So yesterday, I was having a meeting with a publisher where I needed to share several different screens... which is really annoying to do with Zoom. So something had to done about that ;)

What you see here is a multi-screen setup using OBS.

Screen 1: Me (full HD webcam view)
Screen 2: PowerPoint
Screen 3: Browser + me in split screen view
Screen 4: Full screen browser view
Screen 5: (not playing) ...a video

And I can then switch between them via the number keys

Here is a screenshot of what my 'switcher' look like. Each of the small pictures below is a preview of each view. The big window on the left is the preview (to set up the next view), and the big picture on the right is what is currently being shown to Zoom

BTW: Also take a look at my latest newsletter where I talk about setting up a better view for speakers

Another problem I have with Zoom is that the quality is often crap, even though at my end it looks both sharp and crystal clear. I just discovered this is because Zoom is not HD at all.

This is a problem because when you share a screen via OBS instead, it will only be 720p.
