Repeat this for every place in the gallery of pinned Zoom participants, and move each source to the right place in the OBS window.Īs a finishing touch, you could add a background image as an overlay. In my last blog post, I talked about ways to share your content through OBS using a virtual camera. Select the source, right-click on it, select “Filters.” In the new window, click “+”, select “Crop/Pad”, and adjust the values for Left, Top, Right, and Bottom until only the participant in question is shown. As exciting as it is to stream or record your content with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), it can be even better with other participants in the video stream which can be done by using a green screen. Next, we want to add a filter to each of those sources to show only a certain part of the window.
With some effort, you can not just assign positions of your participants on the screen, you can also add fancy borders and backgrounds to your video stream. It has been especially popular among role play gamers who streamed their games online. Techniques to accomplish this have been around for years. This way, you can, for example, show your main speakers (or singers) prominently and your other participants on the side–just like you would assign seats to the audience and to your speakers or singers on the stage. Instead of sending your camera picture directly to Zoom, you send it to this software which edits your image, and forwards that image to Zoom. The solution is to use a software to control your appearance, and have it act like a virtual camera. The problem here of course is that the only options Zoom provides you to control your own image is to select a camera.

This way, you are in full control of what they are seeing. The solution to this problem is to tell the participants to switch their Zoom to your image and set it to full screen. Your participants control what and how they see your Zoom call.
