Alternate title: How to go from $80 setup to $300 setup in less than 10 seconds.
Facts it's never easy.
300? More like 1000
LOL
I immediately stopped watching when he basically said... if you buy a DSLR then your video will be better. idiot
Yeah. I really thought he would make adjusments on the white balance, and some tips on lighting. This is just ridiculous
Don't forget the step where you record yourself sitting there for a couple minutes, and then create a scene that loops this recording. Way better than sitting through all those boring meetings :)
😂 great tip!
Matt is a genius !!!!
😂😂😂
I always do this 🤣
♥️ *Ha!*
When he said "life is starting to slowly go back to normal" I thought "yup, hehe. nope." Thanks for the video!!
Haha..me too😂😂😂
Why do you need any plugins for OBS, i thought it can do this out of the box?
Depends where you live I guess. Here things have been normal for months.
This video needs to go viral. All the educational institutions and non profit organizations, or whoever using zoom for their work platform these days. They need to watch this video.
I had to go through lots of videos to learn how to do this and you sir explained it pretty easily in ten minutes. I couldn't find how to play a playlist for sports classes so I thank you for this.
yes
it's actually 10 mins and 2 secs...
Same here 😊
And here I am impressing my students with my gamer headphones. I wish I had the energy to make this happen. Thank you, maybe if this continues next year I’ll come back to this. Love, peace and look after ourselves.
Thanks for putting this together. I wasn't aware of OBS Studio, but am quite aware of the need for it. With the help of your video, it should be pretty easy to get it set up and working and make those video conferences much better.
This is a fantastic, easy to understand, and to the point tutorial. One of the best on the internet.
Thanks Tom!
Title should say: Enhance your video quality changing your camera and mic and reserve 2hrs before the meeting to configure the stuff
Thanks Tom. Totally with you. I improved my Zoom calls with soft LED light and connecting my T2i to my Macbook but your video inspired not to procastinate further and implement OBS. Better control and creative options. Cheers
Dear Tom, once again a great presentation. Thank you.
Tom, your video instruction ROCKS! Works on the first try! Thank you so much. 👍😁 Now all my video and audio will look and sound amazing. My Logitech C920 Webcam never made me look so good until now. Having a wireless iPhone for video camera using iVcam is so amazing. The ultimate setup. Thanks again.
Thank you :) that virtual audio cable really helps with filtering out random noise
It's looking fantastic! Great job. 100 times better. I think the light and sound is the most important but the camera will probably help the lighting as well and not have that auto-exposure from web-cam. You can set an exposure and Depth of Field etc.
Brilliant! - Simply put, clear step by step explanation. I didn't know it would be this easy. Thanks Tom
Great tutorial Tom! Thanks for explaining it in good detail
Thank You a lot! Until 10 minutes ago I was pretty sure that OBS was useful only for streamers on TH-cam and Twitch. But now I have a new point of view. Very good tutorial.
Another great video Tom. I love how you cut to the chase and show the physical detail of everything you present. I have been asked to livestream an event and have never done that in my professional career. There is a lot more to it than I thought but I am going to borrow a Blackmagic ATEM Mini for it. OBS is a great option though and apparently if your laptop can handle it you can use it to switch between a couple of cameras.
A truly excellent video! I have been using ecamm, which is great but I couldn’t get it to work that well with zoom. I shall start playing tomorrow! Many thanks!
I just tried it and it works really well! Thank you so much for making the efforts to upload this video!
I believe this is one of the best Zoom instructional videos available in the World. Thank you.
One issue you’ll face with zoom is resolution. You will see your content (camera, lower thirds, slides, etc) in OBS looking great but when you get them into Zoom through the virtual camera, the resolution is bad. This is because Zoom does not support HD 1080p video at the moment, due to the pandemic. So keep that in mind.
that was my question also. its ok when I direct present, but through OBS its fuzzy and useless. I reached out to Zoom support, but obviously nothing. You say "due to the pandemic", does that mean they have announced something?
I’m agree , the video resolution very bad from another participant, also when you open power point from obs to zoom 🤣
This is AMAZING! Thank you so much for this quick and clear video
This blew my mind! I didn't know this existed! Thank you! Hugs from Mexico! 💯
Omg !! Wowwwww!!!!!!!! This is the most helpful video on TH-cam thank you I’m so grateful 💜💜💜💜💜💜
♥️ _Huh... !_
*Learned something new (and invaluable) today.*
Thank you, Tom.
Thanks for the Tips! Very Helpful!
Thanks Tom! Incredible instructive for me.
Thank you very much for the excellent tutorial. Just a question, ¿does OBS work with Teams?
Excellent info, and very helpful. Thanks! 👌
Super helpful and great timing! Thanks Tom! I’m working on setting up a rig for a virtual conference and have been trying to figure this stuff out. Do you know of a good lav mic to plug into the Rode transmitter so I don’t have to connect the whole box to my presenter/talent?
