Thanks for increasing my focal length on the PowerPoint
Thank you, Cat. Great presentation. I love your style. Very natural and open, with plenty of enthusiasm to go with your great voice and infectious smile. It beats me why someone would give you a thumbs down for this. As a newbie to OBS, I have encountered many frustrations, but your videos always bring clarity. I will definitely use this technique with my presentations.🤙🏼😊
Cat, you are simply the best IMO. Thank you for sharing and for always striving to provide resources for excellence... especially in my case, a ‘newbie’ to this, however, I believe I’m coming along swiftly. It’s primarily your attitude that is so engaging and comforting when providing information. Again, a BIG thank you.

Glad to hear you are coming along swiftly!
Cat, love how you present with enthusiasm. You are the BEST!!!
Thank you for showing how useful image masks are in OBS.
This was so awesome, thank you - and the replay looks fine, no issues!!!
Thank you so much for your videos and I only wish I discovered your videos sooner but I’m so glad that the wealth of information on here is really filling in everything I was trying to learn on my own. I am using OBS for learning experiences not gaming or church service so this is so much more related to what I’m doing. I got a course on Udemy that’s pretty good but this is giving me so much more applicable detail and exposure to other methods of adding or integrating other software. I also so appreciate you like myself are used to keeping a smile on and moving on when things are going ‘horribly’ wrong while you’re delivering live! That is so quintessential to any live performer👏😆 you are fantastic and thank you so much for these helpful videos!
Thank you so much. Very helpful tutorial. If anyone is doing this in Canva, just place your picture in a 1920x1080 design. Choose a full shape, not an outline. Then follow what she does in the video. Super easy. Now I'm making a bunch of different masks.
This is the best OBS camera overlay tutorial! Thank you!
Wow. So simple explanation and to the point. Thank You
Thank you so much, it is clean and simple. I used canva circle to do this. And then download and add it to obs.
Thanks, great tutorial. Easy to follow and I'm already recommending it to other people.
You are a great teacher. I can and will do this.
Thanks for this. I didn't watch the stream but, the replay was perfect. Great good info.
I found this tutorial very helpful, thank you for this AMAZING content!

The screenshot tip is a game changer. Excellent tutorial. Thanks so much.

Hey Cat!!! This is another awesome video. I copied some of your tricks and the name tag and OBSed with Zoom. It stunned the participants with live scenes. Thanks for the tips. 😍😍😍😍
Great video. Thanks Cat 😺!
Thanks for the guide, it worked like a charm :) Just one tip from the viewer which I found it surprisingly useful. Just press alt (windows) and cut the camera scene from sides so you can shrink the size of the scene and better control your video.
Thank you... that was amazing... Works like a dream !! 😉👌
Very Helpful. Thanks.

Thanks Cat this video saved my life!
Thanks for a great video! You did great keeping your cool while having all these internet problems - it was not even noticable. From what I know, the internet uses what we call non-deterministic protocols. Therefore, no matter how fast your computer/modem/internet speed is, there is always the possibility of a delay, which causes buffering. The internet and devices have become so fast that the protocols have become almost irrelevant, but we do get the occasional delay. It's like buying a faster car in the hopes of getting to places faster; This works most of the time when the highway is less congested. But, if you do end up in rush hour traffic, it is possible that you might get delayed.
Immense Gratitude from India. Dear Cat, Thanks a lot for sharing . Your passion for sharing with masses - is there any word above wonderful!

perfect
your smile is very captivating. it is making me fall in love. Nice tutorial . thank you
You are fantastic
very very nice
Thanks for the great tutorials! If I have a scene with a masked webcam, can I also have a scene with a full screen webcam (no mask)? It seems like the mask is applied to the webcam and not the scene.
Yes, I am super grateful to the developers of OBS for creating high end software for free, but wonder if their is a reason why they don't seem to give OBS the ability to do circular shapes...even when cropping. Great tutorial!
Cat, I really like your tutorials. Do you know how to incorporate Powerpoint Slides and a way to scroll through them in OBS. The only way I found was to save all the PP slides as images and then use them as an image show, which is not the same as being able to use the scroll buttons in PP which I would prefer.
Great Video. Thank you. Is the circular camera also possible in Ecamm Live?
Cool
your smiling is better than your topics. god bless you. take care.
Nice
This was a great tutorial. My question is when you apply the image mask filter to the camera source, it seems that no matter what scene you add that source to the mask would be applied. So in order to switch between the video with the image mask and the full screen video you need two cameras? Is that correct? Thanks.
Hi Cat, I stumbled upon your channel and I am so glad I did. Awesome stuff. I have a question that I’m sure others may have, do you find any resistance to having zoom participants switch from gallery to speaker view? I understand the impact of presenting with virtual cameras, however I feel customers I am presenting to can be a bit hesitant being pushed to a different process. Thanks.

I have not found that to be a problem myself, although most of my presentations use share screen (I share my 'production' through Zoom's screen share), which puts the focus on the presentation anyway.
Can you include the border with the mask? ie: blue circle around the white/black definition?
Hey Cat, great video. I have a simple question, how did you get your video to come out of the from from OBS? When I drag my camera source outside of the frame in OBS, you can no longer see it. When I got to windows projector, I see the form from windows. What did you do to get yours to pop out? I am not sure I am that clear but I think its a good start. Basically, I want to minimize OBS, record my screen, and see myself in the video without the ugly border lol. Thanks
Hi Cat, thank you again for sharing this topic. Very helpful - and it works ... For one of your next tutorials: how you get the chat comments on your (OBS-)screen? And can you tell us about using music into the streaming (where to get and license)? Greetings from Germany.

Hi Stefan, I use Ecamm Live to stream to KZread, which is how I post live comments. It doesn't look like there is an OBS plug-in for posting comments in OBS, though I saw some people have work-arounds that are a bit more complicated. I can share about music, though! I'll add it to my content list. For now, I can share that I'm actually using copyright-free music from KZread's audio library.

Thanks, I tried that and it worked. But the filter continues to appear on other scenes where I did not want the circle. Did I miss a step?
Awesome video, thanks. I noticed you had a nice way of displaying comment from attendees on OBS screen. Do you have a video on this?

I'm using Ecamm Live to stream to KZread, and the comment feature is built-in. Based on an initial search, it doesn't look there is a plug-in readily available for OBS to do the same. There seem to be some work-arounds, but I haven't tried any myself.

What is that double camera and how were you able to have it and how did you get rid of it?
Hi Im not getting Effect Filters option on OBS. Pl. help. Thanks..
How you can view your camera and make tutorials with obs, is there any other software?
I use streamlab obs it will work? Too
Super helpful, thank you! Question…is there a way to quickly “hide” filters? As in, if I want to go back to my full camera, do I have to delete the mask filter entirely? When I make a new scene, my camera still has the circle mask.

What camera are you using to film yourself here
Are you also having issues with removing filters with OBS causes OBS to crash? I mean when you try to remove a filter?
Hi Cat, I love the circle overlay. Great tutorial. Tried this. I have just one cam. I have 3 scenes with myself in them. The image mask once applied to the camera is affecting all of the scenes. I am in the circle everywhere. Tried duplicating cam but the result is the same. Maybe I am doing it wrong. or I just need a second cam.

Great question! Try adding a new camera source. For example, if my circle pip is Sony, I can add Sony 2 as a new source. It will show up without the image mask. At least, it did when I tested it!
