beginning of this workshop when I was in the waiting room. I saw Toastmasters logo and a waiting room logo, a waiting room message. How was that done? Waiting chat to waiting room, but now did not send a picture, but how did you send? That is a setting in Zoom, which allows you to configure your waiting room with the logo and any other special messages. So in the Zoom settings, if you go to Zoom and settings, there is a place where you can go and configure your waiting room. Your Jonathan has a question. After setting up all, how could we set virtual camera to stream at good quality? First of all, you need the streaming part is all dependent upon the internet connection, right? So as long as you have a good internet connection, Zoom will automatically take care of the quality. So if your camera is having higher resolution and then the Zoom finds that your stream, the connection is not strong enough, it will automatically lower the quality of your camera. And it will tell the participants, there is a low connection, low bandwidth. That's how that is all done by Zoom, not by us. Okay. Any other questions? We are three minutes remaining. Sir, how can we save our already prepared scenes so we can use that next time? Is there any option to? No, by default, whatever you create is saved. Okay. Okay. Because when I'm closing the window and it's asking, OBS is currently active. All streams recording will be shut down. Are you sure? Yeah, don't worry. When you open OBS once again, all your scenes that you had created will be there. You don't have to save anything. You don't have to save anything. It's just always there. Okay. Thank you, sir. So I am very happy to see the amount of interaction and your propensity to practice and try it out as we were seeing and demonstrated to us. And those of you who are still a little uncomfortable, all I can say is go ahead, try it out. You know, play around with it, reach out and because OBS is, as I said, it's something like a Swiss Army knife. You need to sort of play around with it. And as you explore more and more, you will see that you can do so many things. Maybe we can have a WhatsApp group where we can share such ideas like how we have for branding. And that is something we can consider because a lot of questions will always come. How do I, what I get this error or how do I progress? And so maybe we can help each other with that. I am done. Any other questions or I will now close my YouTube stream.
