To resize/rearrange sources in the scene, click onto the source in the preview so it has a red outline, drag from the middle of the source to reposition and use the square resizing handles (corners and midway along each side) to resize.ĭid you see the noise by my shoulder in the scene above – the grey flecks? It was then just a matter of resizing and repositioning the webcam feed to fit in with the background. To create this scene, I create a new scene, added the exisitng webcam as the first source then the image as the second source.

As far as OBS is concerned most images and image format seem to work fine. The background image is a PowerPoint slide saved as a picture. My next scene included a logos background. Now you can create other scenes using the same video source and the green screen filter will be applied.

Adjust the settings so you green screen disappears and the image colour is to your liking.

In your preview window you should now see your camera minus the green screen, as green is the default Chroma Key.

In Effect Filters click + and choose Chroma Key, give it a name a press OK.

Add the green screen filter by right clicking on the video source and choosing Filters.

You can change the setting, but I haven’t needed to.

Click + at the bottom of the Sources pane (bottom left), choose Video capture device, enter a name to refer to the webcam and click OK.

Click + at the bottom of the Scene pane (bottom far left), enter the scene name and click OK.

(please excuse the messy Sunday me, in the images) I started with one called Just Me which was only the webcam and this is the basis of my other scenes.

With the software ready to go you can add your first scene. Lastly, I suggest working in Studio Mode, so you only have one screen to work with.

Download and install OBS Virtual Cam from Go to Download button is towards the top right of the page.I cancelled the auto set up and have the settings shown below, with everything else left as default. However if you don’t have a preferred live streaming service to log in to, you cant complete the wizard. The instructions suggest you run a wizard.

My set up is a Surface Book with external monitor, Blue Yeti Microphone with a foam windscreen, a standard set of in ear headphones, Logitech C270 webcam, perched on top of my monitor and a freestanding greenscreen, plus OBS Studio and OBS Virtual Cam and Microsoft Teams (of course). Haven’t got as far a video backdrops yet, but that offers a whole host of other opportunities too. You do need the Virtual Cam plug in.Īfter getting started with the tools, I quickly realised I could bring more visual interest into my training, combining my video image with a presentation or screenshare including reducing the size of the video image for more efficient combinations.

Turns out it was a proper mixing studio/external encoder/virtual camera and on a variety of advice I went for OBS Studio and OBS Virtual Cam. So decided I need a green screen to improve the effect, but to get the effect I was after I need something more. The WhyĪfter eagerly awaiting the background effect in Microsoft teams, I was a little disappointed in the fuzzy edge effect, especially when adding custom images (see for how to).