Hi, yes use this lav mic that you can find on Amazon amzn.to/2ZZSYjJ or also on B&H bhpho.to/2W9Ld9O
Great video!! Thank you for making it so much easier to understand.
Fantastic tutorial! One of the best I have come across on the internet. I searched on how to improve Zoom conferencing for weeks now. I don't know why, but in the past few weeks, your video never came up on TH-cam search. This would've saved me so much time if I found it earlier.
That was neat, do you in your current config bind these intros, vids, and endings to a stream deck or do you manually click it in OBS?
This is awesome, thank you. i’m using my Fujifilm X-T2 and it works great thanks again.
Hi Tom, you did you colour grade your live stream?
Thanks for sharing
Really helpful information. Will get to work on this...
Excellent Info Packed Video, very useful. THANK YOU!!!
This really helped me. Going to Implement all of these things today
you are my new guru, thank you man, liked and suscribed
Thank you mate. This is fantastic.
Very good video , simple and informative !!
Thank you!, subbed!
Excellent video tutorial. Thank you 👌🏼
Awesome! Particularly like the pre-roll capabilities, great foe 'presentation' will be starting shortly' kind of content.
Great video! Don't forget you can add VST audio plugins in OBS to enhance the sound. Also, OBS let's you offset your audio source in milliseconds for syncing with the video. An alternative virtual audio driver is source-nexus free, but only available for Mac.
Thanks, Tom! I’m a high school teacher, and this will definitely help make my lessons look more professional. What kinds of lights do you use? My kit gets to be about 1000 degrees, so I’m looking for something cheap that won’t get too hot.
If you have a desktop get a better heatsink or replace thermal paste to sort out cooling
Here is a very affordable lighting option www.amazon.ca/dp/B08L4MT463/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_Rvi7FbWYXSFGQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
This is a good video. What's the 35mm equivalent focal length you're using, and how far are you from the camera? How far is it from you to the far wall/background? I have a room where I can put the camera 6' away with a background that is 6' away, and even at f/2.8 on a Micro Four Thirds sensor I can't get the DoF.
Thank you ☺️
WOW Great video! this is exactly what i was looking for. Thank you so much!!
Excelente, muchas gracias por compartir. No soy fan de usar zoom pero a veces uno quiere verse mejor cuando lo haces por trabajo o con los amigos.
Thanks for the explanation !
Any advice about a backgrounds? Distance? Colors? Lighting? I have the hardest time gettting a background that looks good to me. Cheers! Great vid.
Thank you. Very informative. 👍
Bro this was a really great walkthrough.
Thanks David
Loving your Bell & Howell 16mm projector in the background! :-)
Thank you ❤️ it solved my issue
Thank you...love from Canada
Really so pro. Thank you.
Beautiful! God bless you brother. This info is truly a blessing. Just Sub'd. God bless
Thank you, friend. Very informative.
Good info. Thanks, Tom. 👍
One of the best and to the point video on how to have better audio and video quality! Question though, will there be any lag in audio if we were to use external mic and camera?
Requires that you have both OBS Studio and Zoom running at same time. There was no advantage of using OBS with Zoom unless you want to enhance your Zoom recording. Stick with regular Zoom settings. OBS Studio and Streamlabs OBS is for people who want to get their stuff "creative videos" on Twitch, You Tube or some other website. However, if you have a DSLR / EOS mirrorless camera such as Canon M50 or SONY A6000 with a RODE microphone or other mic., then using the Guide that Tom Antos provided will make a difference for beginners with more expensive equipment. I tried enhancing the use of my Logitech BRIO 4K webcam using this guide and it did not produce a better teleconferencing experience or any difference than using Zoom by itself. However, Tom does deserve credit as there is some benefit to watching and following this guide/ tutorial. Thank you! and be safe.
Excellent video! Thank you!
Amazing!! Thank you so much!!!
hi, thanks for very informative video. very helpful. I am trying to use DSLR D3100 but the red square while recording is not disappearing, do you have any advise? thanks
This is all great, only issue is I am not making any money at the moment so Mac cam and daylight is what im working with!
Really useful, thanks!
Thank you very much for your post , I’m
Now elated to be able to start to use OBS
thank you so much for this tutorial thank you so much
Great suggestions, very well done.
Collect some scenes for business use, and some alternates for the virtual happy hours. Fun.
Am I missing something? Zoom only lets you share video at 1280 resolution. It's doesn't do fhd.
what a great video .. this was so helpful !!
oh man many thanks!!!
nice tutorial. Question about quality of video on the receiving end of zoom conference calls. Doesn't zoom limit the quality / resolution of the video that is being shown, in order to preserve the bandwidth for the two/multiway conversation that happens there? As a result, isn't there limits on how well the video will look on zoom, given these limitations? I can imagine how the video for recorded stuff will look great, limited only by your own machine and parameters, but wondering how much zoom limits the production value? For example, that camera you talk about is a really nice one - can someone on zoom tell the difference if I'm using that vs. say a gopro?
