OBS STUDIO AS A STREAMING TOOL

Assalamualaikum everyone.

This week I have been given a task to use OBS Studio software as a tools for editing our visual screen during streaming. OBS Studio can be consider as the Adobe Photoshop for streaming. Have you ever seen gamer who streaming that show the camera of themselves with the screen that they use to play the game at the same time? Most probably almost all of the streamers are using the OBS studio during streaming.

Example of video streaming using two display at the same scene

Besides gamer, there are few teachers and educators using this kind of streaming as well during their lessons.

This is such a great technology and skills that can be used for educator like me in order to create good visual to be share with students during class. 

Actually, I have never know about OBS Studio before and have been wondering how these people can create this kind of streaming. I was pretty sure the technique that they use are very difficult. Suddenly during previous class my lecturer Ms Aimi teach our lesson and using the same kind of technique. So, I spark a question to Ms Aimi on how did she create that kind of technique.

So this week Ms Aimi have introduce us with OBS Studio and based on what she had taught us, I have seen this software is quite easy and convenience. Even for a beginner like me can use this software efficiently.

Unfortunately, I have installed the OBS Studio in my MARA laptop but I have problem in open up the software. I am not sure what happen my be some sort of security have been set up in my laptop for the security purpose.

Hence, I decided to install it in my desktop PC that I have in my home. However, the PC that I used in my home does not equipped with webcam. I have purchased a webcam in Shopee and will arrived in next week because the webcam was shipped from China.

So far, this is the result from my exploration on OBS Studio. 

From this visual I have connect with the OBS Virtual Cam where this visual can be used as my camera display during my meeting in Google Meet.

I can't wait to use this technology during my class. I hope by using this technique will improve my delivery in class and can increase the attention given by my students.

Thank you Ms Aini for introducing us this wonderful software!
