Being subbed to you is a gold mine of skill learning. Thank you Scott. Chroma-key on a PowerShell terminal is a decent use this tutorial made apparent.

Instead of stretching the window, there's a crop filter just like the chroma key one, so you can crop out all the corners you don't want :) Very clever idea!

Or you can crop the source by pressing Alt+dragging the borders

Every once in a while you see something in tech that makes you smile. This is one of those. I can't wait to do this next week. Thanks Scott.

Signs of a good developer, force yourself with every grain of power to use something off the shelf instead of coding it 🤣

Beware reinventing the wheel yes!

You can crop screens with ALT and the box points. Easier than to stretch a screen outside the box.

You mean use alt in OBS to crop an element?

Brilliant tip! Building ideas with your audience instead of presenting finished concepts (ppt slides) is the best way to maintain audience engagement. It also improves note taking outcomes for those on the receiving end! Now we can do it magnificently with Surface! Thank you Scott and Rob for taking the time to share!

And if you want to get crazy... Share the whiteboard live with the audience and see what happens! 🤣😂🤣

You're the best kind of teacher 😄 Well explained, creative and showing other people's work and ideas 👍

Scott, you inspire me to be a better communicator/developer. Your videos are great and concise. This gives you more bullets to your arsenal and now mine! Thanks

Thanks for sharing, Scott. Amazing trick!

Hope Our professors are able to do that

Wow, this is cool! Thanks for sharing, Scott!

Thanks for sharing this trick, very much appreciated m thanks to you I'm now using OBS pretty regularly

That is a freaking cool idea. Thanks for point it out Scott.

Nice! You can also crop it by holding Alt+dragging the corners/Side you want to crop.

Thank you for sharing, Scott - much appreciated!

Instead of removing the green with a chroma key you could remove the white or black background with a luma key... this way it wouldn't affect colors :)

A luma key? I will have to Google that. I am trying to do a similar thing with a PowerPoint presentation. I want some of it to be seen But the main back ground to be transparent

Really cool and simple way! Nice demonstration! Thank you

This is my new favorite channel. Subscribed, Liked and saved video for reference later.

You, sir gave me exactly what I was looking for for about 3 hours now. THANK YOU 👌👏🙏 you've got yourself a new sub from France :)

Awesome stuff! Thanks Scott for sharing! :)

This is coooool! thank for sharing this. It never occurred to me that this could be done :-)

I was wondering for a week how to write on glass. Interesting and this video came. Awesome..

Simple and efficient. Thanks for sharing!

This is awesome! Thanks Scott!

Thanks Scott, this is incredibly cool and something that I can definitely use with my Family Office clients!

as always, learned something really usefull. Thank you, Scott

I like this. And the idea of punching a hole through other windows and graphics.

Amazing hack. Going to be very useful and I am sure my students will be impressed!

Very cool. I'm excited to try this out.

Thanks for sharing this! Would love to do the lightboard but that's a static and serious investment so this helped a lot. You can do the same in OneNote (more green options) and as far as training goes, OneNote with presentations converted to PDF and then imported makes for a nice virtual training environment. Would be nice if WhiteBoard and OneNote had full custom color background options in future (you can dial it out with OBS I suppose). You can then also use the Virtual Camera addon for OBS to pipe this into Teams for example (so you have a virtual webcam and can then go between presenting your desktop sans webcam or webcam and this trick).

Really cool!! 😍

Just started to use OBS for teaching, this tip is absolute great

Did you see any tutorial for using OBS for teaching? I would love to include it on my classes!

@@Pameliux23 I saw some videos about how to use obs, not precisely one about how to teach. Mainly, I use obs to record my class, for example this kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2qnxo-RYrLaiLw.html (sorry is in Spanish) but that's the idea

Very smart, and here's a pro tip : chroma key works by using contrasting subject and background colours. It is typically green since that is tthe opposite of human skin tones. In this case, using a black background and a white pen might look best. It also allows you to change blending mode instead of keying, therefore get cleaner outline with less processing power :)

Hey Scott! Your videos are very useful, thanks for sharing 😀

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing

The thumbnail is 👌🏼 on point! 😂

cool stuff as always! thank you

Totally agree! That is a cool way of using OBS :-)

Great Scott, thank you.

That was awesome ! Thank you !