Thanks for sharing. In addition, I am using NDI Tools which is free. It can bring live video from my smart phone via the network into OBS as a second video source so I now I can switch between 2 different camera angles.
Thank you for this video.
Includes great informations for beginners like me.,feel like gold🥳🥳🥳
Excellent video and details.
Question:
Using Zoom: My live video on the screen has motion blur. I made the camera setting change to HD (did not help) and just checked my Fios internet speed and it says it is very fast. (111.5 Download, 92.6 upload). I am using a high end ASUS laptop (Quad i7s,16GB Ram, dedicated graphics card, SSD drive, IPS display, etc) and using the built in ASUS Gaming laptop's camera. My wife's laptop cameras on an older Dell and her Macbook Air look really good, but not on my pretty robust ASUS? Any suggestions. The motion blur looks terrible. Great video. Thanks.
Phil....
The OBS Studio information was really interesting but the stated premise of the video was a little misleading because the most important thing you did to enhance your video and audio quality involved buying a video camera, big light, and headphones with a good quality built-in mic, all of which are definitely not free, and probably overkill for the basic video conferencing that I and others like me do.
It wasnt misleading. You saw what you wanted to see.
@@COLE_PRODUCTIONS at 1:15 in the video you state clearly that you will show us how to do a "simple and free upgrade to improve the quality."
@@benkpeltz and he immediately followed that up with what he meant. The hardware aspect of the video were suggestions. I guess common sense isn't all that common.
@@COLE_PRODUCTIONS good luck getting anywhere near the improvements that he got without the hardware upgrades. I'm not upset by it. I genuinely found the video interesting. But including the free claim in the hook is definitely misleading. 🤷♂️
you can use your hp camera and there are tutorials for it as well. cant expect to be spoonfed all the time
supercool! VERY helpful!!!
*Which zoom versions allow an external DSLR camera?* I can’t even seem to change the video settings on my zoom [5.0.2 I think]. It lags and doesn’t even show the laptop webcam. It’s just black.
Great video, lots of effort, really appreciate it
Thank you!
Fantastic! Now all I need is money. Wish I could enhance that first.
Thank you!
Very useful thanks
"how to enhance zoom conference just by...buying new stuff"
Or not…
I spent hours trying to figure this out in OBS when Zoom got popular. Who knew you needed a whole plugin to use the virtual cam feature? Thank you!!!
Virtual Camera is now part of the base package for OBS. All you need to do now is click on Start/Stop Virtual Camera over near the start Streaming and settings button area.
Yes, Virtual amera is now part of the core program in v. 26 release. And it works very well! But it still doesn’t output audio, unfortunately. So the virtual audio cable is still needed.
@@oneiropagides342 not 100% true, provided audio settings in OBS are set properly, and computer audio is “joined” in zoom, it will send thru audio just fine without the need of the virtual audio plugin. I do not have virtual audio cable plugin installed and my audio routes from the OBS virtual camera just fine.
Great video. Thank you.
Me
Watching the title : Yes
Watching the whole video : Nope
Thanks Tom - that was the best video how to Enhance Your ZOOM Video Conferencing Qualityn - All thebest
Under tools I have NDI output settings Checked to "Main.Output". Your drop down selections are all different than mine. First, for monitoring with ear buds, second, the virtual A B show up as two different selections, which one to choose for playing music on the background? When I do try your settings, it messes up all my settings that already work
For mister anyone, which is most of us, the default image is fair enough.
We don't care for image quality that much.
Now sure if you want to look "pro" and or make videos, that's a bunch of nice enhancements.
I came here out of curiosity. Might come in handy one day.
Thanks Tom for the informative content, does OBS work with GoToWebinar and MS Teams? Also does it slow ones laptop down alot? Or Internet? Don't want it to cause lag
Obs will work with any program that uses webcam. It wont slow down your internet but can freeze your computer if you have an old one. But all the current entry and mid level laptops will handle it no problem
It is very useful, thank you.
Is it necessary to use an virtual cable tool to use a mic when using OBS with Zoom or only if one wants to use additional sound sources? Because i am just looking for a tool to improve my webcam video since Zoom doesn't offer much video settings. So is it ok to just use OBS with virtual cam as a tool to adjust the video settings?
Thank you Tom Antos
Is OBS only useful for recording a presentation for Zoom, or can it be used to enhance the look and sound of live interactions during Zoom? From you introduction about frustrating low-quality tele-fitness classes, it seemed like the latter, but then it morphed into "How to record a presentation" for Zoom.
I think you should rewatch it bcause it's not about recording a presentation. I get it. It seem a little bit confusing.
You often use the phrase "your presentation" which leads a viewer to think that you're describing how to prepare a recorded presentation. Is it more accurate to say that OBS gives you the means of creating and controlling an "environment" that can be used for broadcasting, live streaming and videoconferencing? One of the biggest problems I've faced is the distracting lag between audio and video. Can OBS help minimize the lag?
Hello, Can you help me with the setup for desktop audio please ? You skip the configuration ... which source I need to choose ? thank you sir
