(Instructions for Windows users are in Section B. It would be nice, wouldn’t it, to be able to add an App as my background. If we look at the virtual background options in the Zoom settings, we can see we can add an image, or a video as a background, but not an App and not a Window from our desktop.
Now, plausibly for the second of these scenarios, and even to an extent the first and third ones, Zoom has the facility of screen sharing. So it is quite likely to be useful information. ( presets for about 40 such services are included with OBS), as well as (*)record combined Thortspace-with-Presenter type videos for upload to your favourite video hosting site. ( Scenario4) In any case as I mentioned, the same technique described below, can also be used to (*)stream a combination of WebCam and Thortspace on any of all the main hosting services such as YouTube, Twitch, FacebookLive, etc. It might be nice, in certain situations at least, to be able to track what other users are doing on a collaborative sphere, more fully than just seeing the new thorts appear as they get created and edited. I can of course see the updates happening in real-time on the sphere itself, but I can’t see, at least not very obviously, where on the current sphere any particular user is working, or what they are working on. ( Scenario3) I am having a Thortspace realtime collaboration session with a several members of my team. ( Scenario2) Or equally, I am leading a Zoom event, and I want to be able to show event participants a Thortspace journey, directly from the Thortspace App. I’d like to be able to put a live view of the Thortspace App running behind my head so people can see me adding my event notes as I enter them into Thortspace while the event is unfolding. I’m joining a networking event where the rules are fairly relaxed. This is, by the way, how I made the YouTube video that is linked at the end both SectionA (about Apple Macs) and SectionB (about Windows PCs) below.Īlso consider the following other scenarios: However, combining a WebCam Presenter with video of the Thortspace App using OBS is useful technique to know about anyway, because OBS supports both recording and live streaming to a long list of streaming services (see Scenario4 below).
It wouldn’t surprise me if the missing feature that this is a work-around for is just added natively to the Zoom software, or even that it may already exist in some other platform that people aren’t using so much yet. The technique discussed below of connecting a WebCam and Thortspace simultaneously to Zoom via OBS may well turn out to only be useful for about a month. Introduction - why would you want to do this?