Scott "Bob Ross" Hanselman 😁 I will re-deliver in our team meeting ;)

This is All I wanted. Thankyou :)

Thanks for this incredible and usefull tips :)

Superbbbb Scott 👌

That's a neat trick!

Thanks for the tip Scott 👍

Great video and explanation, been looking for something like this! Question when you were writing can you see your OBS screen on whatever you writing on? Would be good if you can just have an initial reference point and then when you write on the screen it will become easier and natural.

Scott, THANK YOU for this. Perfect demonsatration. I've been trying to work this out for hours; trawled so many videos. Just couldn't get how to superimpose over the top of the background.

This is awesome!

3:05 ...could be OneNote 😉

Great idea!

Cool Idea!

Thank you man i loved this

Thanks for sharing, nice video. I'll try it

This is really cool! A question, since you mentioned you're using a Surface. I had been using OBS while teaching over Zoom, mostly with OneNote for presentation. I gave up because my Surface Pro 7 couldn't handle running Zoom, OBS, and OneNote at the same time! Have you been able to make it work? I've got the version with a Core i5 and 8 GB RAM because that's the best I can get on the budget my institution allows. I've been wondering if I just got a dud unit.

Please, could you tell me how can I make the background blurred using this technique? When I talk about background I telling all things behind the virtual board, including you. Thanks in advance.

Just one word Thanks Very nice liked it

So. Freakin. Cool!! Thanks for sharing!! 😍

merci Scott. Funny AND useful.

This is soooo cool.

Awesome!! TQVM!

Nice tip! Thank you!

Hi, I was just wondering if you were using the Surface connected to another monitor as your main computer or if your were casting from the surface to another computer for this! Great video, thanks!

@shanselman love this! I tried and works great BUT there’s so much you can write on the surface screen. Do you have any tips on making yourself a bit smaller and giving more space for the screen content? I found myself limited by the MS surface screen size

Any idea of how to add virtual pencil📝 to looks like your drive you back of you screen? PS: the pencil may appear(zoom in) when you actually touch the screen.

Thanks so much for sharing ❤️

This is great, I have no experience with these methods. Is it possible to turn the background black like the light board videos so the pen is more visible?

Super cool 😍

Cool video !!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

That's so cool.

Are you working on two separate devices? How would I be able to do that?

Great idea

Quick question: Is this two participants in the same web conf (one your main PC, one the Surface)? Or are you using OBS for multiple inputs on the same web conference? If it's the latter, how do you get the surface and the main PC to work together in OBS? TIA.

Amazing!! 😁

Great video, thank you very much!.. If Microsoft Whiteboard introduced a "glass" (transparent) background, that would really simplify things, wouldn't it?

Nice tip! Thanks

Good job, Awesome

Really smart! :)

You are a genius!

wow this is great

Neat! I might try and have the presenter be “faded” in the background. Basically let the chroma key not be 100%. This should help the text be easier to see when writing over the speaker’s face, and the speaker be visible, but more so in the background. (Then maybe create another “scene” that I can toggle when I want the speaker to be more prominent.)

that is way cool - thanks

Hi is it work on Macbook with ipad as 2nd screen? thx

Wowtastic!

do you have a similar tutorial with iPad for example ?

is that a external camera connected to a surface or is the surface connected to a pc? can we know your setup?

Can this be done with only one screen or you need 2 screens?

It is good. How to click screen window in OBS? for me I ca not ?

Great Thank you

Awesome video, you deserve more than 100k followers, i suggest doing more technical videos about frameworks, Software design, and best practices topics. if you haven't enough time to prepare rich content on these topics, you can invite people to your show.

hey this is cool! 😎

LOL you just exposed my video secrets . I use Bandicam for writing directly on the video without having to extract the color and use my live camera capture.

Gracias!!

I am trying to do a similar thing with a PowerPoint presentation. I want some of it to be seen But the main back ground to be transparent

It's cool that it's possible but I'm not quite sure of the use case of making it harder to read by being overlaid on top of your entire background vs just showing the screen itself

Alter you showed it, it is so obvious to do that 😁. Thanks for sharing!

Does work on laptop or do you require a surface?

very very cool

Will this work with IOS I'm on a Mac mini?

The highlighters work better because they premultiply the background, which makes for better anti-aliasing
