In addition, you can remove the background behind you altogether and overlay yourself over your livestream footage. Alternatively, you can replace your background with a still image. You can add a blur to make the background appear out of focus. This means you can remove your background without using a green screen.

The latest update to OBS now includes NVIDIA Broadcast’s AI-powered virtual backgrounds. It’s also just launched version 28.0 of the program and added native integration of some of the features from NVIDIA Broadcast. If you keep the Teams installer handy and local to your machine, you can do it all in 2mins.Popular streaming software Open Broadcast Studio (OBS) is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. No need for a reboot, no need to reinstall either OBS or OBS Virtual Camera. The solution I found, after several goes, is really simple if a bit annoying. It does show a new source called COMPOSITE VIDEO which merely APPEARS to work and give the OBS feed in the video preview in SETTINGS in TEAMS, however it does not then translate to actually working in the meeting! When this occurs other participants just see a black screen or the LOGITECH logo if you then select the LOGICAPTURE software (when using a logitech camera and the software in tandem to zoom in) as the webcam source in an effort to get video working. However, whilst this works I regularly get a problem where Teams no longer recognises the existence of the OBS Virtual Cam as the webcam source. Just very very convincing fakery.Īnd now in a working office with moving people My last Teams conference with an external customer led him to think I was actually in a working office, but I reassured him that it was all fakery. A Youtuber has done a rather good video on how to use the two.

However, this is where OBS Studio and OBS Virtualcam come in. Nice if Teams had these features, it doesn't though. Put tother they allow you to look like you are in a busy office, or a cafe or by the pool (see image). Video backgrounds are precisely that, a moving backdrop. Greenscreen would give you far better edges when moving your hands in the camera or even just around your headphones, if you have a proper GREENSCREEN as a backdrop, a worthy investment during this pandemic I feel. However the backgrounds were rather limited and did not support either proper GREENSCREEN or VIDEO BACKGROUNDS. Initially my company used just the voice and chat feature but more and more, particularly during the pandemic, we have been turning on our cameras to see our colleagues that we can no longer meet in the office or at events. Been using Teams for months now and on the whole its been good for both internal and external communications.
