Can a background image be place in the video

[frazelle09]

We're looking to use this wonderful software to make some reels for a Special Education program but we'd like to change the background - like it's possible in Zoom - to something more "interesting". Can OBS do this?

Have a beautiful day and be happy! :)

by default - not that I'm aware of
However, there are chromakeying options, and 3rd party plugins with various capabilities

But what you are referring to are patented solutions and this is free, open-source software...

Thanks, Lawrence_SoCal! That was a fast reply. Wow. i'll have to keep looking under the 3rd party plugins. i found this one

Background Removal / Virtual Green-screen & Low-Light Enhance v1.1.13​

it's a whopping 239 Mb - larger than OBS itself - lol. i also have to learn how to install it since OBS seems to be lacking a - find, click and install - sort of system like FireFox. Finally, will have to see if it'll do what we need. Oh, and as an intermediate step, we need to shape-shift it from .deb to a .rpm for our PCLinuxOS system.

Thanks again for helping out. Have a beautiful Saturday afternoon up there in SoCal and be happy! :)
